Sir you need to remember that bariatric surgery for weight loss is only a part of the programme and not an end in itself. U have to adhere to your diet plan and exercise regimen even if you have undergone surgery. Surgery gives you a headstart to resolve your issues. But if you don't adhere to the diet plan or get back to your usual lifestyle. It wl never work out. One must understand that patients who undergo this procedure have obesity. Which is a big health hazard anyway but the decision to perform this surgery is only undertaken after a careful evaluation of your risk vs benefit profile. The safety profile of this procedure in our country is good nd despite some negative results. The safety profile in good centres is probably as good as gallbladder surgery. Also you must understand that thevgreater the wt and comorbidities, the higher is the surgical nd anaesthetic risk. But if such a patient does not embark upon the bariatric journey. He/she is still at a 200% risk of premature mortality anyway. This procedure has a high level of success depending upon the patient, the procedure selected and the surgeon.
