Obesity is not just a cosmetic concern—it is a serious medical condition linked to life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and respiratory disorders.

At Delhi Heart & Lung Institute, we provide advanced bariatric and metabolic surgery programs designed to help patients achieve sustainable weight loss, improved health, and a better quality of life.

Our program integrates expert surgeons, physicians, nutritionists, and rehabilitation specialists to deliver complete care—from consultation to long-term follow-up.

Understanding Obesity & Its Health Risks

Obesity significantly increases the risk of:

  • Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
  • Coronary Artery Disease
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • Fatty Liver Disease
  • Joint Disorders & Arthritis
  • Infertility and Hormonal Imbalance

If left untreated, obesity can reduce life expectancy and impact overall well-being.

What is Bariatric (Metabolic) Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is a clinically proven treatment for obesity and metabolic disorders. These procedures work by:

  • Restricting food intake
  • Reducing calorie absorption
  • Altering gut hormones to control hunger and improve metabolism

Beyond weight loss, bariatric surgery plays a critical role in diabetes remission and cardiovascular risk reduction.
