The Pioneer of Obesity & Weight Loss Surgery in Pakistan

Dr Zafar Iqbal Gondal

First ever surgeon who performed live Gastric Bypass (MGB-OAGB) in Pakistan

Gastric bypass is surgery that helps you lose weight by changing how your stomach and small intestine handle the food you eat. After the surgery, your stomach will be smaller. You will feel full with less food. The food you eat will no longer go into some parts of your stomach and small intestine that absorb food.

It affects every system in the body with notable strong associations with diseases that include high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, arthritis, polycystic ovarian syndrome and female infertility. Reducing your weight will help decrease the risk of developing these conditions. If you already suffer from these diseases, reducing your weight will improve your condition or in some cases, may even resolve them.

Sleeve
Gastrectomy

An effective surgical weight-loss procedure which involves inserting small instruments through multiple small incisions in the upper abdomen. During sleeve gastrectomy, about 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana.

Mini Gastric
Bypass - OAGB

Recently renamed as One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass. This weight loss surgery has in a very short time shown very positive and promising results and is now usually the doctor’s first choice for patient with BMI of 40 or more. The surgery takes less time and a lesser hospital stay than a regular bypass.

Roux-en-Y Gastric
Bypass - RYGB

This is usually a 3-4 hr laparoscopic surgery, with small incisions in the abdomen. This surgery reduces the size of your upper stomach to a small pouch about the size of an egg. The surgeon does this by stapling off the upper section of the stomach. This reduces the amount of food you can eat.

Redo Bariatric
Surgeries

In case of weight regain, or insufficient weight loss, a conversion or also called redo surgery from a previous weight loss operation to a RNY Gastric Bypass is certainly possible. In most corrected bariatric surgeries are lap band or sleeve gastrectomy to Mini Gastric Bypass.
