Patient Experience
At 72, I was terrified of surgery, but Dr. Jayanth Leo X L's patience with my endless questions and his step-by-step explanation of the gastric sleeve procedure made me feel secure. He even adjusted my post-op diet considering my age-related digestion issues. Six months later, I've lost 40 kg and can play with my grandchildren without getting breathless.
My 16-year-old daughter's severe obesity was affecting her mental health. Dr. Jayanth didn't just see a BMI number, he connected with her struggles and created a comprehensive plan involving psychological support before considering surgery. His genuine care gave our family hope during our darkest time.
Rushed to Gem Hospital Aminjikarai with a strangulated hernia complicating my obesity, Dr. Jayanth performed emergency revision surgery at 2 AM. His calm demeanor while explaining the risks to my panicked family, followed by the flawless procedure, saved my life. The man works miracles under pressure.
What impressed me most during my routine pre-bariatric workup was how Dr. Jayanth noticed subtle thyroid symptoms others had missed for years. He coordinated with endocrinology before proceeding, this holistic approach shows he cares about root causes, not just performing surgeries.
My complex revisional bariatric surgery had been refused by three other surgeons. Dr. Jayanth developed a novel two-stage approach using customized stapling techniques. The man is an artist in the OR, meticulous, innovative, and confident where others saw only risk.
During follow-up, I confessed I'd regained 8 kg. Instead of judgment, Dr. Jayanth spent an hour analyzing my food diary, discovered my protein timing was off, and created a new meal schedule. His follow-up care is as thorough as his surgical skill.
As a bariatric patient with rare connective tissue disorder, my case required extreme precision. Dr. Jayanth collaborated with rheumatology, practiced my anatomy using 3D modeling, and perfected the sleeve gastrectomy with reinforced suturing. His dedication to unusual cases is extraordinary.
The way Dr. Jayanth explained metabolic changes using simple cooking analogies, comparing my metabolism to a 'slow cooker needing retuning', made complex science accessible. His ability to educate while building trust is a rare gift.
When surgical complications arose from previous scarring, Dr. Jayanth transformed the challenge into opportunity by combining my duodenal switch with innovative adhesion prevention techniques. He turns obstacles into advantages with breathtaking skill.
My teenage son's pre-bariatric nutritional counseling with Dr. Jayanth felt more like a supportive mentorship. He used gaming analogies ('leveling up your health stats') that resonated deeply, making my son an active participant in his transformation journey.
As a physician myself, I scrutinize other doctors meticulously. Dr. Jayanth's mastery of advanced laparoscopic techniques for my complex hernia repair alongside gastric bypass was academic-level brilliant. I'd trust him with my most critical cases.
The emotional care Dr. Jayanth provided my wife during her weight loss journey, remembering her fear of hospitals from childhood and always having her favorite nurse assist, shows healing isn't just about surgical precision but human connection.
When rare nutritional deficiencies appeared post-surgery, Dr. Jayanth personally researched emerging protocols and connected me with international specialists. His commitment extends far beyond the operating room.
My emergency port revision required immediate intervention during holiday hours. Dr. Jayanth canceled his family plans and performed the procedure with the same focus as elective surgery. This man embodies medical devotion.
