Do I Really Need Weight Loss Surgery? Risk & Benefits

Weight Loss Surgery in Mumbai

Severe obesity leads to several diseases in the body. Weight loss surgery in Mumbai is not very popular yet. It’s because people still lack clear knowledge of the process. 

If you are obese, then you have a higher chance of developing serious conditions like type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Weight loss surgeries including gastric bypass are collectively called bariatric surgery.

When to go for weight loss surgery in Mumbai?

You should opt for the surgery when exercise and diet control have failed to trigger weight reduction. Usually, the bariatric surgery doctors in Mumbai will suggest the option when:

  • The body mass index or BMI is higher than 40. This condition is called extreme obesity.
  • The body mass ranges between 35 to 39.9. This condition is called obesity.
  • You are suffering from various weight-related ailments like type 2 diabetes, severe sleep apnea, or high blood pressure problems.

The process typically involves a reduction of the size of your stomach. It will slow down the process of digestion. The process will also restrict calorie absorption.

At Laparoscopy & Bariatric Surgery Centre, we have the best team of doctors who have the necessary skill set to perform the surgeries. 

Analyzing the risks and benefits

Health improvement is the primary and vital aspect of weight loss surgeries. Obesity can restrict normal life as you will face mobility issues apart from health issues. 

But again, there will be benefits and risks to the process. Know about both to determine whether you want the surgery from us. 

Benefits:

  • Significant weight loss: 

The weight loss surgery cost in Mumbai is insignificant when you undergo significant and permanent weight loss. 

  • The process changes your gastrointestinal activities.
  • There are bariatric procedures that will limit food consumption.
  • The resulting changes in the hormones will reduce hunger and increase the feelings of fullness. 
  • Weight loss is permanent if you can maintain the right dietary and lifestyle changes. 

It’s possible to shed off more than 50% of your body weight through this process. 

  • Improves health condition: 

Obesity worsens different diseases. These include hypertension, cardiac issues, sleep apnea, asthma, arthritis, stroke, acid reflux, and more. The bariatric surgery doctors in Mumbai have seen patients recover from Diabetes type 2 post this surgery. 

  • Greater life expectancy: 

If you are obese, bariatric surgery will lower the risk of death. If you suffer from a life-threatening disease during the operation, we can still claim that you stand every chance of recovery and longer life.  

  • A better life: 

Astounding weight loss is a huge physical transformation. It will help you to develop self-esteem, have a better sexual life, and have good social interactions. 

But there are risks too.

Risks:

The common risks of weight loss surgery in Mumbai include:

  1. Anesthesia-related risks
  2. Permanent inability to eat certain food
  3. Infection
  4. Dilation of the esophagus can obstruct the stomach. 

But these issues are minor when you look at the benefits of the surgery. There can be a chance of permanent low blood sugar levels from the surgery. Even then, the condition will be better than having Type 2 diabetes.
