Bariatric (Metabolic) Surgery in India

Bariatric surgery has been known for being the best alternative for treating morbid obesity and other related conditions, but now there is mounting evidence through research that it may be the most effective treatment for metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea and high cholesterol. This goes to challenge general perception among people, where surgery is generally not considered an option to treat diabetes or hypertension.

Increased body fat is a major risk factor in inducing metabolic diseases. There exists a significant co-relation between body fat and incidence of metabolic diseases in a person. About half of people with BMI more than 30, and about three fourth of people with BMI of more than 35 have been found to have one or more metabolic disease. Metabolic disease occurs when our body fails to adequately metabolize due to lack of insulin or there is lack of body response to insulin that is being produced. Research in this area, though mostly limited to morbidly obese patients, suggests to metabolic surgery being helpful in improving insulin resistance and secretion.

So, the thumb rule is – if you are obese (BMI more than 30 with associated conditions or BMI of more than 35), a timely surgical intervention could save you from twin epidemics of morbid obesity and type 2 diabetes. Research indicates that apart from losing 65-70% of excess weight, metabolic and bariatric surgery brings in significant improvements in more than 80% patients with type 2 diabetes, more than 70% patients with hypertension and high cholesterol and more than 85% patients with sleep apnea. Appreciable improvements are also seen in patients with joint diseases, asthma and infertility.
