At the Max Institute of Minimal Access, Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, 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.
There are many detrimental health effects of obesity with an increased risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, gall bladder disease, asthma, obstructive sleep apnoea, chronic musculoskeletal problems, polycystic ovary syndrome, impaired fertility, psychosocial problem as well as some forms of cancer.
