Safe & Effective Weight Loss Surgery with Dr. Sanjay Kolte

Obesity is more than just a cosmetic concern—it’s a chronic medical condition that increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, sleep apnea, joint problems, and even certain cancers. For individuals struggling with severe obesity and unable to lose weight through diet and exercise alone, bariatric surgery offers a proven, life-changing solution.

If you're looking for a trusted and experienced bariatric surgeon in Pune, Dr. Sanjay Kolte brings years of surgical expertise and patient-focused care to help you regain health and confidence.

What Is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery refers to a group of weight loss procedures that work by restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, altering digestion, or both. These procedures are recommended for individuals with a BMI of 35 or above, especially when associated with comorbidities like:

  • Type 2 Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • Obstructive Sleep Apnea
  • High Cholesterol
  • Fatty Liver Disease
  • Joint & Mobility Issues

Types of Bariatric Surgery Offered by Dr. Sanjay Kolte

As an experienced bariatric surgeon in Pune, Dr. Kolte performs the most advanced and widely accepted weight loss procedures, including:

  • Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG) – Removes a portion of the stomach to reduce capacity and appetite.
  • Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) – Creates a small pouch and reroutes digestion to limit absorption.
  • Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) – A simpler version of RYGB with fewer surgical steps.
  • Revision Bariatric Surgery – For patients needing correction or modification of previous bariatric surgeries.

All procedures are performed laparoscopically (minimally invasive), ensuring faster recovery, fewer complications, and minimal scarring.

  1. Long-term weight loss (60–80% of excess weight)
