Diabetes and Obesity : A growing epidemic
Successful life transforming story of a Gurgaon resident struggling with Diabetes and Severe Obesity.
Patient Profile
Patient Profile
Mr. VijayPal Dayma, young gentleman from Gurgaon weighing approximately 215 kg, was struggling with super super morbid obesity (BMI -62kg/m2), which made even daily activities difficult for him. Recently, he also had developed diabetes and hypertension. His previous diet plans were ineffective, leading him to opt for weight loss surgery.
Hospital Evaluation and Preparation
At Shalby Sanar Hospital, Mr. Dayma was thoroughly evaluated by a team of specialists led by Dr. Vinay Shaw, Head of the Department of GI, MAS & Bariatric Surgery. His fitness for surgery was assessed and optimized in collaboration with Dr. Sabih, Head of the Department of Anesthesia, and his team. This included a mock drill to ensure maximum safety during the procedure.
The Surgery
Mr. Dayma underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery, which was successfully performed. He was discharged in good condition just two days post-operation.
Post-Operative Progress
Mr. VijayPal has already lost more than 50kg in just six months now since surgery. His blood sugar and blood pressure levels are now well-controlled and he is off medications.Follow-up care from a dedicated team—including nurses, physiotherapists, dieticians, and support staff—has contributed to his positive outcome.
Insights on Bariatric Surgery
Weight loss after bariatric surgery is gradual but substantial. Most patients see significant results within six months, with continued loss up to 18-24 months post-surgery. Typically, patients lose around 60-80% of their excess body weight, leading to beneficial hormonal changes and improved overall health.
Health Benefits
Successful weight loss can lead to the resolution or improvement of obesity-related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, joint pain, sleep apnea, and mental health issues like anxiety and depression. Additionally, it positively impacts social well-being, reducing feelings of helplessness related to body shaming and hence boosting self confidence.
Is the Procedure Safe?
In experienced hands, with high-volume GI surgical expertise, the risks associated with bariatric surgery are minimal—especially compared to the risks of remaining severely obese without intervention.
Since its inception, Shalby Sanar International Hospital has performed around 100 bariatric surgeries with no major complications, highlighting the procedure’s safety when performed with proper preparation and a multidisciplinary approach.
Technology and Expertise
Advanced computerized technology in surgical devices during surgery has enhanced precision and safety during surgery along with refinements in surgical techniques. Preparation, individualized patient care, and team collaboration are key to achieving excellent outcomes.
Summary
Bariatric surgery is a safe, effective option for severe obesity, offering significant health benefits and improved quality of life. If you or your loved ones are considering weight loss surgery, consult with experienced specialists to understand the best approach for your health journey.
