It is a surgical procedure that reduces the stomach’s size and reroutes the intestines to promote weight loss.

It limits food intake and nutrient absorption, leading to reduced calorie intake.

Most patients recover within 7 days and can return to normal activities.

It’s a permanent procedure, although it can be reversed in certain rare situations.

Patients typically lose 60-70% of excess body weight within first two years.

– A surgical procedure that removes a large portion of the stomach, restricting food intake.

The reduced stomach size limits the amount of food that can be consumed, and decreases hunger hormones.

The surgery typically takes around 2 hours and requires a hospital stay of 2-3 days.

As with any surgery, risks include infection, bleeding, and complications, but they are minimal with an experienced surgeon like Dr. Naresh Singhi.

Patients usually lose about 50-60% of their excess weight within the first two years.

A balloon is placed in the stomach to reduce food intake and promote weight loss.

The balloon is typically removed after 6 months.

It is a minimally invasive procedure with mild discomfort that usually resolves within a few days.

Patients typically lose 10-20% of their body weight over the six months.

It is ideal for patients with a BMI between 30-40 who are looking for a non-surgical option.

Patients are usually advised to fast for several hours (generally overnight) before the procedure to ensure a clear view.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure. Local anesthesia is provided to numb the area, ensuring comfort.

The procedure typically takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on individual conditions and requirements.

As with any procedure, there are risks, but serious complications are rare and with Dr. Naresh Singhi’s expertise these risks are minimized.

Patients may feel mild throat discomfort from local sedation but can typically go home the same day with post-procedure care instructions.

Heller’s Cardiomyotomy is a surgical procedure that cuts the muscles of the lower esophagus (foodpipe) to ease swallowing in patients with achalasia.

Recovery typically takes 3-5 days for laparoscopic surgery, while robotic surgery may have a slightly shorter recovery time.

Both techniques are effective, but robotic surgery offers greater precision, especially for complex cases, whereas laparoscopic surgery is faster and more cost-effective.

Risks include infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding structures, but with Dr. Naresh Singhi’s expertise, these risks are minimized.

Yes, a liquid or soft-food diet is recommended for the first few days, gradually progressing to solid foods as healing occurs.

Laparoscopic surgery uses a camera and instruments controlled by the surgeon, while robotic surgery involves robotic arms controlled by the surgeon for greater precision.

Robotic surgery offers enhanced precision, a 3D view, and a minimally invasive approach, making it ideal for complex or delicate procedures.

Not necessarily; while robotic surgery is more precise, laparoscopic surgery may be faster and more cost-effective for straightforward cases.

Laparoscopic surgery usually requires 3-5 days for recovery, while robotic surgery may allow a slightly faster recovery.

Yes, robotic surgery generally costs more due to the advanced equipment used, but its precision may justify the expense for more complex cases.
