Obesity and particularly morbid obesity can be a real curse which might not respond to conservative management by medication and lifestyle modification only. Bariatric surgery is often life saving and life changing and the most effective long term treatment for this malady.
Mr. Kaushik Chatterjee, a young man of 32 years weighing around 168 kgs (BMI more than 50), had restricted mobility associated with severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Chronic Liver disease (CLD), Hypothyroid, Lymph Oedema, and depression. He had almost no mobility and had lost the zeal to live. He consulted Dr. Sumanta Dey (Consultant Advanced Laparoscopic, Bariatric and GI Surgeon) at Ruby General Hospital OPD. Opinions of Dr. Anirban Deb (Consultant Pulmonologist), Dr. Soumya Mukherjee (Consultant Haematologist), Dr. Tanmoy Majee (Consultant Cardiologist) and Anaethesiology team (Dr. Dwaipayan Jha, Dr. Ratul Kundu) had also been taken.
The bariatric surgery had been performed laparoscopically on 20/05/2019 for about 2 hours. This surgery had been life saving and life changing for Mr. Chatterjee, giving him a second chance in living the reality of his dream life.
