Our Approach to Bariatric Surgery
Our Approach to Bariatric Surgery
At Divyajyoti Specialities Hospital, we provide Bariatric Surgery services to help patients who are struggling with obesity achieve significant and sustainable weight loss. Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a safe and effective option for individuals who have not been able to achieve long-term weight loss through diet and exercise alone.
Our approach to bariatric surgery includes:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: Before surgery, we perform a thorough assessment to determine if bariatric surgery is the right option, including evaluating medical history, body mass index (BMI), and any underlying conditions.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: We tailor each weight loss plan to meet the individual needs of our patients, considering factors such as age, overall health, and weight loss goals.
- Long-Term Support: Our commitment to your health doesn’t end with surgery. We provide ongoing support, including nutrition counseling, fitness plans, and regular follow-ups to help maintain long-term success.

Our Primary Care team ensures that you are in the best possible health before and after undergoing bariatric surgery. Here’s how we manage care:
- Pre-surgical Consultation: We perform a complete evaluation of your health to ensure that bariatric surgery is a safe and appropriate option. This may include lab tests, assessments of any underlying conditions, and psychological evaluations.
- Preoperative Education: We provide detailed information on what to expect during the surgery and recovery process, as well as how to prepare for a successful outcome.
- Post-surgery Follow-up: We offer continuous care after surgery, monitoring your weight loss progress and health status, providing emotional support, and adjusting your treatment plan as needed.
Our Industry Expertise
With years of experience in performing Bariatric Surgery, Divyajyoti Specialities Hospital is a trusted provider of weight loss solutions. Our expert surgeons specialize in the latest bariatric techniques and are committed to helping you achieve lasting results.
Our expertise includes:
- Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y): A popular procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes the digestive system to help you lose weight by limiting food intake and nutrient absorption.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: A procedure in which a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach that helps reduce hunger and food intake.
- Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band): A less invasive procedure where a band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch, limiting food intake and inducing a feeling of fullness.
- Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): A more complex surgery that involves both stomach reduction and bypassing a portion of the small intestine to reduce food absorption.
We use the latest surgical techniques and cutting-edge technology to ensure the safety and success of each procedure.
