At Mohak Bariatrics, we come across many patients whose life-transforming journey has become an inspiration to overcome obesity. Bariatric surgery involves careful consideration and consultation and a bond of trust between the patient and the team. We have had many such patients’ stories, where we have seen a complete change in our obesity-ridden patients’ physical and mental health. One such journey of determination is that of Ms Preetika Zaweri.
A dance enthusiast and teacher, Zaweri met with a fatal road accident in October 2009, injuring her hands, legs and head. The doctor suggested complete bed rest for 10 months- due to which she started gaining weight- reaching a 100 kgs mark. She started feeling helpless. Once she stood up on her feet after recovery- she could not do anything. Sadly, could not follow her passion for dancing.
Once she determined to do something for her health, she got answers. Her daughter suggested her to get bariatric surgery. Before this, Zaweri had no clue about bariatric surgery. But she decided to take a step further and booked an appointment to see a doctor in Nasik. Later, when she reached Nasik, her relative suggested that Bariatric Surgery needs consideration and proper guidance- why doesn’t she go to Indore instead to Mohak Bariatrics. That’s when she decided to come to us—Travelling Mumbai to Indore- to transform her life.
Everything went in smoothly for Zaweri. Within a day, she was able to return home as well. It was astonishing for her- that it could be so quick and effective. She has time and again told us that- the hospitality of the staff, the hygiene inside the hospital, and the amicable doctors made her feel like she is on vacation in a five- star hotel. Nothing makes us happier than to see our patients making good memories with us.
After Ms Preetika Zaweri recovered, she had a message for everyone to take a step forward to curb obesity, to go for a bariatric surgery fearlessly from Dr. Mohit Bhandari. Even at 60, Zaweri can feel she is only 40; in 3 months, she lost an unbelievable 22 kgs, her diabetes is remitted, her knee problem is solved, even her eyesight has dramatically improved. She can dance again, teach again, live again.
