Obesity surgery

At Narsaiah Laparoscopy, we believe in helping individuals lose weight, not hope.

Obesity — defined as a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 25 — and morbid obesity (BMI over 35) are not just cosmetic concerns; they are serious medical conditions affecting physical, mental, and social well-being.

In fact, morbid obesity is often called the Mother of Many Diseases (MOMD) — increasing the risk of diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, infertility, joint problems, liver disorders, certain cancers, and more.

Bariatric (Obesity) Surgery, also known as Metabolic Surgery, is a scientifically proven medical treatment that not only helps achieve sustainable weight loss but also reverses many obesity-related health issues.

It is a life-saving intervention, not merely a cosmetic choice.
