Weight Loss Surgery in Delhi
What exactly is Weight loss surgery?

To know more about Weight loss Surgery in Delhi, Consult Dr. Sukhvinder Singh Saggu is the best weight loss surgeon in delhi.
This is achieved surgically by different techniques.
One of which is separating the stomach into two distinct pouches, one larger than the other. The small intestine is subsequently linked to the smaller stomach pouch, into which the food consumed enters.
As a result, a person who has had Bariatric Surgery feels fuller and quicker and eats fewer meals, resulting in lower calorie consumption. Because gastric bypass surgery leads to less meal digestion, the small intestine absorbs fewer calories and nutrients.
The general medical guidelines for weight-loss surgery are based on body mass index (BMI). BMI is a formula that estimates body fat based on weight and height. Adults with a BMI of 40 or greater may benefit from weight-loss surgery.
Ideal Candidate For Weight Loss Surgery
The surgery may also be an option for an adult who meets these three conditions:
-
BMI of 35 or higher
-
At least one obesity-related medical condition
-
At least six months of supervised weight-loss attempts
-
Weight-loss surgery may be a possibility for teenagers in certain instances.
The guidelines are as follows:
Obesity-related medical conditions with a BMI of 40 or higher
A BMI of 35 or greater, as well as a severe obesity-related medical condition
A Weight loss surgeon may utilize growth charts for teenagers instead of BMI values as a guideline for surgery. These charts illustrate the typical BMI range for each age group.
The surgeon may recommend the treatment depending on how much the adolescent’s BMI is over the normal BMI range. Some adults or adolescents with lower BMIs may be eligible to undergo weight-loss surgery, depending on the type or severity of an obesity-related condition.
