The Bariatric Surgery department works on providing such morbidly obese people with hope, through treatment protocols that ensure one is brought back to society to live a normal and productive life. At Harmony Hospital, the whole spectrum of metabolic surgeries is performed through minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic surgery.

Procedures such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypasses, mini-gastric bypass, and banded sleeve gastrectomy are performed on a regular basis. The scars are minimal and the healing process is quick – there is no blood loss or the use of numerous tubes. Patients need to stay in the hospital post-surgery for 2-3 days. They have been prescribed a liquid protein diet for a few weeks before they are called back in for an evaluation. By this time, they will be back on their feet.
