Sunita BanerjeeHello, I’m Sunita Banerjee. Got my bariatric surgery done in December 2013. Been 11 years now, what a change it has brought about in my life! Absolute 180 degrees turn.
I’d been morbidly obese for a long time. It’s just one of those things that keeps piling and you keep overlooking it. I tried in my own way, but I just couldn’t lose any weight.. The yo yo effect went on for years.
Slowly it started affecting my health- breathlessness, panting while walking even a very short distance, I hated going anywhere, dreaded meeting new people, sitting on plastic chairs as I was always afraid they would collapse (which has happened) My knees started giving away and the doctor advised knee replacement, which of course wouldn’t help because of my obesity. I had to lose weight.
I went for liposuction to lose weight instantly, thought it would be magic, but it turned out to be a nightmare, my biggest mistake which almost cost me life The struggle with my weight continued and I had kind of resigned myself to living with that. It was at a doctor’s clinic when I checked my weight that I got a jolt. Could have been hormonal changes or whatever, but I had gained more than 12 kgs in a month’s time, now it was a do or die That was when an angel in the disguise of a doctor advised me to go for a bariatric surgery. Started my search and came across Dr Ramen Goel. Both me and my husband went to see him and that was it. The confidence we got from meeting him, did it. Within a week the surgery was done. I stuck to the diet prescribed by taking all the supplements diligently. Thankfully I did not have any glitch. Everything was smooth.
Lost a total of 54 kgs in a year. Started enjoying life to the fullest, went on trips with my friends, no more extensions needed for the seat belt on the flights. Regained my confidence and felt awesome after ages. Got back to work with full gusto. Thank you so much Dr Goel n team. You’ve given me a new life.
I now recommend bariatric surgery to anyone who’s struggling with weight issues. In fact 3 of my friends have got it done after seeing me and hearing my story.

Preety SharmaThree years ago, I took a life-changing step by undergoing bariatric surgery, it has been one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. This journey has not only transformed my physical health but has also significantly improved my energy, confidence, and overall well-being. Over time, I’ve embraced healthier habits and celebrated milestones, I never thought possible. Reflecting on these three years, I’m grateful for the courage to take this step and for the support of those who have been with me along the way. It’s a testament to the power of determination and the endless possibilities that come with prioritizing one’s health. Thanks to my Doctor Goel and Wockhardt hospital.

Meena GokuldasFrom 114kg to 74kg has been an incredible journey. I have got a new lease of life. Today I am enjoying a close to normal life and can do simple things like shopping at ease, which was difficult earlier as I would be constantly looking for a place to sit., could not stand for long as my legs would hurt carrying excess weight. Dr Ramen is my saviour, my miracle man. Words fail me and I can only say a very heartfelt thankyou to him.

Paras GogriI am Paras Gogri- 42 years, however I feel like back to being 24!
Earlier I was 130kgs and was facing many physical illness like lack of energy, sleep apnea, ruined sexual life, knee pain, and most importantly lack of confidence in social and business aspects of life.
I tried every possible way to lose weight, by diet, gyming, fasting, ayurvedic medicines, yoga, walking, however nothing seemed to help.
Then I came across Bariatric Surgery, and found the best surgeon- Dr Ramen Goel.
I was excited and nervous at the same time and finally I went through the surgery in January 2023. My journey towards my healthier life began from that time.
From the day of surgery, till date, I lost 60kgs in a span of a year.
There are no side effects of this surgery, nor any physical illness were noticed. The more I lost weight, the younger and healthier I felt.
I am thankful to Dr Ramen Goel and team for giving me the life I imagined and the body I dreamt of!

Rajiv KumarI was suffering for the past 25years with Ankylosing Spondylitis (a type of spondylitis that effects the spine), I was in great pain, sometimes it used to be so bad that even walking was a great effort. I had consulted quite a few doctors, who were unanimous in their decision, that the only solution for all of my problems was to reduce weight immediately. I considered changes in my lifestyle, which included exercises, brisk walking and maintaining a strict diet. This helped me shed off only a couple of kgs, which was not very heartening.
I faced a lot of pressure both at workplace and home. I suffered from sleep apnoea, could sleep only 3-4hours, which added to my woes.
I underwent sleeve gastrectomy in 2011,. today after 13 years I weigh 74kgs.
The greatest blessing is that I am free of all aches & pains, He has also been off medication for the past 10 months. “I feel so much lighter & active, and I am able to do so much more now, than I used to do earlier”, is what Rajiv Kumarhas to say now.
“I truly am so glad I took this decision to undergo bariatric surgery, which has changed my life. I want to add that my snoring which was a nuisance to all at home, has gone completely and I am leading a happy family life, thank you Dr Goel”, is also what he has to say now.

Amrita PaulIt's a landmark year for me. I am starting out my life, renewed. A relaunch. New and Improved!
This journey started sometime this February.. it had been almost six months since I had breathed normally. I did not realize how much weight I was carrying on myself because I felt 'ok'.. it's only lately that I have realized I was 'comfortably numb' and the rest was the usual downward slide.
So one day some silly straw broke the camel's back.. I don't remember what it was but I remember the slow burning rage I felt inside and he only response in my mind was "Enough!!!!!!"
I had been toying with the idea of losing weight for several years and each effort left me a little more numb. 15-20 kilo weight loss had been achieved and then reversed and each yo yo cycle was more demoralizing than the last.
I was tired of the sermons on discipline and self control. I was tired of the judgement. Of being written off. Of being invisible. Of being taken too lightly (ironic, that!) .. of being dismissed, slighted, insulted and .. I was just tired. Physically, mentally and I think deep down in my soul.
I changed my life this year. I underwent bariatric surgery and in the last 5 and a half months, I have lost 35 kilos. Many angels held my hand as I made this journey. My parents, my husband, my daughter and of course: Sunita Aunty and Siddhartha Banerjee Uncle, who were the biggest advocates of the surgery . My surgeon Dr. Ramen Goel, my Physician Dr. Madhu Goel, Shefali and Shireen in the team.. all of them were angels that guided me on this journey and took me through.
I will continue writing about this experience but I especially wanted to write today.
It's my birthday and I want to raise a toast to the rest of my life!! From the darkness to the light.. life: here I come!
