When an individual chooses a weight loss surgery over other means to lose weight, chances are that everything else has failed. Weight loss is not just ornamental; it is one of the major ways to curb other lifestyle diseases like hypertension and type II diseases and stay healthy. With obesity comes a host of risk factors that can make life difficult for patients and even reduce their lifespan.

- Da Vinci Xi: This is a relatively new and advanced surgical system designed to give optimum medical care to patients. Highly trained surgeons perform this procedure to help patients recover faster, have minimal discomfort, and improve the rate of success. The procedure involves smaller incisions, less scarring, quick recovery, better precision, improved results, and exceptional facilities.
- LAP-BAND Surgery: LAP-BAND surgery involves the placement of an adjustable band (silicone) into the stomach to restrict calorie intake. It creates a pouch inside the stomach that can store lesser food than normal. As a result, weight loss is inevitable. The procedure is customizable, fully reversible, and ensures long-term results.
- Bariatric Revision: With the advances in surgical techniques and technology, bariatric revisions also improved. If any previous bariatric surgery does not give the desired result or causes complications, a revision is recommended.
