"Transforming Lives with Advanced Gastrointestinal & Bariatric Surgery – 1 Life at a Time"
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me and the work I do.
I’m Dr. Kumaresan Supramaniam, known to many simply as Dr. Kumar, a Consultant Surgeon specializing in Oesophago-Gastric and Bariatric Surgery. Since beginning my journey in medicine in 2005, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate some of the most complex and sensitive gastrointestinal health challenges — from acid reflux and stomach cancer to obesity-related conditions and metabolic disorders.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience, my approach to care is grounded in three core values: innovation, patient-centered care, and the advancement of medical technology. My practice is driven by the belief that surgical excellence goes beyond technical skill — it’s about empathy, trust, and being present with each patient every step of the way.
What do i do?
I specialize in Upper Gastrointestinal (GI) Disease Treatments and Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, using advanced, minimally invasive techniques designed to promote faster recovery, reduce complications, and deliver lasting health outcomes.
My approach goes beyond traditional surgery — it’s about precision, personalization, and innovation. Whether you’re facing persistent acid reflux, a serious GI condition, or struggling with obesity and related health issues, I tailor each treatment plan to your individual needs, ensuring the highest standard of care.
I’m also proud to be one of the pioneers in Malaysia qualified to perform SADI-S (Single Anastomosis Duodeno–Ileal Bypass with Sleeve Gastrectomy) — an advanced bariatric procedure offering powerful results for weight loss and metabolic improvement.
My areas of expertise include:
Weight-loss procedures
Like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy
Surgical care
for acid reflux (GERD), hiatal hernias, & stomach/esophageal cancers
Laparoscopic surgeries
For functional GI disorders such as achalasia and motility issues
General Surgery
Endoscopic interventions, hernia repairs, and general surgical treatments
Who I Serve
My practice serves a diverse group of patients across Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia, focusing on individuals aged 25 to 70 from Chinese, Malay, and Indian backgrounds. Many of my patients lead demanding lives, balancing careers, family, and personal commitments, all while dealing with complex health issues. For them, time is valuable, and they often seek reliable, minimally invasive treatments after other options have failed to provide lasting relief.
Whether you’re struggling with chronic digestive discomfort, acid reflux, or the long-term challenges of obesity and related metabolic conditions, I understand the impact these issues can have on your daily life. As someone who’s worked with patients facing similar struggles, I want you to know that you’re not alone. There are solutions that can help restore your health, improve your quality of life, and allow you to reclaim your confidence and vitality.
With advanced, minimally invasive techniques — including groundbreaking procedures like SADI-S surgery, I offer personalized care designed for faster recovery, fewer complications, and better long-term outcomes.
You don’t have to wait any longer for relief. Together, we can find the right path forward.
Why Choose This Practice?
Many people seek out my care because they’re looking for answers — real answers, ones that come with not just medical expertise but also compassion and clarity. What sets my practice apart isn’t just the decades of experience or access to state-of-the-art facilities; it’s the genuine commitment to providing the very best care for each patient, one that is personalized and patient-centered.
I understand that health challenges can feel overwhelming. That’s why I take the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and work with you to find the most effective solutions. Whether you’re struggling with digestive issues, chronic reflux, or obesity, your story matters. Your health goals are valid — and it’s my privilege to walk this journey with you.
Every surgical decision I make is not only grounded in precision but also in a deep respect for your individual needs, your lifestyle, and your future. Together, we’ll find a solution that helps you heal, thrive, and live life on your terms.
