Dr. R. Padmakumar – One of Best Bariatric Surgeons in India

Batriatric Surgery is a weight loss surgery or fat loss surgery for obesity treatment. Bariatric surgery restricts the amount of food intake and also reduces the amount of calories absorbed from the food. Because of the sedentary lifestyle of this century, obesity is highly prevalent in the society. Obesity is a disease and needs to be treated. It puts people at high risk of other chronic medical conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart disease, diabetes, high cholesterol, PCOD etc. Bariatric surgery is no more considered cosmetic surgery, because it has proved to be an effective solution in fat loss for treating obesity.

Hi I am Mareena and I am very happy and satisfied patient of Dr Padmakumar as he has helped me to change myself the exact way I really wanted. I was weighing 105 kg when I did my surgery, and now I am 79 kg. I was suffering from diabetic , hypertension, back pain, PCOD etc… Now l am free from all these things and not taking medicines for anything, only some iron, calcium, and vitamins that’s it. Now I am 99 percent free from that. I have undergone 4 surgeries before for some other health issues.
But my friends let me say you this was the most comfortable and relaxed surgery I had till now and soon recovery and not much rest needed at all. Now you don’t know how much energetic I am in my life. More than that I have become more young than before as I was at the time of my marriage. Now I am 40 yrs. Being like this I feel more confident. Thanks to Dr Padmakumar and his entire team.
I suggest to my friends who are very obese like me before and suffering from diabetic etc can do gastric sleeve without hesitating. At the beginning my husband and family members were not happy to do the surgery. But I decided doing it. Now seeing my change all are happy.
