Your weight loss treatment will begin with dieting, exercise and lifestyle modifications, and in the event that they don't yield desired results, only then will you be considered for some medication or surgical treatment, but they would be parallel to your dieting, exercising, and lifestyle efforts.
- To put you on medication, your doctor will first expect you to meet one of the following criterions, in case clinical prescriptions aren't sufficient:
- Your body mass index (BMI) is equal to or greater than 30.
- Your BMI is greater than 27.
- But if you have medical complications related to obesity as well, such as diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea, or anything else, then discuss with the doctor.
- Note: There could be side effects & risks for each, so keep your doctor updated on regular basis.
IMPORTANT:
There are surgeries meant to remove fats, but those specific surgeries are reserved only for those individuals who are not obese/fat overall, if you are obese then you will qualify for the surgeries below that are only concerned with limiting your food intake.
- Endoscopic surgeries: they are less invasive and are concerned with surgical procedures which limit your capacity to consume food, such as the methods mentioned below:
- Putting stitches in your stomach to reduce its size and its capacity to consume food.
- Or inserting a small balloon into your stomach, which is then filled with water to reduce the amount of space available. This helps you feel fuller faster.
- Bariatric surgeries: These surgical procedures have the same role as endoscopic surgeries, but with more invasive technologies.
- You will qualify for them if earlier treatments failed, but your BMI will have to be between 35 to 40, and especially so, if the same is coupled with some serious weight-related problem, such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
- The procedures are as follows: gastric by-pass, adjustable gastric banding, biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, and gastric sleeve.
- Vagal nerve blockade:
- It involves planting a device under the skin of your abdomen, which will send intermittent electrical signals to the abdominal vagus nerve, it is concerned with informing the brain when the stomach is empty or full.
- Can be used for adults who have not been able to lose weight, or who have a BMI of 35 to 45, either/both with at least one obesity-related condition.
- Rough cost estimate:
- The surgical procedures will cost anywhere between Rs. 2,25,000 to Rs. 7,00,000.
- Whereas for dieting-related consultation it can vary from rs. 1,200 to rs. 20,000.

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.

Female | 19
Hey there! Do you struggle gaining weight despite healthy eating and exercising? It's okay; sometimes metabolism slows down. Your body may not burn calories quickly. Hormonal imbalances or stress could cause it too. Make sure to get enough sleep. Drink plenty of water. Manage stress levels well. Consider consulting a dietician or trainer for personalized tips.

To gain weight in a healthy way, focus on eating more nutritious, calorie-dense foods like nuts, seeds, and whole grains. Regular exercise, especially strength training, can also help build muscle mass. It is best to consult a dietitian or nutritionist to create a personalized plan.

How to lose weight without being too skinny ?
Female | 18
Healthy weight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies require some fat reserves for energy and warmth. Excessive thinness can cause fatigue, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume balanced meals with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad diets or skipping meals completely. Gradual and steady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample water, and get sufficient sleep while losing weight healthily.

Which vitamin is best for gaining weight
Male | 18
Gaining weight can be supported by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels. If your body is low in vitamin D, it may struggle to gain weight. Signs of deficiency include tiredness and frequent illness. To boost your vitamin D, consume fatty fish, and fortified cereals, and get daily sunlight exposure. Keeping your vitamin D levels up is essential for healthy weight gain.

How can I loose weight quickly if slimming world and weight watchers are not helping and I struggle to loose weight on my own
Female | 21
Losing weight can be tough, but don't worry, there are other ways to help. Until quick weight loss, you could continue healthy nutrition and maintain physical activity. Additionally, the reasons for being overweight are not only overeating but also health problems such as an impaired metabolic system. On the other hand, if the weights are not reducing, this might be because of the lack of certain medical conditions like delayed metabolism or many different hormonal imbalances. If you are unable to lose weight, visit a bariatric surgeon to find out which issues are hidden.

Female | 21
Having too much salt, not being active enough, and having a health condition are among the many things that can cause these symptoms. To solve this problem, you should eat foods with less salt content, move around more often, and drink a lot of water. If the swelling persists then it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.

Causes: excessive fatty food intake, insufficient physical activity. Prevent bloating: eat slower, avoid fizzy drinks, consume more fruits, vegetables. Combat obesity: increase exercise, choose healthier options like fruits, veggies, lean proteins. Small lifestyle modifications can significantly impact.

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.

My mother is suffering from overweight. Can she have a liposuction therapy as she is in her early 50's.
Female | 49
Liposuction or literally ‘sucking out fat’ is a suboptimal therapy for OBESE patients who desire weight loss. Liposuction can be considered as a treatment option for body sculpting, or slightly overweight patients who need to shape their abdomen in a particular manner. However, if one is obese, liposuction will cause a disproportionate loss of fat over the tummy, and leave space for fat re-accumulation in the future.
There are many weight loss options for a proportionate weight loss, eg. diet, exercise, or medications.
The healthier or ‘more natural’ way to lose weight in obese patients (with a BMI of more than 30 kg/m2) is bariatric or metabolic surgery, wherein the stomach is re-sized or bypassed using keyhole surgery. This surgery causes proportionate loss of fat all over the body up to 80% of the excess body weight, over a period of 1-1.5 years. This surgery is a safe and effective option if done by a certified surgeon at a high-volume center.

i am taking some OCD and neuro medicine. now i want to loss weight . suggest me any medicine or product according to my condition.
Female | 21
Weight loss supplements can be tricky, especially for those suffering from OCD and neuro medications. Products have the potential to enhance one’s current medication, resulting in reactions that are not only unpleasant but also annoying. It’s preferable to try healthy nutrition and consistent physical activity to control your weight. Consult your doctor for a diet plan that is tailored specifically to your problems and situation and your health condition.
