For Surgeon / Apr 25th, 2023 8:52 am     A+ | a-


Dr. Praveen Bhatia is a highly experienced bariatric surgeon with over 20 years of experience in the field. He has performed thousands of bariatric surgeries, including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and gastric banding, and has a proven track record of achieving successful outcomes for his patients.
 
Dr. Bhatia completed his medical degree at Maulana Azad Medical College in Delhi, India, and went on to complete his residency in general surgery at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences in Delhi. He then completed a fellowship in laparoscopic surgery at the National University Hospital in Singapore, where he gained expertise in minimally invasive surgical techniques.
 
In addition to his extensive clinical experience, Dr. Bhatia is also actively involved in research and education in the field of bariatric surgery. He has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed medical journals and has presented his research at national and international conferences. He is a member of several professional organizations, including the Obesity Surgery Society of India and the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders.

Sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgery that involves removing a portion of the stomach to create a smaller, banana-shaped pouch. While this procedure can be effective, it also carries potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, staple line leaks, strictures, nutritional deficiencies, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Patients who experience a leak require prompt medical attention and may need nutritional support, monitoring, and revision surgery. It's crucial for patients to work closely with an experienced bariatric surgeon, such as Dr. Praveen Bhatiya, to minimize their risk of complications and achieve successful outcomes. Patients should carefully consider the risks and benefits, select an experienced surgeon, and be aware of the need for regular monitoring and follow-up care. Proper education, support, and follow-up care can help ensure long-term weight loss and improved health.
 
In addition to the potential complications discussed earlier, it's important to understand that sleeve gastrectomy is not a one-time solution to weight loss. It's a tool that can help patients achieve weight loss, but it requires a long-term commitment to lifestyle changes, such as healthy eating habits and regular exercise.
 
Furthermore, patients should be aware that the success of sleeve gastrectomy depends on their willingness to make these changes and maintain them over time. While the surgery can help patients lose weight initially, they can regain weight if they do not make the necessary lifestyle changes.
 
Therefore, patients should be prepared to work with a team of healthcare professionals, including their bariatric surgeon, registered dietitian, and mental health professional, to ensure long-term success. This team can help patients make and maintain healthy habits and provide support throughout their weight loss journey.
 
It's also worth noting that sleeve gastrectomy may not be the right choice for everyone struggling with obesity. Patients with certain medical conditions, such as inflammatory bowel disease, severe liver disease, or uncontrolled psychiatric illness, may not be good candidates for the surgery.
 
Moreover, patients who are not willing or able to make the necessary lifestyle changes may not benefit from sleeve gastrectomy. Therefore, it's important to carefully consider the risks and benefits of the surgery, along with your personal health goals and preferences, before making a decision.
 
In conclusion, sleeve gastrectomy is a weight loss surgical procedure that can be effective for people struggling with obesity. However, it's important to be aware of the potential risks and complications, as well as the long-term commitment required for success. By working closely with an experienced bariatric surgeon and a healthcare team, patients can minimize their risk of complications and achieve long-term weight loss and improved health.
