Artemis Hospital Bariatric and Minimal Invasive Institute
Bariatric or weight loss surgery is the only means of successful and durable weight loss in those people that have failed other means. This is NOT cosmetic surgery and is considered only in patients who are severely or morbidly obese. The most popular surgeries are:
- Lap Band: An adjustable band is placed on the upper part of the stomach. This reduces stomach capacity and hunger.
- Roux-en-y Gastric Bypass: The stomach is divided into a small pouch the size of a golf ball, and a part of the intestine is bypassed. This reduces hunger, makes a person feel full quickly and a part of the food is not absorbed into the body.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: 80% of the stomach is removed leaving a narrow sleeve of stomach behind. A person feels less hungry as a hormone called Ghrelin, which is responsible for hunger, is no longer produced. In addition the person feels full quickly during a meal.
All these operations can be done laparoscopically so that the patient spends only one to two days in the hospital and can return to their daily routine in 1-2 weeks. Patients can lose 50-80% of their excess weight over 1-2 years. However, regular follow-up with the surgeon and a good diet and exercise program are important to maintain the weight in the long term.
Dr. Sandeep Malhotra is a bariatric surgeon at ARTEMIS Health Sciences in Gurgaon. He is currently performing at the above three types of weight loss surgery in Gurgaon. He was the director of bariatric surgery at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York before he relocated to India. He has successfully performed over 300 cases in USA and now leads a comprehensive multi-disciplinary obesity control program. The team includes dieticians, exercise physiologists, internal medicine weight loss specialists, and motivators. The program offers both non-surgical and surgical solutions for weight loss. Artemis is a State of the Art health care facility in Gurgaon with 500 beds, a 24-hour emergency department, and experts in various fields from India and abroad.
