What is the success rate of obesity surgery in India?

Obesity surgery in India is an increasingly popular approach to treating obesity and its associated health risks. According to the Obesity Surgery Society of India (OSSI), bariatric surgery performed in accredited surgical centres across India has a success rate of 80-90%. This success rate is consistent with international studies examining the efficacy of obesity surgeries.

In a study conducted by OSSI, more than 8,000 patients who underwent bariatric procedures from 2015-2019 were examined for long-term outcomes such as weight loss percentage and resolution or improvement of co-morbidities like diabetes, hypertension etc. Results showed that 93?hieved successful weight loss at 6 months post procedure, 86% at 12 months post procedure and 79$ months post procedure. In addition, many participants saw improvements or complete resolution in their existing health issues such as Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia due to their sustained healthier lifestyle following surgery.

Overall, research shows that obesity surgery can be an effective way of achieving long lasting weight loss when combined with lifestyle modifications such as dieting and exercise; it also has the potential to improve multiple chronic conditions related to obesity if proper aftercare is taken into consideration. Therefore it is important for individuals considering this option to take into consideration all factors before making a decision on any kind of surgical intervention.
