Role of Gastric bypass surgeons in India

Obesity is a killer disorder that can take away a sane life from you and deprive you of all the good things in life. It can be fatal in the long run and unless you do something about it with promptness, you are sure to have a tough time managing the various ailments that will strike you in due course of time. However, the situation is not as serious as it used to be. Thanks to the gastric bypass surgeons that have acted as saviors and treated many individuals with obesity only to give them a better quality of life.
Gastric bypass surgery is basically a weight loss surgery that is usually opted for when rigorous exercises and religious food restrictions have failed to yield optimum results. You must have heard about a number of weight loss surgeries and they are collectively called bariatric surgery. However, it has been observed that most of the gastric bypass surgeons prefer this surgery as the other surgeries for weight loss have higher incidence of complications.
How is this obesity treatment carried out?
When you opt for gastric bypass surgery, you will be given general anesthesia. So, you will not feel the pain and sleep throughout the procedure. The surgeon can carry out the procedure in two ways. He will either opt for opening up the entire stomach or do the necessary bypass by working upon the small intestine stomach, and other related organs. The second procedure is done with the help of a laparoscope in which a tiny camera is inserted through the laparoscope.
In most of the cases, the surgeon will prefer to opt for laparoscopy unless and otherwise your situation demands that the entire stomach should be opened fully. You will be advised to follow a strict diet regime and do few lighter exercises after the surgery is done. However, it is important that you abide by the instructions of the surgeon religiously and a failure to do so may lead to unwanted complications.
What to expect after surgery?
It has been observed that the obesity treatment Indian surgeons perform has been able to tackle several ailments that have improved over time after the surgery. These include-
1. Marked improvement in high blood pressure.
2. Asthma attacks become infrequent.
3. GERD or Gastroesophageal reflux disease was managed well
4. Checks high cholesterol from building up in the body
