Bariatric Surgery in India — FAQ
Which bariatric procedure is best for me?
Depends on BMI, eating habits, comorbidities and the surgeon's assessment. Sleeve and bypass are the most common.
How much weight will I lose?
Most patients lose 50–70% of excess weight within 12–18 months, with variation based on adherence to diet and exercise.
Is bariatric surgery reversible?
Sleeve gastrectomy is not reversible. Bypass can sometimes be revised or reversed, but it is complex and not routinely done.
Will I need vitamins after surgery?
Yes. Lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation (iron, calcium, B12) is essential to prevent deficiencies.
How soon can I return to work?
Many patients return to desk jobs in 2–3 weeks; heavy physical work may require 4–6 weeks.
Can I get pregnant after bariatric surgery?
Yes, but it is recommended to wait 12–18 months until weight stabilizes and nutrition is optimized.
Do you offer dietary support after surgery?
Yes. Dietitians provide pre- and post-op counselling and long-term follow-up plans.
