LAPAROSCOPIC BARIATRIC SURGERY

Fortis International Care is one of the best bariatric surgery centers and a highly preferred hospital for weight loss surgery in Bangalore. We are equipped with advanced facilities and our specialists perform the best-in-class overweight surgeries to alleviate the complications arising out of obesity. Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure performed to bring back a patient from the unhealthy weight range to the healthy range by natural means. The underlying principle is to restrict the food intake and reduce the absorption of food in the stomach and the intestines. There are two types of bariatric surgery: Restrictive and Malabsorptive. Restrictive procedures decrease the size of the stomach, thus lowering its capacity to hold food and leading to a lesser intake of food. Malabsorptive procedures decrease the absorption of calories in the small intestine. The benefits of a bariatric surgery include:

• Weight loss
• Fitter and more active
• Reduction in effects of diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension, sleep apnea etc.
• Thinner and better looking physique.

• Removal of the appendix
