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.
       

For more information regarding obesity treatment, you can visit experts - Dietitian/Nutritionists, let us know if your city is different, and drop us a message if you have any other concern!

 

To pick a suitable specialist, discuss/look-out for these aspects:

  • Past experiences & success rates.
  • Common side effects & risks of such procedures.
  • Pre-treatment preparations & post-treatment care.
  • Candidate eligibility to undergo these treatments.
  • Revision course in case you run into risks &/or achieve undesirable outcomes -- or correction course in case you are ineligible to undergo this operation in future.
  • Detailed information about how they will perform these treatments & what outcomes they intend to achieve (permanent cure/reducing the degree of problem/preventing further progress).
  • Pay utmost attention to hygiene and sterilized tools - as unsterilized equipment can cause infection.

After delivery within a month and two drastic weight loss,severe giddiness, shortness of breath, getting tired early, Please help me out with my health

Female | 33

It may seem to you that some health problems are a result of the quick loss of weight after the delivery of a baby. Being dizzy, having less breath, and feeling tired can be some signs that your body is trying to tell you it's not yet ready to recover. Eating healthy foods, keeping yourself hydrated, and getting enough sleep are the things that are of utmost importance.

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.

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.

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.

Being able to lose weight without trying can be a sign of a health problem that you might have. Some causes thereof include hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or digestive problems. Go to a doctor to check what the problem is, as they can advise you on the suitable treatment.

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.

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.
