Helping you take control of your weight, health, and confidence
For many people, losing weight isn’t just about appearance; it’s about regaining energy, improving health, and regaining self-confidence.
But when you’ve tried everything – diets, workouts, lifestyle changes and the results don’t last, it can feel discouraging.
At that point, bariatric surgery can be a safe, effective, and long-term solution.
At Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis in Pune and PCMC, our team specialises in bariatric and weight loss surgery designed to help you achieve sustainable results.
Our focus is not only on the procedure itself but also on your overall health — before, during, and long after surgery.
What is Bariatric Surgery/Weight Loss Surgery?
Bariatric surgery, or weight loss surgery, includes several procedures that help you lose significant and lasting weight by changing how your digestive system processes food.
It’s often recommended for people struggling with obesity when diet and exercise alone are not enough to achieve healthy weight loss.
At Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis, we offer advanced bariatric procedures, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, endoscopic gastric balloon, and gastric banding.
These procedures are performed by our board-certified surgeons in a safe, fully equipped surgical centre, utilising minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques to ensure a quicker recovery and less discomfort.
More than just a procedure, bariatric surgery can mark the start of a new chapter — one where you feel in control of your body and your life again.
Why Choose Bariatric Surgery?
Weight loss surgery isn’t a shortcut. It’s a structured, medically guided process that helps you overcome the physical barriers that make weight loss difficult.
Here’s what it can help you achieve:
- Significant Weight Loss: Achieve measurable and lasting results that improve your overall health.
- Better Health: Reduce obesity-related issues, including diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
- Improved Quality of Life: Move more freely, feel lighter, and experience renewed energy.
- Emotional Well-being: Regain confidence in your body and motivation for self-care.
- Long-Term Change: Maintain your results with guidance on nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle habits.
At Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis, we believe success begins with understanding your health history, your challenges, and your goals.
From there, we guide you toward the right solution, step by step.
Bariatric Procedures Offered at Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis
Every person’s body, metabolism, and lifestyle are unique. That’s why our specialists recommend a customised approach based on your health profile.
We offer the following bariatric procedures in Pune and PCMC:
1. Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
You’ll meet with our surgeon in complete privacy. We’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and what you can realistically expect to achieve. This is YOUR time—ask anything.
2. Sleeve Gastrectomy
Here, a portion of your stomach is removed to create a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach.
You feel full sooner and consume less food, while digestion remains normal.
It’s one of the most commonly performed and effective procedures for long-term weight management.
3. Adjustable Gastric Banding
An adjustable band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch that controls hunger.
It’s reversible, less invasive, and can be adjusted over time as your body changes.
All procedures are performed using minimally invasive (laparoscopic) techniques, which result in smaller incisions, a faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
4.Intragastric Gastric Balloon
In this non-surgical procedure, a soft silicone balloon is placed inside the stomach using an endoscope (a flexible tube passed through the mouth).
The balloon is then filled with saline to occupy space in the stomach, helping you feel full with smaller meals.
It’s a temporary weight-loss option, typically removed after six months, ideal for individuals who need moderate weight reduction or prefer a non-surgical approach.

When Should You Consider Bariatric Surgery?
You should always try to reduce weight by proper diet control and exercise. However, if everything else fails, you can try bariatric surgery to reduce your weight. You may be a good candidate for bariatric surgery if:
- Your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 32 or higher, or lower if you have obesity-related conditions, such as diabetes or hypertension.
- You’ve tried supervised diet and exercise programs, but haven’t been able to achieve or maintain weight loss.
- You are ready to commit to long-term lifestyle changes after surgery.
- You are in good general health and can undergo surgery safely.
At Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis, we conduct a detailed evaluation to determine the best procedure for your needs with complete transparency about risks, benefits, and expected outcomes.
Bariatric Surgery Cost in Pune & PCMC
Bariatric surgery can be performed in various ways, and each method requires different skills and time from the surgeon. Therefore, the cost of bariatric surgery depends on the type of procedure: gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, or gastric banding, as well as anaesthesia and medical needs.
At Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis, we believe cost should never be a barrier to better health.
We offer affordable weight loss surgery in Pune and PCMC, along with flexible payment options and easy EMI plans to make treatment more accessible.
During your consultation, we provide a precise and personalised estimate, allowing you to plan with confidence.
Recovery and Aftercare
Bariatric surgery is a major surgical procedure. However, each procedure is performed using minimally invasive techniques (e.g., Laparoscopy). Recovery after bariatric surgery is gradual, and you’ll have our full support at every stage.
Most patients return to light activities within 2–3 weeks, and recovery is typically complete within 4–6 weeks, depending on the procedure.
You’ll follow a structured diet plan starting with liquids and slowly moving to soft, then regular foods.
We also offer nutritional counselling and lifestyle coaching to help you establish lasting habits that support your new health.
Follow-up appointments are an essential part of this process as they help us to track progress, adjust diet plans, and ensure your body adapts safely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bariatric surgery painful?
No, the procedure is done under general anaesthesia. Some mild discomfort is expected afterwards, but it’s manageable with prescribed medication.
How much weight will I lose?
It varies by procedure and your dedication to post-surgery changes. Most patients lose 50–70% of excess body weight within one to two years.

Yes. When performed by experienced surgeons at a centre like Dhanwantari’s Chrysalis, the risk is low and safety is prioritised.
What is the difference between gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy?
