Bariatric Surgery
Weight loss surgery has become quite common now-a- days. But let’s understand what weight loss surgery is and how it can help you to achieve your weight loss goals. Bariatric/Metabolic surgery is also named as weight loss surgery in Punjab, India.
Bariatric surgery is a procedure that involves restyling/tailoring your stomach or small intestine to limit the amount of food you consume, and to reduce the consumption of nutrients. Bariatric and metabolic surgery bring about various hormonal changes which reduce excessive cravings and improve satisfaction of eating and treat the root cause of formation of fat and its deposition in the body.
Bariatric surgery is a recognized and accepted approach for weight-loss surgery. However, not all people affected by severe obesity will qualify for bariatric surgery. A person has to comply certain criteria to be eligible for bariatric surgery. Bariatric surgery when combined with fitness habits, healthy diet and nutritional supplements helps you to achieve and maintain weight loss goals.
Thus, Bariatric surgery helps decrease the risks associated with obesity through a substantial reduction in excess weight that is maintained over the long term. Ckosmic Surgical Center is the No.1 Bariatric Surgery Hospital in Punjab, India

How Bariatric Surgery is more Successful
Planning for a surgery
The first appointment is like an initial assessment wherein we check your BMI and take a detailed medical and dietary history. Whether you want to lose 5 kgs or 30 kgs or more we examine what you really need. The first step to doing this is by running blood tests to rule out any medical condition and nutritional deficiencies. Post this assessment we offer you the best solution for your problem. Here at Ckosmic we offer a wide variety of services. From surgical weight loss to non-surgical weight loss options like personalized weight management programs to E-diets to meal planning and nutritional counselling to intragastric balloon treatment.
Role of Nutritionist
Weight Management Program:
- Nutrition is what gives us the raw materials for recuperation, energy and growth. Without a balanced diet your dreams of achieving ideal body will never be reached.
- This program is a safe and effective weight loss program which helps to keep the weight off over a long period through food education and life style.
- As part of the program you need to come for regular follow up with our nutritionist who will monitor your progress in terms of body fat % and muscle mass.
We also provide medical nutrition therapy to help individuals manage chronic conditions like diabetes, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, kidney diseases, PCOD etc and promote wellness. Our nutritionist evaluates your diet and lifestyle. Once we have a realistic picture of your health, our nutritionist will prescribe a food plan than can seamlessly fit into your routine.
At Ckosmic, we believe in a medically sound, sustainable and holistic approach that is tailored for each patient. We don’t just help you lose weight when you are with us. We give the tools and understanding your need to keep losing weight and stay fit when you are on your own. Regular follow up is the key to your weight loss goal after bariatric surgery. After surgery, you are expected to meet the doctor and the team at least 3 times in the first year with your reports and once every year thereafter. There are many changes pertaining to your lifestyle, dietary habits, exercise schedule etc that need constant support and counselling. It has been seen that patients who follow up regularly tend to get better results.
