Got Following questions about obesity treatment, bariatric surgery, or weight loss management?
We’ve covered the most common concerns to help you make confident, informed decisions. From personalized diet plans to advanced surgical options, explore expert-backed answers that support every step of your weight loss journey.
Obesity is defined as a condition that’s caused by the deposit of excessive fat in the body. It is a chronic health condition that affects billions of people worldwide, irrespective of gender or race.
Obesity can increase your risk of cardiovascular diseases, renal failure, type 2 diabetes, and hypertension, alongside other health concerns. Uncontrolled body weight is one of the major contributors to most health problems faced by people. In women, obesity can increase the risk of gynaecological problems like polycystic ovarian syndrome.
When you visit MASSH for the first time for obesity and weight management, our experts will thoroughly understand your medical history and lifestyle. Following the initial checkup, diagnostic tests may be recommended to understand the extent of the underlying health conditions. Once the doctors have the required information, they will help you create a personalised treatment plan, including surgical treatment options if required.
Doctors can prescribe blood sugar monitoring tests and tests to check for the level of thyroid hormone in the body. Doctors may recommend other diagnostic or imaging tests based on your specific case and medical history.
Personalised lifestyle and dietary management are the most important non-surgical treatments recommended by doctors for weight management. This includes understanding your nutritional requirements and having doctors help you create a complete diet chart that you can follow to help you on your weight loss journey. At MASSH, we also provide intravenous treatments to expedite the weight loss process.
Weight management surgeries are known as bariatric surgeries. As one of the top minimally invasive surgical hospitals in Delhi, we offer highly directed 3D laparoscopic bariatric surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, mini gastric bypass surgery, and Roux EnY gastric bypass surgery.
As we specialise in minimally invasive surgeries, recovery at MASSH Hospital is relatively shorter compared to other healthcare institutions. Patients are free to go home on the day of the surgery if doctors permit, or they may be kept in observation for a day before release. We also provide dedicated postsurgical support to ensure safe recovery for our patients.
For non-surgical treatments like ballooning, it is possible for you to recover from the surgery within a week as the procedure is performed with utmost precision at MASSH. For invasive procedures like 3D Laparoscopic Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, 3D Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass, Ballooning Weight Loss Treatment, and 3D Laparoscopic Roux-En-Y, the recovery timeline can range from one week to a few weeks based on your overall health.

At MASSH, we are committed to supporting you with evidence-based, compassionate care from your very first visit. Our goal is to empower you to take control of your health journey safely and sustainably.
Before initiating any weight management plan, doctors at MASSH Hospital conduct a series of diagnostic evaluations to gain a complete understanding of your health status. These tests help identify underlying medical conditions that may contribute to weight gain or hinder weight loss. Based on your unique case and medical history, your care team will personalize the testing process.
Common diagnostic tests may include:
These tests allow our medical team to tailor a safe and effective treatment strategy that aligns with your overall health goals and addresses any associated conditions comprehensively.
Non-surgical approaches play a vital role in managing obesity effectively, especially when tailored to an individual’s specific needs. At MASSH Hospital, our doctors emphasize a personalized approach to lifestyle and dietary management as the foundation of any weight loss journey. These interventions not only promote sustainable weight loss but also help improve overall health outcomes without the need for surgery.
Key non-surgical weight management strategies include:
These evidence-based, non-invasive solutions are designed to work holistically and are often the first step before considering surgical options. They are especially effective when combined with professional medical supervision and patient commitment.
Surgical treatments for obesity are collectively referred to as bariatric surgeries. These procedures are typically recommended for individuals who have not achieved significant weight loss through lifestyle changes and non-surgical interventions. At MASSH Hospital, one of Delhi’s leading centers for minimally invasive surgery, we specialize in advanced 3D laparoscopic bariatric procedures that ensure precision, safety, and quicker recovery.
Common bariatric surgeries offered at MASSH Hospital include:
These surgical options are selected based on the patient's health status, BMI, existing medical conditions, and long-term weight loss goals. Our experienced surgical team ensures that every patient receives a personalized treatment plan focused on safety and sustainable results.
At MASSH, we are committed to ensuring a safe and smooth recovery for every bariatric surgery patient. Our expertise in minimally invasive procedures, such as 3D laparoscopic bariatric surgeries, allows for significantly shorter recovery times compared to traditional open surgery. In most cases, patients can return home the same day if cleared by the medical team. For others, a short observation period of 24 hours may be recommended to monitor initial post-operative progress.
To support long-term recovery and results, we also offer comprehensive post-surgical care tailored to each patient’s needs.
Post-operative care at MASSH includes:
At MASSH, both surgical and non-surgical weight management treatments are performed with advanced technology and high precision to ensure faster recovery and minimal discomfort. The length of the recovery period largely depends on the type of procedure undertaken and the patient’s overall health status.
Minimally invasive and non-surgical procedures, such as intragastric ballooning, typically allow for a quicker return to routine activities. More complex surgical interventions like gastric bypass may require a longer healing period but are closely supported by our expert post-operative care team.
Expected recovery timelines include:
At MASSH, our focus on precision-based, minimally invasive techniques and personalized aftercare helps ensure a faster, safer, and smoother recovery journey for every patient.
