Advanced Bariatric Surgery at Ujala Cygnus Hospitals
At Ujala Cygnus Hospitals, we offer comprehensive bariatric and metabolic surgery services for individuals struggling with obesity and weight-related health complications. Obesity is a complex medical condition that can significantly impact physical health, emotional wellbeing, mobility, and overall quality of life.
Our multidisciplinary team of bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, endocrinologists, physiotherapists, and healthcare professionals works closely with each patient to develop a customised treatment plan. Before recommending surgery, patients undergo detailed medical evaluations, nutritional assessments, and lifestyle counselling to ensure the most appropriate treatment approach.
Using advanced laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, we focus on helping patients achieve substantial weight loss, improve metabolic health, reduce obesity-related risks, and maintain long-term results through ongoing support and follow-up care.
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric Surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures that help individuals lose weight by modifying the digestive system. These procedures work by reducing stomach capacity, limiting food intake, altering nutrient absorption, or a combination of both. As a result, patients feel full sooner, consume fewer calories, and experience significant weight loss over time.
Bariatric Surgery is generally recommended for individuals with severe obesity or those who have obesity-related medical conditions that affect their health and daily life. In addition to weight reduction, bariatric procedures can improve or even resolve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver disease, joint pain, and obstructive sleep apnoea.
Types of Bariatric Surgery
Sleeve Gastrectomy
One of the most commonly performed weight loss procedures, sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a portion of the stomach to reduce food intake and appetite.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
This procedure creates a smaller stomach pouch and reroutes part of the digestive tract to reduce calorie absorption and support significant weight loss.
Mini Gastric Bypass
A simplified variation of gastric bypass surgery that provides effective weight loss and metabolic benefits through a less complex surgical approach.
Adjustable Gastric Band Surgery
A silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to limit food intake and promote gradual weight loss.
Revision Bariatric Surgery
This procedure is performed for patients who require correction or modification of a previous bariatric surgery due to inadequate weight loss or complications.
Metabolic Surgery
Specialised procedures aimed at improving obesity-related metabolic disorders, particularly type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance.
