Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a candidate for bariatric surgery?
Generally, candidates have a BMI of 40 or higher, or BMI of 35+ with obesity-related health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. You should have tried diet and exercise without lasting success. A consultation with Dr. Rajesh Kanungo will determine if surgery is right for you.
What is diabetes remission surgery?
Metabolic or diabetes remission surgery can help Type 2 diabetic patients reduce or eliminate their need for diabetes medication. The surgery alters digestive hormones and can lead to significant improvement in blood sugar control, even before major weight loss occurs.
How much weight can I lose after bariatric surgery?
Patients typically lose 50-70% of their excess weight within 12-18 months after surgery. Results vary based on the procedure type and adherence to dietary and lifestyle changes. Long-term success requires commitment to healthy habits.
