Bariatricians in Ahmedabad

Bariatricians are doctors who specialize in the treatment of obesity and other disorders associated with this condition. When they perform weight loss surgical procedures, they are known as bariatric surgeons.

From morbid obesity to overweight, bariatricians are consulted by patients who want to lose weight and wish to have an optimal body weight.

The bariatrician helps an individual to lose weight by assessing his/her present weight condition, associated obesity-related conditions and other factors before recommending appropriate measures including referral to a bariatric surgeon, in case of surgery.

Bariatricians can also provide medical assistance for health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and more.
