SARFARAZ BAIG
Dr. Sarfaraz Jalil Baig is a dynamic surgeon who girded his laparoscopic loins by plunging headlong into GI cancer surgery. His experience with the subject exposed him to all the body’s organs and how they take the insults of disease and surgical trauma. His results have been widely acknowledged to be consistent with the high standards of international level surgeons. For example, he has a zero-mortality series of Whipple’s operation (operation for pancreatic cancer).
He gets referrals for solving complex cases from other surgeons, to whom he is always accessible.
Dr. Baig has gained wide experience and diverse skills in gastroenterology, thanks to his habit of constantly upgrading his skills, whether in a premier cancer center in India or a tertiary level hospital in Japan.
He has delivered lectures in many national and international conferences, his latest paper on gall bladder cancer being accepted in the World GI Conference in Barcelona in 2009.
His publications include research on gall bladder mucosa (Tropical Gastroenterology, 2005), acute pancreatitis (Tropical Gastroenterology, 2006), bronchobiliary fistula (Journal of Minimal Access Surgery, 2009), pediatric colorectal cancer ( J Ped Surg of India) and duodenal adenocarcinoma ( Indian Journal of Surgery, 2009).
He has authored two monographs on biliary and liver surgery, and contributed a chapter on surgical nutrition in ‘Textbook of Surgery’ as well.
Dr. Baig treasures one particular achievement in his career: a successful laparoscopic adrenalectomy on a three month old baby.
As a result of these, he is a much sought after operating faculty in the various medical colleges in the Eastern part of India.
Dr. Baig decided to concentrate on bariatric surgery since early 2000s owing to the challenges posed to doctors by the morbidly obese. He has since been seeing a large part of his time dedicated to his bariatric patients, many of whom come from far flung places on the global map.
His life’s ambition consists of being able to take a six-month long vacation in the Himalayas without access to a telephone or television.

Dr Saha, if you are asking about the entire technique , you would have to refer to our blog where much has been written on the principles and technique of the surgery for diabetes. If you are asking only about the procedure time, the surgery takes 2-3 hours and the hospital stay can be from 2-4 days. If you need to know more, call me at 98300 08668 or email to me or Dr Ramana. We will be glad to help.

I would be happy to see you at my clinic in Belle Vue. Please call at 98300 08668 or email me at docsarfarazbaig@yahoo.co.in for appointment to carry the discussion forward. Regards.

Hello Sir,
I am 175cms tall and weight around 109kgs. My age is 29years. In recent past I managed to loose my weight by 15 kgs and I came down to as low as 95kgs. Though I did join slimming centers for that. But again I gained weight. Now a days I have started again but this time the weight lost is not that prominent as it was 3-4 years back. I did booked appointment but never actually turned up because of family pressure. I am still not able to convince myself and my family that I sould go for the bariatric surgery. questions that refrain me from going forward are:
1) will the surgery have any side effects in future
2) will i be able to live the same life after surgery that i am living today
3) is there any other way without surgery with which i can achieve weight loss
4) I trust your and ramanna sir’s word but again there is a fear of going ahead with surgery
again i dream of seeing myself in good shape. need your help and advice.
June 15, 2011 at 10:57 PM
Thank you Dr Kasmi. I think it is too kind of you to think so. Hoping to meeting you soon.
June 15, 2011 at 11:11 PM
Dear Mr Das
I think you are apprehensive regarding the surgery as anyone should be. However, the issues you have raised need to be addressed scientifically. Nobody in this world wants to have surgery unless it is mandatory. Unfortunately, pills do not work for all diseases and conditions including morbid obesity. Bariatric surgery till date is the only proven method of fat loss in the morbid obese. Like any other surgery it has its risks. At your age, it is pretty low. You will have to come and visit us once to discuss these issues. You can definitely realize your dream of getting back in shape. The journey however has to start with your taking the first step to our clinic.
Cheers
