Dr Shah is the Former President of AIAARO (All India Association of Advancing Research in Obesity), Obesity Surgery Society of India and International Excellence Federation of Asia. He has done his Fellowship in bariatric surgery at USA, Italy, France, Brazil and at various other renowned centres in the world and enlightened India with the international bariatric standards.
He started the first Bariatric training program in India by which thousands of surgeons from Asia and abroad are trained.

He is a principal investigator of the landmark international study of Asian diabetes and its treatment.
Bariatric surgery leads to about 65 to 75% excess weight loss. Excess weight is calculated as actual weight minus ideal body weight.
It takes about 12 to 18 months to lose this weight. Weight loss is very quick in the first 6 months and then it tends to slow down.
Obesity is a chronic and progressive disease. Diet and lifestyle modifications are an important part of obesity management. Patients who follow the diet and lifestyle modification provided by the specialist after surgery get better results. Weight regain is expected to some degree in the long run but it can be controlled if the patient follows a healthy lifestyle.
After the bariatric procedure, the patient has to follow a liquid diet for a span of 15 days. Which is followed by the stage of semi-solid or soft diet for the next round of 15 days. After a months period, most patients are asked to resume with normal food but in limited quantity. At the start the intake is low but over a period of time, patients are able to eat better. It is also advised to intake nutritional supplements like protein supplement, iron, calcium and multivitamins. These will be advised by the doctor based upon your reports , progress as well as the type of surgery.
The cost of bariatric surgery depends on the type of surgery and the room category that the patient choose.
Few insurance companies cover it now. There are also an option of medical loan through which patients can get the facility of paying for the surgery in monthly instalments and EMIs.
