weight loss surgeries
Dr. Amit Sood provides a range of bariatric surgeries in Patiala, tailored to meet individual patient needs. The primary procedures include:
Sleeve Gastrectomy: This surgery involves removing a significant portion of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This reduction limits food intake and decreases hunger by affecting hunger-related hormones.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: In this procedure, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the digestive system. This not only restricts food intake but also reduces nutrient absorption, aiding in significant weight loss.
Mini Gastric Bypass (One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass): This surgery is a simplified form of the traditional gastric bypass, creating a long, narrow gastric pouch and attaching it to a loop of the small intestine. It combines aspects of both restriction and malabsorption to facilitate weight loss.
Each of these procedures has its own benefits and considerations. Dr. Amit Sood conducts thorough evaluations to recommend the most suitable option based on the patient's health status and weight loss goals.
