Bariatric surgery is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself – Mr Harsh Pandya

After several years of researching the possibility of bariatric surgery, Mr Harsh Pandya, decided it was time to have it done when he no longer could lose the weight on his own.

“I look very heavy nearing my 20s and much worried about my health risks. I had heard that once you reach a certain age, losing weight becomes harder,” says Harsh.

He was suffering from Dyslipidemia and Fatty liver with Grade III obesity. With the weight of 157 Kgs, it is very hard to maintain healthy daily routine for a student.

“I thought life before the surgery was good, but I didn’t realize how inactive I was until I talked with my doctor.”

Harsh lost 65 Kgs after surgery and off to other medication. He received assistance from a comprehensive support team at Zydus Hospital’s GObesity Bariatric Center.

“If I ever have a question or concern, I am sure Dr Parag is there for me.”

Making a lifestyle change like this one can be challenging, but Harsh says you must stay committed. He has eliminated both sugar and soda from his diet and has increased her physical activity by regular walks/runs.

“Now I can go for trips with all my friends and play outdoor games with them, this is the best part of this whole process.” Says Harsh. “I am so healthy, now.”

“Bariatric surgery is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, and I am grateful for the continued support from Dr Parag Patel and entire team of GObesity Bariatric Center.”
