Overview

Bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) is one of the most effective long-term treatments for obesity when diet and exercise alone have not been sufficient. These procedures work by reducing stomach capacity, altering hormonal signals, or changing food absorption. Dr. Biswajit Deuri performs all major bariatric procedures laparoscopically, offering patients a minimally invasive path to meaningful and lasting weight loss.

Conditions We Treat

  • Morbid obesity (BMI ≥ 35 with co-morbidities)
  • Obesity with Type 2 Diabetes (metabolic surgery)
  • Obesity with hypertension or heart disease
  • Obesity with obstructive sleep apnea
  • Failed diet and exercise programs
  • Obesity-related joint problems
  • Revision bariatric surgery (inadequate weight loss)

Procedure & Approach

The most common procedures include: (1) Sleeve Gastrectomy — removal of approximately 80% of the stomach, creating a sleeve-shaped stomach; (2) Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass — creation of a small stomach pouch and rerouting of the small intestine; (3) Mini Gastric Bypass. All are performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia, typically taking 1–2 hours.

Recovery & After-Care

Patients are typically hospitalized for 2–3 days. A liquid diet progresses to soft foods over 4–6 weeks. Most patients return to work in 2–4 weeks. Significant weight loss is typically achieved in the first 12–18 months, with ongoing lifestyle modification support.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a candidate for bariatric surgery?
Generally, candidates include adults with BMI ≥ 40, or BMI ≥ 35 with serious obesity-related health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or joint disease, who have not achieved adequate weight loss through diet and lifestyle changes.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
Most patients lose 60–80% of their excess body weight within 12–18 months. Sleeve gastrectomy typically results in 60–70% excess weight loss, while gastric bypass may achieve 70–80%. Maintaining lifestyle changes is essential for long-term success.
Is bariatric surgery safe?
Bariatric surgery is considered safe when performed by an experienced laparoscopic surgeon. The risks of surgery are generally lower than the health risks of continued morbid obesity. Dr. Deuri conducts thorough pre-operative assessment to minimize risks.
