Am I a Good Candidate?
Good candidates for SILS are people who are obese and suffer from health problems that are related to obesity, such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. They should have attempted to lose weight through natural means in the last year or so but have experienced limited success. Patients need to be in good enough health to undergo a weight loss procedure without suffering an adverse health condition.
How is Single Incision Bariatric Surgery done?
The procedure is done laparoscopically. A single incision is made on the abdomen to pass the instruments into the abdomen and remove the stomach tissue.
There is only one bariatric surgery scar near the patient’s belly button resulting from this small incision.
What is the Recovery after Single Incision Bariatric Surgery like?
It is a simple and short procedure that only requires a day's care. The patient suffers very little or almost no pain and has a very good recovery rate. Since the recovery is fast, the patient can resume normal activities and work soon. 1-2 days of the recovery period is needed after SILS.
What Results Can I Expect from Single Incision Bariatric Surgery?
SILS has excellent results. Patients who experienced SILS are happier in terms of cosmetic results, shorter hospital stay, and pain perception.

My son had a gastric sleeve in Delhi last September 2017. A year later my son is a different young man. Our reason for traveling from Australia was his age is 14. You saved my son's life and I will be forever grateful for that, the care and service were immaculate. yes, it can be a culture shock, in another country. But it, not any less of what we would have received here.
Thank you.

Dr. Ruchika in India delivered efficient and professional service from the outset, matching up my weight and health concerns with the most amazing surgeon at the Apollo Spectra hospital in New Delhi, who made good all the promises that had been made, and MORE. All arrangements were executed seamlessly. Very glad I found them and will certainly be using them again, should the need arise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Single Incision Bariatric Surgery is major surgery, however, it is usually very safe if performed by a well-trained and experienced bariatric surgeon at a well-equipped medical facility. The procedure involves lifestyle changes which include dietary and regime changes.
The procedure is done laparoscopically whereby 4-5 small incisions are given and thus has relatively shorter downtime than open surgery.
All surgeries have some degree of pain involved. You may experience moderate amounts of pain after a Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery, however, each patient has individual levels of pain tolerance. You may have some discomfort at the incision site or as a result of how your body was positioned during the procedure.
If your pain stops you from moving, let your doctor know. Oral drugs are used to treat pain, and they function best when taken regularly, maintaining a consistent amount of medication in the bloodstream keeps pain well under control.
Yes, though there is scarring after a Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery, however, the scars are quite small. Since Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery is performed laparoscopically, where tiny incisions in the range of 0.5-1.5cm are given, the scars also are very small.
Any Laparoscopic surgery has a faster recovery and relatively shorter downtime as compared to open surgery. Stay at the hospital after a Laparoscopic Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery is generally 2-3 days and most patients return to normal activities within 3 to 5 weeks.
Yes, Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery can be reversed, however, reversing it would necessitate a procedure of equal or even higher magnitude. It is a complex procedure not commonly performed.
Dumping syndrome, also known as Rapid gastric emptying, occurs when food, particularly sugar, passes too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine.
The common signs and symptoms of dumping syndrome include abdominal cramping and diarrhea. Most persons with dumping syndrome experience these symptoms 10 to 30 minutes after eating. Some people even have symptoms one to three hours after eating, while others experience both early and late effects.
Though not everyone, a large number of patients face dumping syndrome at some stage after a Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery. The signs and symptoms might be mild to modest. Poor eating choices are the most common cause of dumping and can be controlled by making dietary changes.
Modifying your diet after surgery can help prevent dumping syndrome. Taking smaller meals and a reduction in high-sugar foods are the most effective ways of avoiding dumping syndrome. The other measures that can be taken include avoiding liquids around 30 minutes before and after surgery, choosing complex carbohydrates over simple carbohydrates, having a high protein diet, etc.
You may need medicine or surgery if you have a more significant case of dumping syndrome.
Single Incision Bariatric Surgery is a very effective weight loss surgery procedure and gives excellent long-term results, however, a lot of it also depends on the patient's compliance, age, BMI, overall health, etc.
Statistics have suggested that most individuals lose weight quickly after surgery and continue to do so for another 18 to 24 months. Patients may lose 30 to 50 percent of their excess weight in the first six months after surgery, and 77-80% percent of their excess weight as early as 12 months.
Studies have also shown that individuals might sustain a 60-70% weight decrease 10 to 14 years following Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery. The other major benefits of Single Incision Bariatric Surgery surgery are the resolution of comorbid conditions like Diabetes, Hypertension, Respiratory problems, sleep apnea, etc.

Both of us were very pleased with the professional care provided to us from the first email to enquiry to the moment we stepped foot in India. We have never received such wonderful hospitality and always attending to our needs. We would both certainly recommend Indicure for any treatments and/or surgeries. We have been utterly amazed at what India has to offer and will definitely visit again.

Thank you IniCure Health Team for all the support you provided my father. You deserve 6 stars for customer service. Your team was instrumental in selling up my Dad with Dr. Babu and other healthcare team. Your Professionalism is exceptional. You responded to my all concerns within 24 hours; you reassured me everything would be okay when I needed it the most; you showed compassion that I have never seen before. Dr. Babu successfully operated my Dad and we are so grateful for that.

The IndiCure folks (Jagruti) hooked me up with THE BEST doctors for my heart issues. Period. The Physicians were thorough, professional, fast, proficient and affordable. Dealing with Indicure was super easy, super fast and a very pleasant experience. I HIGHLY recommend this process for those with no insurance or those who cannot afford the 20% co-pay for expensive procedures. Check the cost against prices in the USA folks.
