SADI-S Surgery in Mumbai
Understanding SADI-S Surgery
Single Anastomosis Duodeno-Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy (SADI-S) is an advanced bariatric procedure that combines two powerful approaches which includes reducing stomach size and bypassing part of the small intestine. This dual action not only limits how much food you can eat but also reduces how many calories and nutrients your body absorbs. SADI-S is a modified version of the duodenal switch but with just one intestinal connection (anastomosis), making the surgery technically easier and potentially safer.
Restrictive + malabsorptive weight loss procedure
Helps with obesity and metabolic conditions like diabetes.
What difference does SADI-S Surgery Creates?
SADI-S surgery doesn’t just change how you eat, it changes how you live. Many patients find they can participate in family meals without overeating, enjoy physical activity without exhaustion, or wear clothes they’ve dreamed of. Everyday tasks become easier, confidence grows, and the risk of obesity - related health problems diminishes. It’s about gaining freedom - freedom to move, to engage, and to live life on your own terms.

Is SADI-S Surgery right for you?
This procedure is recommended for people with severe obesity or metabolic conditions who haven’t achieved results with lifestyle changes or medications. It is particularly suitable for patients seeking a more effective long-term solution than sleeve gastrectomy alone.
Let’s explore if SADI-S Surgery is the right solution for you
- BMI ≥40, or BMI ≥35 with diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
- Failed non-surgical weight-loss attempts
- Commitment to lifelong lifestyle changes and follow-up care
- No contraindications like severe untreated reflux or certain gastrointestinal conditions
How Does This Procedure Work for Weight Loss?
SADI-S works through restriction, malabsorption, and hormonal changes. By reducing stomach size, patients feel full sooner and eat less. The intestinal bypass reduces calorie absorption, and hormonal changes help control appetite and improve insulin sensitivity.
Restricts food intake
Smaller stomach limits portion sizes
Reduces calorie absorption
Bypassed intestine decreases nutrient uptake
Improves metabolism
Hormonal changes aid in diabetes control
Supports long-term success
Steady, sustainable weight loss over 12–24 months
How it works
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Your journey begins with a consultation, health evaluation, and nutritional guidance. Surgery typically takes 2–3 hours, performed laparoscopically or robotically. Hospital stay is 2–4 days, with return to daily activities within 2–3 weeks.
Before Surgery: Health checks, diet counseling, and preparation
Detailed evaluations, pre-op nutrition plan, and guidance to ensure readiness
During Surgery: Minimally invasive, single intestinal connection
Small incisions, less pain, quicker recovery, with high safety standards
After Surgery: Gradual diet progression, supplements, and follow-up
1. Clear liquids → pureed → soft → solids
2. Lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation
3. Regular check-ups to ensure safe recovery and long-term results
How Does SADI-S Surgery Improve Your Health Beyond Weight Loss?
SADI-S doesn’t just change weight – it transforms health. Many obesity-related conditions improve or resolve, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, resulting in better long-term health and quality of life.
Sleep Apnea
Fewer nighttime breathing difficulties
Type 2 Diabetes
Improved blood sugar control, often reducing medication needs
Hypertension
Lower blood pressure levels
Less Joint Pain & Improved Mobility
Less pressure on knees, hips, and spine, improved stamina
