VS Hospitals and Asian Bariatrics to establish Center for Bariatric n Metabolic Surgeries

“Bariatric surgery is not only for obese people. It is fast becoming a lifeline for people suffering from uncontrolled diabetes. World over one person dies of diabetes related complications every second. When people cannot control diabetes through diet, exercise or medication surgical intervention at the right time will help them reduce or even get cured from diabetes and its related complications.” said Dr.Mahendra Narwaria, Robotics & GI Surgeon &Chariman, Asian Bariatrics.

Dr Sanjay Patolia, Bariatrics& GI Surgeon and Vice Chairman, Asian Bariatrics said “In the metabolic surgery which is also called LaproscopicIlleal Interposition with diverted sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach size is reduced by around 40% and small intestine rearranged in a way that body is enabled to produce maximum hormone GLP1 which optimizes beta cells of pancreas to produce more insulin. This automatically helps in better sugar control”.”

“Having performed more than 6500 successful surgeries, we have wonderful results to showcase over time. A good percentage of the patients we see at our Ahmedabad hospital are from South India and hence setting up a center in Chennai will help serve this part of the country better.” added Dr.Narwaria.
