Testimonials :

I am 6 feet tall and had been an athlete all my life. However after the agenog30 I started gaining weight. I used to weigh around 89 kgs # but gradually my weight creeped up. I slowly began touching 140 kgs#.

I tried everything from dieting to exercises , swimming and also running. However I could not loose my weight. My weight became a liability. I had to buy oversize garments from abroad. Travelling by flights became cumbersome as the economy seats were small for me. I used to get recurrent skin infections and joint pains. I used to feel lazy and lethargic all the time.

It was during this low phase in my career that I met Dr Sujoy who told me about Bariatric surgery . The first time I was not convinced as I thought it was another gimmick. As I had been through all types of dieting , VLC clinics etc

However when I went online and saw so many patients benefitting from the procedure that I decided to undertake the procedure.

Procedure was a breeze , 2 days stay in hospital and a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I slowly began to loose weight and most importantly I lost my voracious appetite. However I did not become week but rather the opposite I began to feel very energised. Today I weigh 82 kgs #.

I work very hard as I work on the oil Riggs off the Gulf coasts. It's been 3 years that Dr Sujoy and his team has performed this life changing operation for me.

Every where I go heads just turn and people ask me what happened. I have nothing to say and thank God and the surgeons for coming out of this dark phase in my life.

Mr Phillip Da Costa

I am Meeta.I went through vertical sleeve surgery on 20th june 2012 performed by Dr.Das.Before the surgery I weighed 104kgs # and I am just 30years old.I was always on healthier side but had gone out of proportion due to back to back pregnancies and deliveries.Both my kids are by C-section & like most indian women I was not able to loose the excess weight gained.

Dieting or Excercising both not being my forte I decided to go for surgery.After meeting Dr.Das I did not feel the need to consult any other doctor as he was very clear about the pros and cons of the surgery.He was readily available to answer any queries and easily cleared any doubts me or my family had about the surgery.He had explained us about all the risks involved which was very helpful.I was never scared as I always knew I was in safe hands.

Dr.Das and Dr.Judith have positively supported me in my decision and also helped me convince my family to allow me to take this step for my better health.Even post surgery they readily consult & advise me if I have any problems or issues.

(I was offered very good facilities at their hospital in margao.The staff was also over-whelming and supportive.Well equiped OT & trained staff were an important reason for my comfort.)-this is optional if u need to add as it should not look as advertisement.

Today almost after 6 months I have lost around 20kgs # which was not possible without the surgery.I have gained self confidence & ability to do things I like.With this I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank Dr.Das and his team for succesfully treating me of my obesity.

Neha

Dr. Sujoy Das and his team were the ones to operate on me for my Gastric banding surgery after much research . Like any other normal person I was nervous anxious and worried if this is the right thing to do to solve my weight issues and about all the side effects that came with gaining weight. I met Dr. Das for the first time at an open Seminar that was conducted for obesity patients. From the time I got in touch with Dr. Sujoy until date that is 2 years later am very pleased and happy with my results. Dr. Sujoy was there to answerer all my questions and solve any problem anytime I emailed him or contacted him by phone as I was an overseas patient. Am grateful for the way my surgery was done with minimal scarring and healing time was quick. The results have been amazing and it has changed my life and self esteem completely. I used to weigh 95 kilos # when I had the surgery and now I weigh and maintain for the past 1 year 65 Kilos #. I feel sad when I hear stories of surgeries gone wrong and complications of other people and I feel so grateful that everything has gone smoothly with me because of Dr. Das and his expertise. The hospital too was Very good with good facilities and had everything within its premises.

I highly recommend this surgery to anyone who has been struggling with their weight. Once you do it and see the changes you will wonder why it took you so long to decide. It takes a year to fully enjoy the benefits but once your there your whole world changes. You just feel so good about yourself that it reflects in all walks of life and you have a positive well being. It’s the best gift one can give to oneself. I thank you Dr. Das for changing my life and always being there for my medical needs.
