Gastric bypass care is available following individual assessment. Ask for the exact proposed operation, why it is recommended, alternatives and the relevant risks. Indian eligibility guidance considers more than BMI alone.
Dr. Kanungo and the R.K. Hospital team handle nutrition and long-term follow-up. Confirm your care plan, review schedule, contact person and ongoing charges before booking. Patients from another city should confirm appointment availability and discuss follow-up before travelling.
Who can be considered for bariatric surgery in India?
Suitability is assessed using Indian clinical guidance alongside your health, previous treatment and readiness for follow-up. BMI alone does not approve an operation. Dr. Rajesh Kanungo will discuss whether gastric bypass or another treatment is appropriate.
Who handles nutrition and long-term follow-up?
Dr. Rajesh Kanungo handles this care with the R.K. Hospital team. Ask for your individual nutrition plan, review schedule and contact person before discharge.
How much weight will I lose?
Individual results vary. Ask the surgeon to explain realistic goals and monitoring for your proposed procedure; the hospital does not promise a fixed weight-loss percentage.
Does bariatric surgery guarantee a cure for diabetes?
No. Some patients experience improved glucose control or remission. Ongoing medical review is needed, and medicines should only be changed by the treating clinicians.

The hospital provides the facility, admission and appointment information; the surgeon’s website contains the detailed procedure and preparation guides below.
Use this guide to prepare the history for a discussion about weight-loss surgery. Record when the concern began, what has changed and how it affects daily activities. Bring reports and prescriptions already available; you can ask which further tests would help before arranging more investigations.
At the visit, ask what the clinician thinks is most likely and which findings support that view. If the diagnosis remains uncertain, ask how it will be clarified and which changes should prompt earlier assessment. A clear next step is more useful than collecting several possible labels from online searches.
Before leaving, confirm the purpose of each prescribed treatment, the follow-up date and who will communicate results. Keep that plan with your symptom record so a review can compare progress. Tell the clinician if the plan is difficult to follow because of work, costs, side effects or care responsibilities.

The assessment before a treatment decision
A bariatric assessment reviews weight-related illness, nutritional status, anaesthesia risk and the ability to attend follow-up. Eligibility criteria can differ across guidelines and patient groups. A BMI calculator can support the conversation but should not be used to select an operation without clinical advice.
How can I prepare for an assessment of these symptoms?
Bring a symptom timeline, relevant reports, current prescriptions and your main questions. Ask how the diagnosis will be assessed, whether further tests are needed, what follow-up is planned and which changes require earlier care.
