Types of Bariatric Surgery in India

The most common types of bariatric surgery performed in India are:

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG):

This is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery in India. In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, creating a sleeve-shaped pouch that restricts the amount of food you can eat and reduces the production of hunger hormones.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB):

This surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine so that food bypasses most of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine. This reduces the amount of calories and nutrients your body absorbs.

Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB): An adjustable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch that restricts food intake. The band can be adjusted over time to control the amount of weight loss.
