“My body hurt all of the time, I had severe Hypertension and I was on several medications for fatty liver, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, etc. and used a CPAP for sleeping.”

But the excess weight wasn’t just a serious health concern for Anuj, it also impacted his daily life and prevented him from doing what he loved most — especially my Business trips. Like Anuj, we see many patients who simply can’t be as active and involved with their daily routine as they’d like to be.

The primary concern with obesity is that it has been proven to take years off a person’s life. Thankfully for Anuj, his primary care physician recognized the dire shape he was in, both physically and emotionally, and recommended weight loss surgery as an option to help him lose the weight and reclaim his life.

“After the suggestion from my primary care physician, I contacted Dr Parag Patel on a referral from a good friend who was a previous patient,” Anuj said. “At my initial consult, we discussed all of the options and what I could expect from surgery, including the outcomes.”

“Zydus Hospital’s GObesity Bariatric Center set me up with nutrition and mental health pre-surgical counseling. They really take care of their patients well before the actual surgery, ensuring they are ready for the changes this will bring in their life,” said Anuj.

On the recommendation of Dr Parag Patel, Anuj selected the procedure and had surgery on July 2020. Later, he has lost nearly 54 Kgs!

Not all our patients come to us with a recommendation from their primary care physician, like Anuj, but that extra push helps make the decision easier. We encourage our patients to consult with their primary care doctors and/or endocrinologists and we work together with those other healthcare providers to ensure our patients have the best comprehensive team and support system in place before and after surgery. – Dr Parag Patel

“I truly do have a new life and this surgery completely changed my life. I am happier overall, I feel great, I feel like I look great. My family is proud of me and I am proud of myself. I am now off all medications, and no longer need a CPAP to sleep. I have no more pain in my body and have not had any more health troubles.”
