Weight Loss Surgery
In Bangalore
Being overweight is not easy to live with. It draws down the quality of life, limits mobility, causes serious problems in a person's social life and can be one of the factors by which a person is judged. Obesity also leads to many health conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Arthritis, Sleep Apnea, Infertility, PCOS, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure, Cancers, Hepatitis and Cirrhosis.
Dr. Tulip's Obesity & Diabetes Surgery Centre works on giving people living with severe obesity hope, through treatment that helps them bounce back into society and live a happy, productive, normal life.
What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that leads to a successful long-term weight loss solution. The surgery is done through tiny keyholes on the tummy, requiring 2 to 3 days of hospital stay. The scars after the surgery are minimal and the healing process is quick. It is usually considered after other attempts such as dieting, exercise, gym and aerobics have not achieved lasting results.
Bariatric surgery could be restrictive, malabsorptive, or a combination of the two. Standard restrictive procedures are the gastric band and the sleeve gastrectomy. A combination of restriction and malabsorption is the gastric bypass and the mini gastric bypass.
What does the centre focus on?
TODS is a centre par excellence for long-term weight loss solutions and diabetes remission, one of its kind in South India dedicated to the care of two of India's most pressing health issues, diabetes and obesity. The goal is precision care, which is possible because the focus is only on diabetes and obesity surgery, with more than 2,500 procedures completed and expertise built along the way.

Before and After Surgery
Real TODS Patients
Weight loss after bariatric surgery is gradual and depends on the procedure performed, the patient's starting point, and how closely the post-operative nutrition and follow-up plan is followed.

An important distinction
This Isn't Cosmetic Surgery
Many people mistake bariatric surgery for cosmetic surgery, but it is not. The significant benefit of bariatric surgery is that it helps a person lose weight and also helps address associated problems such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity-related infertility, obesity-related knee pain and obstructive sleep apnea.
It is metabolic surgery, planned around a person's health rather than their appearance, which is why every case at TODS starts with an assessment rather than a procedure.
More Than Weight Loss
Conditions Bariatric Surgery Can Help Address
Alongside weight loss, bariatric and metabolic surgery is used to help address a number of obesity-related conditions. Which of these applies in any individual case is established at consultation.
Type 2 Diabetes
The centre's focus extends beyond blood sugar control to diabetes remission, which is why metabolic surgery sits alongside weight loss surgery here.
Hypertension & Cholesterol
High blood pressure and hypercholesterolemia are among the obesity-related conditions bariatric surgery can help improve.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is listed among the comorbidities the centre treats as part of its obesity care pathway.
Fertility & Joint Pain
Obesity-related infertility, PCOS and obesity-related knee pain are also part of what the centre assesses and manages.

Weight Loss Surgery FAQs
Answers From the TODS Team
What exactly is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that leads to a successful long-term weight loss solution. It is performed through tiny keyholes on the tummy and usually requires 2 to 3 days of hospital stay. The scars afterwards are minimal and the healing process is quick.
Procedures can be restrictive, malabsorptive, or a combination of the two. The gastric band and the sleeve gastrectomy are standard restrictive procedures, while the gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass combine restriction and malabsorption.
Is bariatric surgery a form of cosmetic surgery?
No. Many people mistake bariatric surgery for cosmetic surgery, but it is metabolic surgery. Alongside weight loss, it helps address associated problems such as diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity-related infertility, obesity-related knee pain and obstructive sleep apnea.
How long will I be in hospital, and what is recovery like?
The surgery requires 2 to 3 days of hospital stay. Because it is performed laparoscopically through tiny keyholes, scarring is minimal and the healing process is quick. Your surgeon will give you a personal recovery and nutrition plan at your consultation, as this varies with the procedure performed.
Which procedures are available at TODS?
The centre performs the whole spectrum of metabolic surgery, including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, mini gastric bypass and banded sleeve gastrectomy, along with banded gastric bypass, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, gastric balloon procedures, the swallow balloon, ileal interposition and adjustable gastric band surgery.
Which one is appropriate is decided by the surgical team after assessment.
Is there a non-surgical option?
Yes. TODS offers the Swallow Balloon Pill, a non-surgical option carried out as a 20 minute outpatient procedure with no anaesthesia. Whether it is suitable in a particular case is established at consultation.
What happens after surgery? Is there ongoing support?
Yes. The centre provides diligent follow-up even years after surgery, with in-house certified and professional counsellors, sound advice on nutrition and dietary management, and a patient support group. Following this guidance matters, as weight can be regained without it.
What does it cost, and can I use health insurance?
Cost depends on the procedure recommended for you, so it is discussed in full at consultation rather than quoted as a single figure. The centre publishes health insurance guidance for bariatric procedures; whether your policy covers surgery depends on your insurer and the medical criteria they apply. Confirm insurers and criteria
I live outside Bangalore. Can I still be seen?
Yes. TODS offers video consultancy and a Fly For Surgery pathway for patients travelling from other cities and countries. Start with the form on this page or call the centre directly and the team will explain the steps. Confirm current process
