Introduction
Obesity and type 2 diabetes are among the most serious health challenges of our time. These conditions are not merely the result of poor lifestyle choices; they are complex, chronic diseases that require structured and scientifically proven treatment. At the International Metabolic and Bariatric Center (IMBC), we believe that successful weight loss and metabolic control demand more than surgery alone.
Under the leadership of Dr. Mushtaq Ahmad Orakzai, an experienced bariatric and metabolic surgeon, IMBC offers a comprehensive, multidisciplinary bariatric program that integrates surgery with bariatric nutrition, physiotherapy, psychology, and post-bariatric cosmetic care—ensuring safe, sustainable, and life-changing results.
What Is Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a medical treatment designed to help patients with severe obesity achieve long-term weight loss by modifying the digestive system, while Metabolic surgery focuses on improving or resolving metabolic diseases—especially type 2 diabetes, often independent of weight loss.
Common Bariatric & Metabolic Procedures at IMBC
- Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
- Mini / One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass
- Revision Bariatric Surgery
These minimally invasive procedures:
- Reduce appetite and hunger hormones
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Enhance metabolic balance
- Support long-term weight control
All surgeries at IMBC are performed by following international safety standards with a strong emphasis on patient education and long-term care.
Benefits Beyond Weight Loss
Bariatric and metabolic surgery offers multiple health benefits, including:
- Significant and sustained weight loss
- Improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes
- Better control of blood pressure and cholesterol
- Resolution of sleep apnea and joint pain
- Increased mobility, energy, and confidence
However, long-term success depends on professional support before and after surgery, which is why IMBC follows a multidisciplinary care model.
