Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric Surgery is a specialized surgical procedure designed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight and improve or resolve related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint problems. Dr. Apoorv Goel, an experienced gastrointestinal and laparoscopic surgeon, offers advanced bariatric procedures tailored to each patient’s unique health needs, ensuring safe and long-lasting results.

Bariatric surgery works by modifying the stomach and sometimes the intestines to limit food intake, reduce nutrient absorption, or both. Common procedures include Sleeve Gastrectomy, where a large portion of the stomach is removed to create a smaller, tube-shaped stomach, and Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, which reroutes the digestive tract to limit calorie absorption. These surgeries are performed laparoscopically, meaning they involve small incisions, less pain, and quicker recovery compared to open surgery.

Candidates for bariatric surgery typically have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or more, or a BMI of 35 or more with obesity-related health issues. Dr. Apoorv Goel provides thorough preoperative assessment, nutritional counseling, and post-surgical support, helping patients achieve and maintain weight loss goals while improving overall health.

The benefits of bariatric surgery go beyond weight loss—it leads to better quality of life, increased mobility, and reduced dependency on long-term medications. Under Dr. Goel’s expert care, patients receive a holistic, compassionate approach to weight management that empowers them to lead healthier, more active lives.
