What Is Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, includes a group of procedures that help patients lose significant and sustained weight by changing how the digestive system works. These procedures may reduce stomach capacity, alter calorie absorption, and influence hormones related to hunger and metabolism. Bariatric surgery is not a cosmetic procedure. It is a medical treatment recommended for eligible patients with severe obesity, especially when conservative weight loss measures have not worked and obesity is affecting long-term health.
Obesity-Related Conditions Bariatric Surgery Can Help Improve
Bariatric surgery can help improve or reduce the burden of many obesity-related health problems, especially when excess weight is contributing directly to disease progression and poor quality of life.
- Type 2 Diabetes
- Hypertension
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea
- Fatty Liver Disease
- PCOS
- Joint Pain and Osteoarthritis
- Cardiovascular Risk
- Infertility Related to Hormonal Imbalance
Dr. Rahul Kumar — Bariatric & Laparoscopic Surgeon
Dr. Rahul Kumar is an experienced laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon with focused expertise in minimally invasive weight loss procedures. He offers individualised treatment planning based on each patient's medical profile, weight history, comorbidities, and readiness for lifestyle change.
Before recommending surgery, he performs a detailed clinical evaluation and ensures that patients and families understand the procedure, expected results, risks, and the long-term commitment needed after bariatric surgery.
Bariatric Procedures Available at Jigyasa Hospital
1. Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow sleeve-shaped stomach. It reduces food intake and lowers hunger-related hormone activity, helping patients achieve substantial long-term weight loss.
2. Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine. It helps with both restriction and reduced absorption and is especially effective for patients with severe obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
3. Mini Gastric Bypass
A simplified bypass technique that can provide meaningful weight loss and metabolic benefits with a shorter operative time in selected patients.
4. Adjustable Gastric Band
A band is placed around the upper stomach to limit food intake. Although less commonly advised today, it may still be considered in carefully selected patients.
5. Revisional Bariatric Surgery
For patients who have had prior bariatric surgery but face inadequate weight loss, weight regain, or complications, Dr. Rahul Kumar also evaluates revision options where appropriate.
Who Is a Candidate for Weight Loss Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is usually recommended for adults with severe obesity, particularly when obesity-related diseases are present and medically supervised weight loss efforts have not succeeded.
- BMI 40 kg/m² or higher, with or without comorbidities
- BMI 35 kg/m² or higher with serious obesity-related conditions
- BMI 32.5 kg/m² or higher in Asian Indians with significant comorbidities
- Failure of at least 6 months of medically supervised weight management
At Jigyasa Hospital, candidacy is confirmed through a detailed pre-surgical workup that may include blood tests, imaging, endoscopy, pulmonary evaluation, and psychological assessment.

Is bariatric surgery safe?
Yes. When performed by an experienced bariatric surgeon in a well-equipped hospital, bariatric surgery is considered safe and effective. At Jigyasa Hospital, procedures are performed laparoscopically with careful pre-operative assessment and structured follow-up care.
How much weight can I lose after surgery?
Most patients lose around 60% to 80% of their excess body weight over 12 to 24 months, depending on the type of surgery and how well they follow diet, activity, and follow-up advice after the procedure.
Will my diabetes or blood pressure improve after surgery?
