Dr. Apurva Vyas offers a comprehensive range of surgical and non-surgical treatments tailored to each patient’s BMI, health profile, and weight loss goals:

Minimally Invasive & Surgical Bariatric Procedures: Laparoscopic & Robotic Gastric Sleeve, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB/OAGB), Single-Port Bariatric Surgery, Duodenal Switch, and Revisional Bariatric Surgery.

Can bariatric surgery performed by Dr. Apurva Vyas reverse Type 2 Diabetes?

Yes. Metabolic and bariatric surgeries alter gastrointestinal hormone secretion (such as increasing GLP-1 levels), which significantly improves insulin sensitivity and glycemic control. Many patients with Type 2 Diabetes experience clinical remission within days to weeks following surgery, often reducing or completely eliminating their dependence on diabetic medications and insulin under medical supervision.

How do I know if I am a candidate for weight loss surgery during initial consultation with Dr. Apurva Vyas?

Candidates for bariatric surgery typically include individuals who:

Have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or higher.
Have a BMI between 30 and 35 accompanied by obesity-related health conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, severe hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, or fatty liver disease.
Have been unable to achieve sustainable long-term weight loss through diet and exercise alone.

During your initial consultation at Ansh Obecure, Dr. Apurva Vyas conducts a detailed clinical evaluation, blood work, and health assessment to determine the safest and most effective procedure for you.
