Questions & Answers on "Obesity Or Bariatric Surgery" (46)

Side effects of bariartic surgery

Female | 47

Bariatric surgery can have both positive effects on health and potential side effects. The specific side effects can vary depending on the type of bariatric surgery performed, but here are some common ones:


Surgical risks: It includes infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

Nutritional deficiencies:It impacts nutrient absorption and lead to deficiencies of iron, vitamin B12, calcium, and vitamin D. These deficiencies may require lifelong supplementation and close monitoring.

Dumping syndrome: Can occur after gastric bypass surgery, where food moves too quickly from the stomach to the small intestine. You may experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and rapid heart rate after meals.

Gallstones: Rapid weight loss after bariatric surgery can increase the risk of developing gallstones. 

Changes in bowel habits: Some individuals may experience changes in bowel movements like diarrhea or constipation, after bariatric surgery.

Hair loss: Temporary hair loss or thinning may occur due to nutritional deficiencies or rapid weight loss. This is usually temporary and can be managed with proper nutrition.

Psychological and emotional changes: Bariatric surgery can have a significant impact on body image, self-esteem, and emotional well-being. Some may experience depression, anxiety, or body image issues post-surgery.

I need to lose weight without exercise what do I do....I don't like the fact that it looks like I'm addicted to food and to over eating and to unhealthy stuffs and it's like I can't stop....

Female | 20

Trying to lose we­ight sans exercise fe­els tricky. An unhealthy attachment to food, mainly the­ not-so-good options, grows common. Excessive intake cause­s weight gain. Feeling unable­ to control your eating qualifies as a symptom of overe­ating. Root causes could stem from emotional e­ating habits, boredom, or stressful situations. To improve, practice­ mindful eating, monitor portion sizes, and swap in healthie­r edible choices.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Female | 17

You might be going through an eating disorder. Skipping meals and binge eating can mess up your body and mind. When the cortisol and inflammation levels are high, it can be concerning. It is still significant to ask for a professional's competence to help and assist you in improving your life.

How to reduce lower body fat??

Female | 20

To reduce fat in your hips, thighs, and buttocks, eat fewer calories than your body needs. Excess calories turn into fat. Focus on eating healthy foods like fruits, veggies, and lean proteins, and exercise regularly. Activities like walking, jogging, or biking can help burn stored fat and improve overall health.

Male | 26

Constantly eating non-stop in a bid to gain weight may result in health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and heart complications. To ensure that you put on pounds in a healthy manner, ensure that you have balanced – protein, carbohydrates, and fats. To help you with this, a nutritionist can assist in coming up with such a diet plan for you.

Am 21 year old girl I need weight gain injection for a week

Female | 21

It is completely normal to want to increase weight; however, shots are not the solution. If you feel sick or unintentionally lose weight, seek medical advice immediately. Rapid loss of weight might be due to stress, sickness, or an underlying medical condition. The doctor will guide you on how to gain weight safely and healthily.

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...

Male | 20

If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

મારુ વજન ઘટતું જાય છે મારી ઉંમર ૭૩ વર્ષ છે ક્યારે એપોઈમેંટ મળે

Male | 73

On the scheduled date, the increase in weight comes from the daily intake of food and lifestyle habits. Hair loss can be problematic, especially when combined with excessive exercise. It is important to follow the guidance of an instructor and consult your doctor to stay safe. If you're concerned about your weight, it's advisable to discuss it with your doctor.
