Bariatric Surgery, Wanowarie - Ruby Hall Clinic

What is Bariatric Surgery?

In combination with a healthy diet and exercise, bariatric surgery is a treatment modality for improving obesity and obesity-related diseases. It involves making changes to the digestive system — either to cause a reduction in the amount of food you are able to eat comfortably or a reduction in the absorption of calories from the food you eat, or both. This results in the management of weight and ultimately improves health and well-being.

What are the speciality services available at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie?

Focusing on weight reduction and healthy lifestyle changes, bariatric surgeons at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie provide comprehensive pre-operative, peri-operative, and post-operative surgical care. Some of the speciality services offered include:

Comprehensive Assessment

Our experts analyse the cause of your obesity and depending on your age and other lifestyle factors determine if and which kind of weight loss surgery would best suit you.

Bariatric Surgery:

Based on your condition, our experts recommend and perform the following types of bariatric surgery both by open and laparoscopic procedures:

Gastric bypass (known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) creates a small stomach pouch out of a portion of the stomach and attaches it directly to the small intestine
Sleeve or vertical sleeve gastrectomy creates a small stomach pouch without affecting the small intestine
Gastric banding ties up a portion of the stomach

Support Services:

Bariatric surgery is considered a success when you not just lose weight but successfully manage to keep it off. It involves a change in lifestyle and at times, patients may require support and counselling through the journey. Holding your hand every step of the way, our hospital offers support through the entire continuum of care — right from nutrition to counselling and even support groups.

Here are answers to some basic questions to help guide you through your journey at Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie:

Q: What is the difference between liposuction and bariatric surgery?

A: Liposuction is a cosmetic procedure intended to remove a patient’s existing fat, but doesn’t address the actual cause of weight gain. On the other hand, bariatric surgery entails lifestyle changes to alter a person’s metabolism and actually addresses the cause of weight gain. In patients with a BMI of 30 or more, it is scientifically proven to help patients achieve long-term weight loss.

Q: What are the risks of bariatric surgery?

A: As with any major surgery, bariatric surgery too can possess some risks. These include infection, adverse reaction to anaesthesia, hernias, vomiting, blood clots, acid reflux and ulcers. However, we take utmost care to minimise these risks wth intensive pre operative evaluation and post surgical care.

Q: What are the benefits of bariatric surgery?

A: Bariatric surgery has been shown to help improve or resolve obesity and its related conditions. More importantly, the weight loss associated with bariatric surgery has also been shown to improve a person’s quality of life by means of mobility, self-esteem, work, social interactions, and even sexual function.

Q: How much weight will I lose with bariatric surgery?

A: Firstly, the amount of weight you lose depends on the kind of surgery you have and your adherence to your post surgical plan. Men tend to lose weight at a faster pace than women. On an average, people lose upto 20% of their average weight two months post surgery and upto 60% of their body weight in the long run.

Q: How quickly can I have the surgery performed?

A: Typically, it takes between 2-4 weeks to have your surgery from the time of your first consultation. At Ruby Hall Clinic Wanowarie, we believe that it’s crucial to thoroughly assess and prepare you prior to your surgery. In addition to a complete medical assessment, we also educate you on what to expect after surgery and how to manage your new stomach once surgery is completed so that your weight loss results are permanent and positively life-altering.
