Are you struggling with obesity and finding it impossible to lose weight despite strict diets and exercise? You are not alone. Millions of people across India battle morbid obesity every day, and often, lifestyle changes alone are not enough. If your BMI is above 35–40 and you have obesity-related health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, or joint pain, bariatric surgery (weight loss surgery) in Bathinda could be the life-changing solution you need.
Dr. Raman Garg — Pioneer Surgical Gastroenterologist and Laparoscopic Surgeon at Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute, Bathinda — is one of the most experienced bariatric surgeons in the Malwa region of Punjab. With 20+ years of surgical expertise and over 10,000 successful laparoscopic procedures, Dr. Garg brings world-class weight loss surgery to patients in Bathinda, Mansa, Sangrur, Dabwali, Sirsa, and across Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
Bariatric surgery refers to a group of surgical procedures that help obese individuals lose weight by making changes to their digestive system. These procedures either restrict the amount of food the stomach can hold, reduce nutrient absorption, or both. The result is not just dramatic weight loss — bariatric surgery is clinically proven to resolve or significantly improve type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and joint problems.
All bariatric procedures at Bombay Gastro & Cancer Institute are performed using advanced laparoscopic (keyhole) technique — meaning smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.
Bariatric surgery is generally recommended for patients who meet one or more of the following criteria:
Patients are thoroughly evaluated by Dr. Raman Garg with a comprehensive pre-operative workup including blood tests, cardiac evaluation, sleep study (if needed), and dietary counselling. Surgery is offered only when it is the most appropriate, safest option for the individual patient.
