Advanced, Minimally Invasive Weight Loss Surgery
A Compassionate Approach to Lasting Weight Loss in Visakhapatnam
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a medical solution for people who are struggling with obesity and have not seen results from diet or exercise alone. It helps with significant, long-term weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach or limiting food absorption. At A1 Laparoscopy Hospital, we offer advanced laparoscopic bariatric procedures that are safe, minimally invasive, and highly effective.
Is Bariatric Surgery Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if:
Your BMI is above 35
You have obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, PCOS, or joint pain
You’ve tried diet, exercise, or medication without lasting results
You’re ready to commit to a healthier lifestyle with medical guidance
The goal isn’t just cosmetic — it’s about improving your health, mobility, and quality of life.
Types of Bariatric Surgery We Offer
We specialize in safe, keyhole (laparoscopic) procedures, including:
1. Sleeve Gastrectomy
A portion of the stomach is removed, reducing hunger and food intake.
2. Gastric Bypass Surgery
The stomach is divided and re-routed to reduce calorie absorption.
3. Mini Gastric Bypass
A simplified version of the traditional bypass, with similar results and fewer risks.
Our team will recommend the right procedure based on your health goals and body condition.
