From 124 kg To 93 Kg, Jayeshkumar Jani Reclaims His Life Through Bariatric Surgery At NObesity
Jayeshkumar Jani's Transformation from Severe Compromise to 93 kg with NObesity's Bariatric Surgery
Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India], October 16: Jayeshkumar Jani, 61, faced overwhelming health challenges due to severe obesity. Weighing 124 kg with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 41.6 kg/m², his quality of life was severely compromised.
Mr. Jani suffered from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), ischemic heart disease (IHD), left ventricular dysfunction, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), relying on a BiPAP machine and frequent nebulisation. Diabetes further worsened his condition, requiring daily insulin and medication. Even walking two steps left him breathless, with oxygen saturation dropping to 88%.
After trying various diets and exercise plans without success, Mr. Jani opted for bariatric surgery. In December 2023, he underwent Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy at NObesity Bariatric Surgery Centre, under Dr. Manish Khaitan, Director and Sr. Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeon.
Today, Mr. Jani’s life has transformed. His weight has dropped from 124 kg to 93 kg, and his diabetes has improved, eliminating the need for insulin. He no longer needs a BiPAP machine, and his medication intake has drastically reduced from 26 to just 7 tablets a day. Where once he could barely walk two steps, today he can walk up to 3 km daily.
Emphasising the holistic benefits of bariatric surgery, Dr. Manish Khaitan, said, “The transformation of Jayeshkumar Jani showcases how bariatric surgery can not only aid weight loss but also significantly improve conditions like diabetes, heart disease and respiratory issues, which have a direct bearing on health. At NObesity Bariatric Surgery Centre, our goal is to help patients rediscover life with a healthier body and mind.”
Mr. Jani expressed his gratitude to Dr. Khaitan and NObesity Bariatric Surgery Centre for the life-changing procedure, saying, “This surgery gave me a second chance. Going beyond just losing weight, the surgery was about gaining life. It is one of the best things that has ever happened to me.”
Mr. Jani’s story is one of perseverance and the life-transforming impact of bariatric surgery. His journey offers hope for reclaiming life and rediscovery joy to others suffering from the effects of obesity.
