Mumbai: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Nitin Gadkari is fit to be discharged from hospital after undergoing a gastric bypass surgery on Tuesday. The surgical procedure that included weight loss would now result in the BJP president losing 30-40 kgs.
Mr Gadkari had undergone a successful surgery at a private hospital in Mumbai for treatment of Type II diabetes, the party had said.
The BJP president, who is a known diabetic, had difficulty in controlling his sugar levels and had been advised surgery by doctors attending to him. He had developed early diabetic nephropathy despite the best currently available medical management.
His surgeon Muffazal Lakdawala said, "Medically, he is fit now...he should be back to work within a week."
Commenting on the surgery, he said, "This is the last option that we had...the diabetes had started affecting the kidneys and the functioning of the pancreas."
