BARIATRIC SURGERY ON MORBID OBESITY PATIENT -GIVES NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

 A very challenging & risky bariatric surgery was  conducted by surgeons

of Vikram Hospital, Bengaluru. A 67 year old,short statured (4 feet 5 inches)

weighing 77 Kgs with morbid obesity   was the patient.The condition led to 

several cardiac problems ,knee pain, obstructive sleep apnea,elevated creatinine 

levels & breathing dificulties  as the fat burden pushed against his diaphragm.

All efforts by the patient to reduce his weight were in vain.

Dr.G.Moinoddin,Consultant Bariatric  & Advanced Laparoscopic Surgeon,

Vikram Hospital,Bengaluru, said,"Surgery was the only option to improve

the patient's quality of life  & get relief from other comorbidities.But this 

was considered risky due to the patient's Cardio Pulmonary conditions. If 

left untreated,the condition would have eventually led to cardiac arrest

and death".

The Bariatric surgery was conducted by Dr.G
.Moinoddin & his team.

Dr. Somesh Mittal,MD & CEO,Vikram Hospital said," we are quite

elated at the Successful outcome of the surgery".
