If there's one metabolic disorder impacting millions worldwide cutting across boundaries of country, race, and ethnicity - It is Morbid Obesity. A chubby child may receive endless compliments and be tagged as "adorably cute," but if those excess kilos persist into adulthood, they often signal a looming health crisis.
Obesity defined as an abnormal or excessive body weight relative to height and gender can trigger a cascade of comorbid conditions including Hypertension (high blood pressure), Diabetes Mellitus (elevated blood glucose levels), hyperlipidemia (abnormal fat levels), fatty liver, sleep apnea, PCOD / infertility, joint pains, and spine-related issues.
Over time, obesity severely compromises the function of major organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys. The obese population faces significantly higher risks of heart disease, kidney failure, cancer, and a host of other chronic health concerns, all of which can drastically impair quality of life.
Beyond the physical burden, obesity also inflicts profound psychological distress. Individuals often struggle with depression, mood fluctuations, social withdrawal, poor self-esteem, and even suicidal thoughts largely stemming from body image issues and societal pressure.
This raises a vital question for those grappling with excess weight or their loved ones seeking to support them: what is the solution for obesity? While lifestyle modifications such as balanced nutrition, disciplined exercise, and dietary restrictions play a key role in weight management, these efforts alone may not yield significant or sustainable results quickly.
To combat stubborn fat and its underlying causes, a more advanced medical intervention is often essential one that is best delivered by a specialized team comprising bariatric surgeons, clinical nutritionists, and expert support personnel.
The Department of Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery at MASSH addresses the multifaceted challenges of obesity through state-of-the-art surgical interventions. These not only facilitate effective weight loss but also help in reversing many obesity-related health conditions:
1. 3D Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
2. 3D Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
3. Single Anastomosis Duodeno–Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S)
4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, involves procedures that help reduce stomach size or reroute the digestive system to promote weight loss. It is especially beneficial for patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 35–40 or those with obesity-related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
Bariatric surgery is performed to help individuals shed excess weight and significantly lower the risk of serious, potentially life-threatening health conditions associated with obesity, including:
At MASSH Hospital in Delhi, we evaluate each patient individually to recommend the most suitable procedure, ensuring both safety and optimal results.
Typically, weight-loss surgeries like bariatric procedures are considered only after individuals have made medically supervised efforts to lose weight through improved diet and regular physical activity, but have not achieved the desired results.
One of our key areas of expertise is minimal access surgeries also known as minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures. These advanced techniques involve performing surgical interventions with smaller incisions, using specialized instruments and cameras to visualize and access the affected area. Minimal access surgeries offer several benefits, including reduced post-operative pain, faster recovery times, shorter hospital stays, and minimal scarring. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped with cutting-edge technologies including:
