Bariatric and metabolic surgery

Specialist : Dr. Pankaj Khandelwal

Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries make changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight by limiting your intake. Gastric bypass and other weight-loss surgeries are done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.

Gastric bypass surgery is done to help you lose excess weight and reduce your risk of potentially life threatening weight related health problems, including:

• Gastro esophageal reflux disease
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• Severe sleep apnea
• Type 2 diabetes
• Stroke
