Before recommending bariatric surgery, the surgeon conducts a comprehensive medical evaluation to assess the patient’s overall health, obesity-related conditions, and suitability for surgery. A multidisciplinary team approach is typically followed, involving a bariatric surgeon, dietitian, psychologist, and other specialists as required.

Several bariatric surgery options are available, and the choice of procedure depends on the patient’s BMI, health conditions, lifestyle, and surgical goals. All procedures at Pristyn Care are performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive) by experienced bariatric surgeons.
