About Bariatric Surgery in Thiruvananthapuram

Bariatric (weight-loss) surgery changes the stomach and/or intestine to reduce how much you can eat and how your body handles food. It is considered for people with severe obesity, especially when obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea are present. Bariatric Surgery procedures treat the stomach and digestive tract. Of the 4 bariatric surgery treatments on Go Surgery, 1 usually lets you go home the same day or the next.

Common operations include sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. Surgery is a tool rather than a cure — long-term success depends on lifelong dietary changes, activity, vitamin supplements and regular follow-up.

Conditions

These are common reasons patients in Thiruvananthapuram seek a bariatric surgery consultation.

Severe Obesity

Severe obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, joint problems and more. When lifestyle measures haven't worked, bariatric surgery may be an option.

Treatments

Sleeve Gastrectomy

About three-quarters of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, leaving a narrow sleeve. This limits portion size and reduces hunger hormones.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

A small stomach pouch is created and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing most of the stomach. It is particularly effective for type 2 diabetes and reflux.

Mini Gastric Bypass

A long, narrow stomach pouch is joined to a loop of small intestine with a single connection.

Intragastric Balloon

A soft balloon placed in the stomach endoscopically takes up space to help you eat less. It is temporary (usually 6–12 months) and non-surgical.

Gastric Bypass vs Sleeve Gastrectomy: Bariatric Surgery

Features	Gastric Bypass	Sleeve Gastrectomy
