Overview
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric Surgery, commonly referred to as weight-loss surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure designed to help individuals with severe obesity achieve long-term weight loss and improve their overall health. It alters the digestive system to limit food intake or absorption, helping manage obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
At Dr. KM Cherian Institute of Medical Sciences, our Department of Minimally Invasive & Laparoscopic Surgery offers advanced bariatric procedures by experienced surgeons to ensure safe and effective results.
