Understanding Weight Loss Surgery

Bariatric surgery refers to surgical procedures that modify the digestive system to promote significant and sustained weight loss in individuals with severe obesity. These procedures are not cosmetic — they are life-saving interventions that resolve type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, joint pain, and significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and certain cancers.

At Divine Health, our bariatric program is a multidisciplinary effort involving bariatric surgeons, nutritionists, psychologists, and physiotherapists working together to achieve lasting results.

Our Bariatric Procedures

Sleeve Gastrectomy

The most performed bariatric procedure globally. Approximately 80% of the stomach is removed, creating a banana-shaped sleeve. Reduces stomach capacity and hunger hormone (ghrelin) production. Patients lose 60–70% of excess body weight.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine to this pouch, bypassing most of the stomach and proximal intestine. Highly effective for diabetes resolution — 80–95% remission rate. Average excess weight loss: 70–80%.

Revision Bariatric Surgery

For patients with inadequate weight loss or weight regain after a previous bariatric procedure. We perform sleeve-to-bypass conversions and band removal with sleeve.

Frequently Asked Questions — Weight Loss Surgery

Clear answers to your questions about weight loss surgery

Is weight loss surgery safe? +
Modern laparoscopic bariatric surgery is safe with major complication rates under 3% at experienced centres like Divine Health. The risk of surgery is far less than the long-term risk of untreated severe obesity, which includes heart disease, diabetes complications, and cancer.
How much weight will I lose? +
Sleeve gastrectomy patients lose 60–70% of excess body weight over 12–18 months. Gastric bypass patients lose 70–80%. Results vary by individual adherence to dietary guidelines and exercise.
Does weight loss surgery cure diabetes? +
Yes. Gastric bypass achieves type 2 diabetes remission (normal blood sugar without medication) in 80–95% of patients, often within days of surgery — before significant weight loss occurs. Sleeve gastrectomy achieves 60–70% diabetes remission.
Will I need to take supplements forever? +
Yes. Bariatric surgery reduces absorption of vitamins and minerals. Lifelong supplementation with a multivitamin, vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, and iron is necessary. Blood tests are done annually to monitor levels.
How long is recovery after bariatric surgery? +
Patients are walking on day 1, go home in 3–4 days, and return to desk work in 2 weeks. Heavy physical activity is restricted for 4–6 weeks. The full transformation in appearance and energy levels occurs over 12–18 months.
What can I eat after bariatric surgery? +
Week 1: clear liquids only. Weeks 2–4: pureed food. Month 2: soft foods. Month 3+: regular healthy foods in small portions. Alcohol and carbonated drinks are restricted. Our nutritionist provides a detailed meal plan for each stage.
Is the weight loss permanent? +
Bariatric surgery provides a powerful tool for weight loss, but long-term success depends on lifestyle changes. Patients who follow dietary guidelines and exercise regularly maintain 50–70% of excess weight loss at 10 years. Revision surgery is available for weight regain.
Does insurance cover bariatric surgery? +
Coverage varies. Some policies cover bariatric surgery for BMI ≥ 40 or BMI ≥ 35 with comorbidities. CGHS and some corporate policies cover it. Our insurance team will review your policy and provide a detailed authorization support service.
What is the minimum age for bariatric surgery? +
Bariatric surgery is performed in adults (18+) as standard. In adolescents with severe obesity and related conditions, surgery may be considered after 15–16 years with parental consent and full multidisciplinary evaluation.
What happens during the bariatric pre-operative evaluation? +
Pre-operative evaluation includes blood tests, ECG, upper GI endoscopy, sleep study (for sleep apnea), nutritionist consultation, psychological evaluation, and anaesthesia fitness assessment. This process takes 2–4 weeks.
