Lifeline Group of Hospitals, Hyderabad, proudly announces a groundbreaking achievement — successfully performed bariatric surgeries on two international sisters on the same day, offering them a renewed path to health and vitality.

The sisters, aged 36 and 29, weighed 106.6 kg and 91.8 kg respectively, and were facing serious health challenges due to morbid obesity. Under the expert hands of Dr. JS Rajkumar, Chairman & Chief Surgeon, and Dr. Anirudh Rajkumar, Senior Bariatric Surgeon & Joint Managing Director, the surgeries were performed last Tuesday and were completed without complications.

Speaking about the milestone, Dr. JS Rajkumar stated,

“Obesity must be treated without delay, it is a ticking time bomb that can lead to sudden heart attacks, uncontrolled blood pressure, kidney diseases, and other life-threatening conditions. Bariatric and metabolic surgery is a scientifically proven solution for patients with high BMI struggling to lose weight through conventional methods.”

Post-surgery, both sisters have shown promising improvements in their conditions, including reductions in high blood pressure, sleep apnea, fatty liver, and joint pain.

Dr. Anirudh Rajkumar added,

“This is not just a surgical success, but the beginning of a healthier, fuller life for both sisters. Over the coming months, they can expect sustained weight loss and major improvements in overall health and energy levels. What makes this even more special is that for the younger sister — an unmarried woman — we performed a completely scarless surgery, meaning there will be no visible marks on the stomach in the future. For the elder sister, it was a complex revision surgery, which was successfully managed and marks a significant step in her ongoing health journey.

This rare double success story was shared during a press meet held at Lifeline Tulasi Multispeciality Hospital, Hyderabad, where members of the media heard firsthand from the medical team and the patients’ family.

The achievement reinforces Lifeline Tulasi Multispeciality Hospitals’ position as a centre of excellence in advanced bariatric and metabolic surgery, committed to addressing obesity and related diseases such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and fatty liver disease.
