Obesity is a complex, clinical disorder with many contributing causes and factors. The condition is often associated with a wide range of medical problems, including high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, sleep apnoea, depression, and arthritis. For many patients who are severely overweight, surgical treatment is the only proven method that will help them achieve the long-term weight control required to improve their overall health and enable them to perform normal activities.

At Khetarpal Hospital, we take all steps necessary to ensure that the patient care and comfort takes precedence over everything else. We aim to deliver total patient care in an ethical and open environment. Patients with morbid obesity are assessed by a multidisciplinary team representing the fields of nutrition, psychiatry, medicine and surgery, and perform a thorough physical examination and investigations.

Bariatrics is the field of medicine that specializes in treating obesity. Bariatric surgery is the term for operations to help promote weight loss. Bariatric surgical procedures are only considered for people with severe obesity and not for individuals with a mild weight problem and who are overweight.
