AIIMS Surgeons Perform Weight Loss Surgery on Railway Engineer
A man from Uttar Pradesh who weighed a lot, about 250 kg, had a surgery to help him lose weight.
Doctors at AIIMS made his stomach smaller so he wouldn't eat as much.
This type of surgery is called one-anastomosis gastric bypass.
The surgery took about 2.5 hours, and he is now recovering well.
Before this, he had tried to lose weight before but gained it back.
Because of his weight, he had trouble breathing.
He is an engineer for the Indian Railways.
The surgery might help improve his health.
He was discharged from the hospital and is doing fine.
A 31-year-old Indian Railways engineer from Uttar Pradesh underwent bariatric surgery at AIIMS, Delhi.
The patient weighed 250 kg and had a BMI of 75.5, classified as super-super obesity.
The surgery, a one-anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), took 2.5 hours on May 30th.
The OAGB procedure created a small stomach pouch to reduce food intake and absorption.
The patient, who had previously lost weight, was discharged and is recovering well.
