At 16, my patient weighed nearly 275 kg. Severe obesity was affecting his breathing, sleep and mobility.
After careful evaluation by a multidisciplinary team at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, we performed a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. In the following two months, he lost approximately 52 kg.
For me, this case has never been just about weight. It is about giving a young person a better chance at health and everyday life. Bariatric surgery in teenagers is a serious decision, made only after thorough assessment and followed by ongoing care.
