A bariatric surgeon is a specialist focused on performing weight-loss surgeries for individuals facing health challenges due to obesity. These procedures are typically recommended for patients with:
Morbid Obesity: Defined as a high Body Mass Index (BMI).
Severe Comorbidities: Individuals with a BMI over 35 who also have conditions such as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), Hypertension (HT), or Sleep Apnea.
Weight-Loss Plateaus: Those who have been unable to lose weight through traditional methods like diet and exercise alone.
Common surgeries performed include gastric bypass and gastric sleeve. Beyond the operating room, a bariatric surgeon provides comprehensive support both before and after surgery, guiding patients on diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes while monitoring for any potential complications.
At Satva Hospital in Surat, Dr. Jenish Sheth—a consultant in general laparoscopic, hernia, and bariatric surgery—is available to assist you on your journey toward better health.
