Weight Loss/ Bariatric Surgery
For patients battling obesity and associated illnesses like Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea, Lords Hospital provides advanced weight loss (bariatric) surgery programs.
These treatments aim to address underlying metabolic imbalances that impact long-term health in addition to weight loss.
Detailed Treatment Plan
01
Pre-surgical Evaluation
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive assessment to ensure the right treatment pathway:
- Body-mass-index (BMI) calculation and comorbidity analysis
- Endocrine and cardiac evaluations to assess systemic health
- Nutritional and psychological screening for readiness
- Counseling sessions to explain lifestyle changes and expectations
02
Personalized Surgical Planning
Our surgeons suggest the best bariatric procedure based on each patient's unique needs:
- Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG): Removes a portion of the stomach to limit food intake and improve hormonal balance.
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB): Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes digestion to reduce calorie absorption.
- Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB): A simplified and effective variant of gastric bypass with fewer anastomoses
- Adjustable Gastric Banding (AGB): Uses a silicone band to restrict stomach capacity Each operation is performed using minimally invasive keyhole techniques, ensuring less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery
