Weight Loss Surgery in Lahore

Weight loss surgery covers the procedures that help patients with obesity lose weight when other methods have not worked. Dr. Shehryar Niazi offers these surgeries by keyhole and robotic methods at his Lahore and Bhakkar clinics.

Who qualifies for bariatric surgery

Surgery is generally considered when BMI stays above 35 despite serious attempts at diet and exercise, or above 30 when type 2 diabetes or another weight related condition is present. It is a treatment for the disease of obesity, not a shortcut. At the Lahore clinic every candidate goes through assessment of their weight history, sugar control, heart and lung fitness and eating pattern before any date is booked.

Dr. Shehryar Niazi has performed thousands of bariatric procedures within his 27,000 plus laparoscopic case volume, and he also trains other surgeons in these techniques.

Choosing between sleeve, bypass and mini bypass

No single operation suits everyone. A sleeve gastrectomy reduces stomach size and appetite. A gastric bypass adds a rerouting step that helps most with reflux and diabetes. The mini bypass sits between the two in complexity. Severe reflux, previous stomach surgery and the amount of weight to lose all push the choice one way or another. The right answer comes out of your consultation at Farooq Hospital DHA, not a website comparison table.

Life after the operation

The operation is one day; the follow up is where results are made. Patients leave with a staged diet plan, vitamin protocol and review schedule. Being in Lahore helps here: reviews at the DHA clinic are easy to reach from most of the city, and the team stays available on the clinic number between visits.

Frequently asked questions

Who is a candidate for weight loss surgery?

Weight loss surgery is generally considered for adults with a high body mass index or with obesity linked health problems when diet and exercise have not brought enough change. Dr. Shehryar Niazi assesses each person before advising any procedure.

Is weight loss surgery done by keyhole methods?

Yes. Most weight loss procedures are done laparoscopically through a few small cuts, and some cases are suited to robotic surgery. This approach usually means less pain and a quicker return home than open surgery.
