Exclusive to Dr. Kumar: SADI-S Surgery Now Available in Malaysia
A pioneer in offering the innovative SADI-S procedure for weight loss in Malaysia.
Dr. Kumar is proud to be the first and only surgeon in Malaysia offering the SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno–Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) procedure — an advanced bariatric and metabolic surgery for long-term weight loss and diabetes control.
While other methods like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy are commonly available, SADI-S delivers more powerful metabolic benefits with fewer complications.
Patients who have struggled with obesity, diabetes, or failed other weight loss methods may find success with SADI-S. Here’s why this surgery revolutionized the world of weight loss:
01.
✅ More Effective Weight Loss
Offers greater and more sustained weight reduction compared to standard sleeve or bypass.
02.
✅ Better Diabetes Control
Especially effective for type 2 diabetes patients — helps achieve remission or reduce medications.
03.
✅ Fewer Bowel Complications
Compared to traditional duodenal switch, SADI-S has lower risk of nutritional deficiencies or bowel issues.
04.
✅ Simplified Surgical Approach
Requires only one intestinal connection, reducing risks during and after surgery.
05.
✅ Great for High-BMI Patients
Especially suitable for individuals with higher BMI or those who haven’t succeeded with other surgeries.
