- Type 2 Diabetes Improvement:
Tried countless diets and exercises but still battling obesity?
One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass & SADI-S Surgery provides a transformative, proven solution for long-term weight loss and better health, helping you take control and embrace a healthier, more confident future.
One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) and SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno-ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) are advanced weight loss surgeries designed for individuals struggling with severe obesity who are looking for effective, long-lasting solutions. These procedures work by restricting food intake and altering the digestive process to limit calorie absorption, leading to sustainable weight loss.
In OAGB, a pouch (much longer as compared to RYGB) is created from the stomach, which limits the amount of food you can eat. A single anastomosis (connection) is made between this pouch and a section of the small intestine, creating a simplified bypass, which is less complex than traditional methods. This approach tends to result in faster weight loss and fewer complications.
SADI-S is a more extensive surgery that combines sleeve gastrectomy with a more significant bypass, offering improved malabsorption of calories and enhanced weight loss results. Both surgeries have been shown to deliver rapid weight loss, with many patients losing a significant amount of excess weight within the first year. Additionally, they can resolve or greatly improve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. SADI-S operation is generally recommended in very severely obese (BMI in excess of 60) and is very often performed in 2 stages - sleeve gastrectomy first followed by the duodenal switch 18-24 months later as a second stage.
Dr. Hrishikesh, a skilled bariatric surgeon, uses the latest laparoscopic techniques for these procedures, ensuring minimal invasiveness, faster recovery, and optimal long-term results.
OAGB is a less invasive alternative to the traditional Roux-Y Gastric Bypass.
Both surgeries work to reduce stomach size and limit calorie absorption, but OAGB involves only one anastomosis, which simplifies the procedure, reduces recovery time, and can be safer while offering comparable results.
OAGB patients typically lose 60-80% of their excess weight within 18-24 months following surgery. SADI-S procedure typically helps you lose 60-90% of their excess weight within 18-24 months.
Weight loss continues for up to two years, but at a slower pace. Success largely depends on following a healthy diet, regular exercise, and lifestyle changes.
After surgery, you’ll transition through a liquid diet to pureed foods, eventually moving to small portions of solid foods.
A high-protein, low-carb diet is crucial for recovery, avoiding nutritional deficiencies, and ensuring sustainable weight loss. Dr. Hrishikesh will help you plan the ideal nutrition regimen.
While the surgeries are generally safe, they come with some risks, including infection, blood clots, leaks, and bowel obstruction.
Long-term risks may include nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues. However, these risks are minimized with careful monitoring and post-surgery care.
The typical recovery time is 6-8 weeks.
Many patients can return to light activities within 2-3 weeks, but more intense physical activities should be avoided for at least six weeks to ensure proper healing. Dr. Hrishikesh will guide your post-surgery recovery journey.
OAGB and SADI-S surgeries not only lead to significant weight loss but also offer a wide range of health benefits that can improve your overall well-being.
Yes, many patients experience significant improvements or even remission of type 2 diabetes following surgery.
This happens as blood sugar control improves and insulin sensitivity increases.
Absolutely. Significant weight loss after surgery often results in reduced blood pressure, and many patients are able to stop using blood pressure medications.
The weight loss from OAGB and SADI-S can reduce the fatty tissue around your neck, improving or resolving sleep apnea symptoms, leading to better sleep quality.
Yes, shedding excess weight will reduce strain on your joints, especially weight-bearing ones like the knees, hips, and lower back, resulting in less pain and better mobility.
In addition to physical health benefits, many patients report a boost in mental health, increased energy levels, and greater confidence post-surgery.
Discover the surprising success rates, health improvements, and lasting weight loss that make One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass & SADI-S Surgery a life-changing option for many.
OAGB and SADI-S are both performed through minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. These procedures involve creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting part of the small intestine. The difference lies in the extent of the rerouting, with SADI-S being a more complex procedure that results in greater calorie malabsorption.
Typically, the surgeries last 2-3 hours, and patients are monitored in the hospital for 2-3 days. The laparoscopic approach leads to smaller incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgeries.
Yes, both procedures are performed under general anesthesia to ensure comfort and pain-free surgery.
Surgery typically lasts between 2-3 hours, depending on individual factors and procedure complexity.
Yes, both OAGB and SADI-S are minimally invasive, performed with laparoscopic techniques, which result in smaller incisions and faster recovery.
Most patients stay for 2-3 days to monitor progress and ensure no complications arise.
You can return to light activities in 2-3 weeks, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for at least six weeks to allow full recovery.
Post-surgery recovery for OAGB and SADI-S requires adherence to a strict diet plan, starting with liquids and progressing to pureed foods and solids in small portions. It's vital to follow these dietary guidelines to avoid complications and ensure long-term success. Nutritional supplements will also be necessary to avoid deficiencies.
While light exercise is encouraged during recovery, high-impact activities should be avoided until fully healed.
You will follow a liquid diet initially, progressing to pureed foods and soft solids. A high-protein, low-carb diet is essential for optimal recovery.
Most patients feel back to normal within 6-8 weeks, experiencing significant improvements in health and energy levels.
Mild discomfort is common, but it can be managed with prescribed medications. Thanks to the laparoscopic approach, pain is generally less than with traditional surgery.
Yes, you will need to take vitamins and minerals to prevent deficiencies, particularly in calcium, vitamin D, and B12.

Yes, OAGB is a potentially reversible procedure, but we do not routinely advocate the same. Reversal of OAGB will only be done in extremely rare situations. SADI-S is a permanent procedure.
While adjustments can sometimes be made, the changes to your stomach and intestines are typically irreversible.
Yes, in the immediate recovery period, you may need pain management medications.
Long-term, you will need to take vitamins and supplements to prevent nutrient deficiencies.
While the surgeries are highly effective for weight loss, maintaining the results requires long-term lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper post-surgery care.
Most patients maintain significant weight loss for years, but commitment is key.
Hair loss is a common concern after any weight loss surgeries, including Roux-Y Gastric Bypass. This can occur due to the rapid weight loss and possible nutrient deficiencies.
Most patients notice hair regrowth after 6-12 months as they stabilize their weight and improve their nutritional intake.
It’s best to avoid alcohol in the initial months after surgery, as your body will be adjusting to the new way of digesting food and liquids.
Once healed, occasional alcohol consumption is allowed, but it should be limited due to its higher caloric content and potential impact on your weight loss.
Yes, regular physical activity is essential for long-term success.
Once you’ve fully recovered, incorporating regular exercise into your routine can help you maintain weight loss, improve muscle tone, and boost overall health.
Yes, you can have children after surgery.
However, it’s generally recommended to wait at least 12-18 months after surgery before attempting pregnancy, as this allows you to stabilize your weight and nutritional levels. You’ll also need to take extra care with prenatal vitamins after surgery.
While these surgeries are generally safe, long-term side effects may include nutritional deficiencies (e.g., vitamin B12, iron, calcium), diarrhea, or food intolerances.
Regular follow-ups with your healthcare team are essential to monitor your health and make adjustments as needed.
No, the surgeries are designed to reduce your stomach size and limit the amount of food you can consume.
Overeating can lead to discomfort, nausea, and vomiting. You will need to adopt a habit of eating smaller, balanced meals throughout the day.
Yes, lifelong supplementation is often required to prevent nutritional deficiencies. Common supplements include multivitamins, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D.
