When is bariatric surgery justified?
Surgery is prescribed only when clear criteria are met
The role of body mass index (BMI)
BMI is the main tool for assessing the degree of obesity. It is calculated by dividing body weight (kg) by height squared (m²). Surgery is usually justified with a BMI above 40, or above 35 with serious related conditions. In some cases surgery is considered at lower values too — if non-surgical approaches have failed.
Key factors
- The patient's body mass index (BMI)
- Overall health and any related chronic conditions
- No success with earlier tries to slim down by usual means
Why don't diets and exercise work for everyone?
Many spend years on diets and exercise, and the body fights them all the way: metabolism slows, appetite grows, the lost kilos come back. As soon as it is clear that medication and diet changes alone cannot fundamentally improve the situation, bariatric surgery is the only effective way out.

Bariatric surgery methods at City Medical Centre
Sleeve gastrectomy
During surgery the surgeon removes most of the stomach, turning it into a narrow tube. This greatly reduces portion size and lowers ghrelin, the hunger hormone, so the patient feels full much faster and eats less.
Effectiveness: the method fits a BMI between 35 and 45. Average loss is 60–70% of excess weight.
Specifics: durability is lower than with bypass operations. If the diet slips, especially with high-calorie drinks and liquid food, lost weight may come back.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Using the top of the stomach, the surgeon creates a small 50–70 ml pouch joined directly to the small intestine. This limits intake and reduces the calories absorbed by cutting short the journey of food through the gut.
Effectiveness: for a BMI over 45–50 with type 2 diabetes it is deemed the “gold standard”. Loss of excess weight is 75–85%.
Specifics: outcomes are more durable than with other bariatric procedures. Diabetes, hypertension and other related conditions often go into remission. With the digestive anatomy changed, lifelong vitamin and mineral supplements are a must.
Mini gastric bypass (MGB)
It is an improved variant of the classic bypass. Unlike the standard method, here the surgeon forms only one connection (anastomosis) linking the small stomach to the small intestine. The simpler technique is less demanding and needs less recovery time.
Effectiveness: matches the classic Roux-en-Y bypass — patients' excess weight loss is up to 75–80%.
Specifics: shorter operating time and faster recovery. Though technically reversible, it carries a risk of bile reflux due to the single anastomosis.
Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI-S)
SADI-S is a modern combined technique that unites the benefits of sleeve gastrectomy and intestinal bypass. It is done in two stages: first the stomach is turned into a narrow tube, then the small intestine is rerouted so that most of it is excluded from active digestion.
Effectiveness: one of the most powerful options in bariatric surgery: excess weight loss of 80–90%, lasting a long time.
Specifics: with the ghrelin-producing zone removed, the smaller stomach reduces appetite; redirecting food past part of the intestine limits calorie uptake. Used for super obesity (BMI over 50), severe type 2 diabetes, or as a second stage when a sleeve was ineffective.

City Medical Centre bariatric surgery centre
— your path
to confidence and harmony
City Medical Centre treats obesity comprehensively. Following the first examination, every patient receives a personal diagnostic program (lab and instrumental) to detect every disorder in the body.
A method matched to your goal
Choosing the surgical method is individual for each patient at our clinic. Doctors first review your health, history of weight and related conditions and then propose the most suitable surgical option.
Support that stays in touch
City Medical Centre's team remains with you after surgery. Over the first year specialists watch your weight loss, monitor test results and respond to all questions regarding diet and recovery.
Fast recovery
City Medical Centre's bariatric operations are laparoscopic, so recovery is much shorter. On day one most patients are already up and moving, and within a week they return to normal life.
Full diagnostics on site
Forget going between clinics. Everything for your work-up is here, including our own lab, ultrasound and gastroscopy. Preparation is quick and queue-free, all in a single building.
Recovery after bariatric surgery
The pace of recovery is largely personal, but minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques shorten rehabilitation as much as possible.
Duration
The patient remains under observation at the clinic for 1 to 5 days, depending on the scope of surgery and related conditions.
Activity
In the first hours after the operation you can sit up, stand and drink fluids.
Wound care
Absorbable sutures are used; they dissolve on their own.
Work
7–14 days after surgery you can return to work, depending on how physical the job is.
Restrictions
No bathhouse, sauna or intense physical exercise during the first weeks.
Diet
A step-by-step diet lasts 1–2 months, from liquids to solids, giving the stomach time to adapt.
Pace
Average monthly loss is 10% of excess weight for patients following the specialists' advice.
Stabilization
Reaching the final result takes 1.5–2 years. The patient has by then built steady eating habits that prevent weight from returning.
Important! City Medical Centre specialists keep recovery under supervision and give psychological and medical support at every stage of losing weight.

Frequently asked questions
about bariatric surgery at CMC
Bariatric vs plastic surgery: what's the difference?
People often confuse these two, though their aims are fundamentally different. Bariatric surgery is medical treatment of obesity and associated diseases. It changes the way the digestive tract works, acting on the causes of excess weight and on metabolism. Plastic surgery alters outer body contours and does not treat obesity or affect metabolism.
How soon can I return to work and normal life?
Will there be visible scars?
We use modern laparoscopic technique. The operation is done through 4 small punctures of 5 to 15 mm. Cosmetic sutures are placed, so once healed the marks become almost invisible.
What diet do I need to follow?
Your diet changes in stages: from liquid food to soft, then to solid. The focus is on protein and on limiting high-calorie, fatty food.
What types of bariatric surgery are there?
The four main types of bariatric surgery at City Medical Centre are sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass (MGB) and SADI-S duodeno-ileal bypass. Each method is matched individually to BMI, related conditions and the patient's goals.
Can I plan a pregnancy after surgery?
After bariatric surgery pregnancy is possible, yet doctors recommend at least 12–18 months of waiting. Meanwhile the body stabilizes, weight arrives at target values and nutritional status normalizes.
Do I need to take vitamins after surgery?
Yes, vitamins after bariatric surgery are necessary. The body absorbs certain nutrients less well due to the changed digestive anatomy, so regular vitamin and mineral supplements become a permanent part of the patient's life.
Can the weight come back?
Regaining weight after bariatric surgery is possible, yet very unlikely when you stick to the doctor's advice. The keys are proper nutrition, no high-calorie drinks and regular check-ups with City Medical Centre specialists.

Weight loss surgery in Navi Mumbai step by step
SADI-S combines a sleeve with intestinal bypass in two stages and is one of the most powerful bariatric operations, with 80–90% excess weight loss and a long-lasting result. It suits super obesity with a BMI over 50, severe type 2 diabetes, or a second stage after an ineffective sleeve. Anyone in Navi Mumbai in these situations can discuss it at a consultation.
Eating changes in stages. A staged diet lasts 1–2 months, moving from liquid to soft to solid food so the stomach can adapt, with the focus on protein and limited high-calorie, fatty dishes. Following specialist advice, patients lose on average 10% of excess weight per month. Those from Navi Mumbai build stable eating habits that keep the weight from returning.
What sets this programme apart is a result guarantee written into an official contract: weight loss is fixed legally, not just in words. Surgeons have 9–11 years in the field and work as a permanent team. Navi Mumbai residents can tick the situations that sound familiar on the page and then check their case for free with a surgeon.
