B Ramana

I am a surgeon who specializes in the following fields: 1. Laparoscopic surgery 2. Digestive Disease Surgery 3. Colonic and anorectal surgery, including newer procedures like THD, VAAFT (endoscopic fistula surgery), stapler surgery for piles, etc. 4. Bariatric and metabolic surgery (surgery for the cure of Type II Diabetes Mellitus). 5. Single Incision Surgery 6. Endoscopic Neck Surgery (scarless thyroid and parathyroid surgery). I have been in surgical practice since 1995, and have crossed 22,000 surgeries since then. A large percentage of them are laparoscopic gall bladder and hernia surgery, and I have not had a conversion in more than 15,000 consecutive lap chole (GB) cases. Apart from my surgical work, I am keenly interested in helping people with weight loss and fitness. I am a Hardstyle kettlebell instructor, and am taking the RKC certification in April 2012. I am on Twitter (@rambodoc) and have an obesity support group in Facebook called 100+/-. My website is www.up-surge.com and www.bmi-india.com (where I write on bariatric surgery). My email id is rambodocATgmailDOTcom. I consult at Belle Vue Clinic, Kolkata, and appointments can be made by email or phone. Details are available at the www.up-surge.com website.
