You are a candidate for surgical BARIATRIC MET weight loss:
It is likely that your obesity, even though milder, has seriously affected on your metabolism. One such effect is “insulin resistance” causing diabetes. Hence, you will benefit with procedures that have a greater resolution of diabetes. These procedures alter the levels of gut hormones and produce insulin-like effect without stressing the already ‘weak’ pancreas, hence are better than the commonly done sleeve gastrectomy. They typically have a “bypass” element on the intestine, hence, need special follow up for their nutritional side-effects.
THE RECOMMENDED OPTIONS ARE:
- MINI GASTRIC BYPASS
- CLASSIC GASTRIC BYPASS
- ‘SLEEVE PLUS’ OPERATIONS
- SLEEVE GASTRECTOMY
The final decision of your procedure is what you choose, after you have considered Dr. Zachariah's recommendations.

BARIATRIC LITE
MILD OBESITY
"Are you hesitant to undergo an operation, but want to start a lifestyle change, with a weight loss procedure? Maybe, just to be fit?"
If your BMI is between 30-35, and have no health issues, but
- You are concerned about 'losing control' on the steadily gaining weight.
- Diet and exercise are not keeping the weight down.
- You have family history of metabolic diseases like diabetes, BP, raised cholesterol, etc.
- You are looking to have only a temporary procedure, to initiate your weigh loss efforts.
You can choose to have the BARIATRIC LITE option.
Majority of people (50-60%) today, are overweight, or in the Class 1 obesity ( BMI 30-35) section. Low calorie diet with exercise, is the mainstay of the weight loss in this group. However, for most, it is easier said than done. So, we recommend this solution only for a temporary weight loss, as there is a potential for weight-regain, if you do not continue an effective weight loss (diet and exercise) program after that. Hence, you should consider the pros and cons, before choosing this option. However, many do report that they could jump-start their weight loss programs, this way.
THE RECOMMENDED OPTIONS ( ALONG WITH DIET + EXERCISE) ARE:
- GASTRIC BALLOON
- GASTRIC BALLOON + INJ. SAXENDA
- OTHER OPTIONS
The final decision of your procedure is what you choose after you have considered Dr. Zachariah's recommendations.
