Bariatric Surgery Procedures We Offer
Bariatric surgery includes a range of procedures designed to support meaningful weight loss and improve health conditions associated with excess weight. Dr. Abhinav Sengar evaluates each patient’s health, weight history, and treatment goals before recommending the most appropriate procedure.
Bariatric Surgery
A group of weight-loss procedures that help reduce excess weight and support lasting improvements in overall health.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
Reduces the size of the stomach to limit food intake and help promote sustainable weight loss.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Reshapes the digestive pathway to reduce food intake and calorie absorption, supporting significant weight loss
What Is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a set of surgical procedures that help the body manage weight by changing how the stomach and digestive system process food. It is generally considered when non-surgical methods, sustained dietary changes, exercise, and medical weight management, have not produced lasting results.
These procedures work in two main ways: reducing the stomach’s capacity so a person feels full sooner, and in some cases altering how food is digested and absorbed. The goal is not just weight loss, but improvement in weight-related health conditions.
Who Is a Candidate? (BMI & Eligibility Criteria)
Candidacy for bariatric surgery is typically assessed using Body Mass Index (BMI) along with a review of overall health and any existing weight-related conditions. Generally, candidates fall into one of these groups:
- Individuals with a significantly high BMI where weight is affecting daily health
- Individuals with a moderately high BMI who also have conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
- Patients who have tried structured diet and exercise programs without lasting success
Every case is different. Dr. Abhinav Sengar evaluates each patient individually before recommending a specific procedure.
Health Conditions Bariatric Surgery Can Improve
Beyond weight loss, patients often see improvement in conditions linked to excess weight, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, joint strain, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease. Improvement varies by individual and is discussed in detail during consultation.
Bariatric Surgery Procedures
Dr. Abhinav Sengar performs the following bariatric and metabolic procedures at Tulip Hospital, Kanpur, based on a patient’s health profile and goals.
Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
Sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving a narrow, sleeve-shaped section. This restricts how much food the stomach can hold and reduces hunger-related hormone production. It is one of the more commonly performed weight loss procedures because of its relatively simpler recovery compared to bypass surgery.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes part of the small intestine, limiting both the amount of food eaten and the calories absorbed. It is often recommended for patients with a higher BMI or those with conditions like type 2 diabetes, as it can have a strong metabolic effect alongside weight loss.
Metabolic Surgery
Metabolic surgery refers to procedures performed with a specific focus on improving obesity-related metabolic conditions, particularly type 2 diabetes, even in patients who may not meet the highest BMI thresholds. Dr. Abhinav Sengar assesses whether a metabolic approach is appropriate based on a patient’s blood sugar history and overall metabolic health.
Understanding Bariatric Surgery Cost in Kanpur
One of the most common questions patients ask is about the cost of bariatric surgery. Because the right procedure, hospital stay, and post-operative care plan differ from patient to patient, Tulip Hospital does not publish a fixed price. Instead, Dr. Abhinav Sengar provides a personalized cost estimate after a detailed evaluation, so you know exactly what to expect before committing to a procedure.
Factors That Affect the Cost
- The specific procedure recommended (sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, or metabolic surgery)
- Pre-surgery tests and evaluations required
- Length of hospital stay
- Any additional health conditions that need to be managed alongside surgery
- Post-operative follow-up and dietary counselling included in the care plan
Why Cost Varies Person to Person
Two patients considering the same procedure can have very different care needs depending on their weight, existing health conditions, and how their body responds to pre-surgery evaluation. This is why an accurate cost figure can only be given after a proper consultation, rather than a generic number quoted online.
Is Bariatric Surgery Safe? Addressing Common Fears
It is natural to feel apprehensive before any surgical procedure. Bariatric surgery in India is performed using well-established laparoscopic techniques that are widely practiced and taught within gastro surgery training. As with any surgery, there are risks, which Dr. Abhinav Sengar discusses openly during consultation, along with how they are minimized through careful patient selection, pre-surgery evaluation, and post-operative monitoring.
Rather than relying on general reassurances, patients are encouraged to ask specific questions about their own case, including their individual risk factors, so they can make a fully informed decision.

Your Treatment Journey - From Consultation to Recovery
Pre-Surgery Evaluation
The process begins with a detailed consultation covering medical history, current health conditions, and weight history. This is followed by diagnostic tests to assess overall fitness for surgery and to help determine which procedure is most suitable.
The Procedure Day
Bariatric procedures are typically performed using laparoscopic (minimally invasive) techniques, which generally involve smaller incisions and a shorter hospital stay compared to open surgery. The exact duration and approach depend on the specific procedure and patient’s condition.
Recovery Timeline
Initial recovery in the hospital is followed by a structured recovery period at home, during which patients gradually return to normal activity under medical guidance. Dietary changes are introduced in stages, starting with liquids and slowly progressing to solid foods, as advised by the care team.
Life After Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a starting point, not a one-time fix. Long-term success depends on following the dietary guidance, activity recommendations, and follow-up schedule provided by Dr. Abhinav Sengar’s team. Many patients also work alongside nutritional guidance to build habits that support lasting results.
