Presentation
A patient with severe obesity, type-2 diabetes on rising medication, high blood pressure and sleep apnoea, after years of failed diets.
Investigations
A full metabolic work-up confirmed candidacy for bariatric surgery and set a personalised plan.
Operative Findings
Weight-related disease was advancing despite best medical effort — a clear indication for metabolic surgery.
Surgical Strategy
A laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy was chosen for strong, durable results with a straightforward recovery, plus structured aftercare.
The Procedure
The sleeve was created by key-hole surgery, reshaping the stomach to reduce hunger hormones and intake.
Outcome
Significant, sustained weight loss followed; type-2 diabetes went into remission with medication greatly reduced.
Follow-up
Ongoing nutrition and metabolic follow-up to keep results durable. Sleeve gastrectomy and bariatric surgery for diabetes remission is available with Dr. Avinash Tank at Dwarika Hospital, Ahmedabad — book a consultation to discuss your options.
For the right patient, bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment for severe obesity — and can reverse type-2 diabetes.
