What Kind of Weight Loss Surgery to Opt For? In today’s era where how one eats, how one looks and how one talks are given huge weightage it certainly is important that one tries his/her level best to become more attractive says some of the best plastic surgeon in India. People usually go for surgeries when they are looking for faster results. Exercising and healthy diet are more chosen options for weight loss but they are time taking and require loads of dedication.

Here are two major weight loss surgeries according to some best Gastroenterologist in Gurgaon:


Gastric Banding Surgery- This is one of the most fondly chosen surgical procedure for weight loss. The surgery is performed using a laparoscopy (meaning a cut in belly), following the cut a silicone band is put around the stomach in a manner that it boils down to the size of a pouch. There is great difference between the amount of food a person is able to consume before and after the surgery. The silicone band can be adjusted according to patient’s need afterwards but that would require extra charges. Some side effects include vomiting and few other minor surgical complications. A person’s ability to overeat is brought down to almost zero as a result of shortening of stomach says a spokesperson of one of the best hospital for gastroenterology. Sleeve Gastrectomy- This surgical procedure is very different from Gastric Banding Surgery. This also includes cutting up of belly in order to decrease the size of stomach. In the words of gastroenterologist of one of the best center for gastric treatment Gurgaon the stomach is reduced to 15% of its original size and the stomach produces appetiteregulating hormone ghrelin in less quantity. Major part of stomach is cut out only small amount is left inside the patient’s body, hence one is able to eat food in less quantity only. The cost of surgery is pretty high and hence people usually prefer to go for other types of surgery. Some after surgery complications that one might experience includes blood clots (very few cases reported), pain in and around the operated area, vomiting, feeling of nausea and wound infections (the most commonly reported).

Going for a weight loss surgery is a personal decision but one of the top gastroenterologists in Delhi NCR recommends it’s best to discuss one’s health condition with a doctor before proceeding with the decision as some people’s condition might be treatable by other easier ways.
