A couple of years back, he underwent a gastric bypass surgery for diabetes management in a private hospital. He was at that time suffering from uncontrolled diabetes for nearly a decade.

He underwent a laproscopic procedure for weight loss. It involved stapling the stomach to create a small pouch so that a small amount of food helps satiate the appetite. This pouch is connected to the small intestine to lower fat absorption.

Mr. Jaitley tweeted later in the evening: “I am being treated for kidney related problems & certain infections that I have contracted. I am therefore currently working from controlled environment at home. The future course of my treatment would be determined by the doctors treating me.”
