Bariatric Surgery - A modern Day Magic

Bariatric surgery in Surat is often called modern day magic because of how much it can change a person's health and daily life. The real story is simpler: it is proven surgical science, backed by the right diet, regular follow-up and the patient's own commitment. Watch this short video from Dr. Vikram Lotwala and the Wings Bariatrics team.

Why bariatric surgery is called modern day magic

• It helps people with obesity lose a significant amount of weight when diet and exercise alone have not worked.
• It can help improve obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
• Most procedures are done laparoscopically, through small cuts, which usually means a shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.

What makes the results last

Surgery is the first step, not the last. Long-term results depend on following the diet plan, staying active, taking the advised supplements and attending regular follow-ups with your surgeon and dietitian.
