Everything You Need to Know About Your Weight-Loss Journey

Bariatric surgery is generally recommended for individuals with a BMI of 35 or above with obesity-related health conditions, or a BMI of 40 and above. Our specialists perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if the procedure is the right option for you.

The ideal procedure depends on your health condition, BMI, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

Weight loss outcomes vary depending on procedure and individual factors.

To qualify for weight loss surgery, you must weigh 30 kg more than your ideal body weight or have a BMI greater than 37 without associated diabetes or hypertension, or a BMI greater than 32 with associated comorbidities.

Candidates should have Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus that is not adequately controlled with medication and lifestyle changes. Other considerations include evidence of organ damage, such as neuropathy or kidney disease, and sufficient insulin reserves.

Obesity can lead to several health issues and increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, joint pain, and other obesity-related complications.

Mild obesity can be managed through diet, exercise, and medication. However, these approaches may not always provide sufficient results, especially for individuals with obesity-related diseases. In such cases, weight loss surgery may be a suitable option.

After bariatric surgery, most individuals with morbid obesity can maintain more than 50% excess weight loss. Approximately 80% of individuals with super morbid obesity can achieve more than 50% excess weight loss.

Patients may be able to resume office or desk work as early as 3 days after surgery. For jobs involving heavy lifting, a longer recovery period may be required. Recovery times vary depending on the patient and the procedure.
