APRILASIA BUSINESS OUTLOOK19· Earlier, I was very heavy and weighed 143 kg. After undergoing bariatric surgery at the hands of Dr. Nitin, I feel very light and am able to walk as well as climb the stairs with ease. I am greatly satisfied with the treatment provided by the hospital and would definitely recommend Dr. Nitin for any patient in the future" ­ Shiv Prasad Mittal from Assam.· My mother was very much overweight and unable to do anything at home; neither could she walk nor breathe fine. There were a lot of problems. A doctor from our hometown told us about this hospital and referred her to Dr. Nitin. Meeting him and consulting him made us feel better and a lot more comfortable to undergo bariatric surgery. Not only was my mother discharged very soon after undergoing the procedure, but she is doing really well now post-surgery" ­ Harish Ahluwalia from Fatehpur.Patient Testimonialsfor patients, Dr. Nitin leverages his expertise in minimal access techniques to make the surgery less painful with minimum complications. Dr. Nitin's patient-centricity doesn't end there either. Well-aware of the importance of post-surgical care especially among patients who have undergone bariatric surgery, he also has a strong follow-up & support program at his hospital, where a team of highly experienced dieticians stay in touch with his patients post-surgery and prescribe suitable diet plans for each patient to ensure their speedy recovery and overall wellbeing. Further, Dr. Nitin himself works closely with the dieticians' team in formulating the diet plans for each patient and even calls them regularly to keep track of their recovery and body weight. Additionally, he is also available 24x7 for the patients in case they have any problems and offers timely remedial measure for them to avoid any further complications ­ a critical aspect that becomes the deciding factor during emergencies. Reminiscing a patient case that has been particularly etched in his memory, Dr. Nitin elucidates, "One of the foreign patients from Australia whom I used to tele-consult had reported his weight to be 150 kg; but upon landing in India and meeting me, his weight was found to be 210 kg. He was almost bedridden and faced difficulty to perform even the easiest daily tasks. After a year of undergoing a successful bariatric surgery from me, not only is he able to do everything with ease but is also married and a truck driver now, leading a normal, happy life".The Vision AheadGiven his exceptional track record and the widespread reputation that he has managed to garner over the years, going forward, Dr. Nitin aspires to setup a dedicated obesity center in Karnal. Any patient who walks into this center with obesity issues will be treated either through lifestyle modifications or new age drugs that have recently come-up in the market, while also facilitating bariatric surgery for cases where necessary. When asked to share a piece of advice for budding surgeons aspiring to take-up superspeciality in bariatric surgery, Dr. Nitin asserts, "For anyone who wishes to get into bariatric surgery, I always advise them to get trained at a dedicated bariatric center where the volume of patients is high. Since such centers do bariatric procedures on a daily basis, they will be able to get a first-hand experience and exposure to the entire spectrum of obesity-related patients. Also, dedication is key to success in bariatric surgery wherein they have to be available 24x7 to ensure their patients' recovery and wellbeing". Holding a DNB in General Surgery and FNB in Minimal Access Surgery, Dr. Nitin boasts of two decades of experience in General Surgery, Laparoscopic Surgery, Gastrointestinal Surgery and Bariatric Surgery. Along with pioneering laparoscopic bariatric surgery in Haryana, he is also trained in robotic surgery and has published numerous research papers as well.CEO, Director & Senior Consultant - Surgical Specialties, Global Cradle Hospital
