What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery includes a family of minimally invasive procedures that reduce stomach size and/or alter digestion to support significant, sustainable weight loss. These operations can also improve obesity‑related conditions such as Type 2 diabetes and hypertension. We tailor each plan to your goals and medical history.
-
Minimally invasive Small incisions, typically faster recovery and less discomfort.
-
Metabolic benefits Many patients see improvements in Type 2 diabetes control.
-
Long‑term results Structured follow‑up, nutrition guidance, and lifestyle support.

Gastric Bypass
Roux‑en‑Y Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) is a highly effective bariatric surgery that combines two mechanisms for significant weight loss:
Restriction: Mumbai’s best bariatric surgeon Dr. Abhay Agrawal will use surgical staplers to create a small, egg-sized pouch at the top of the stomach. This drastically limits food intake, helping you feel full and satisfied after eating very small portions.
Malabsorption: Mumbai’s best bariatric surgeon Dr. Abhay Agrawal then reroutes the digestive system by connecting this new pouch directly to a lower part of the small intestine. This bypasses a large section of the stomach and the first part of the intestine (duodenum), delaying the mixing of food with digestive enzymes. As a result, the body absorbs fewer calories.
This dual approach makes Roux-en-Y gastric bypass a powerful tool for sustainable weight loss, performed by Mumbai’s best bariatric surgeon Dr. Abhay Agrawal.
Best suited for: patients seeking dramatic weight loss and improvement in obesity‑related conditions.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
The Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy, often called the “Gastric Sleeve,” is a highly effective bariatric surgery performed by expert bariatric surgeon in Mumbai, Dr Abhay Agrawal. This procedure focuses primarily on restriction:
Using a laparoscopic approach, bariatric surgeon Dr. Abhay Agrawal removes approximately 70-80% of the stomach, shaping the remainder into a narrow “sleeve” or tube resembling a banana. This new, smaller stomach significantly reduces your food capacity, leading to a feeling of fullness after small meals.
Best suited for: patients prioritising a minimally invasive option and steady, sustained weight loss.
Mini Gastric Bypass
One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB)
The One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB), also known as Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB), is an effective bariatric surgery that combines restriction and malabsorption. Performed by Dr. Abhay Agrawal, a skilled bariatric surgeon in Mumbai, this procedure offers a simpler alternative to the traditional gastric bypass.
Your Bariatric surgeon Dr. Abhay Agrawal, will first create a long, narrow stomach pouch using a surgical stapler. This restricts the volume of food you can consume, promoting a feeling of fullness with small meals.
Next, a loop of the small intestine is connected directly to this new stomach pouch. This bypasses a significant portion of the intestine, delaying the mixing of food with digestive juices. The result is reduced and delayed absorption of calories, enhancing weight loss.
Best suited for: patients seeking robust outcomes with potentially fewer incisions.
Revision Bariatric
Return to Success When Results Plateau
If a prior weight‑loss surgery hasn’t met expectations due to complications or limited progress, a personalised revision can help you safely regain momentum toward your goals.
Best suited for: individuals with insufficient results or specific post‑surgical issues.
Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)
Non‑surgical, No Incisions
ESG reduces stomach volume using an endoscope placed through the mouth—no external cuts. Many patients appreciate the minimal discomfort and quick return to daily activities.
Best suited for: those seeking a non‑incisional option with meaningful weight‑loss support.
Bariatric Surgery for Diabetes
Surgical Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in Obese / Non-Obese Patients
This procedure can be done for persons who have Type 2 Diabetes, who are on oral drugs & or insulin. This procedure will be useful if the C-Peptide blood test is more than one. The HBA1c test gives a person an indication of poor control if level is more than eight. Complications of diabetes will be arrested unless the organ damage has already progressed to a point of no return.
Best suited for: individuals with obesity and T2DM seeking comprehensive metabolic care.
Sleeve‑Plus (SASJ)
Enhanced Outcomes with Tailored Technique
Combines the benefits of a sleeve with a single anastomosis sleeve‑jejunal bypass to add a mild malabsorptive effect. Designed to maximise weight loss and metabolic results while prioritising safety and long‑term follow‑up.
Best suited for: select patients needing an advanced strategy for metabolic disease.
