Bariatric/weight loss surgery is the only valid treatment option that leads to sustained
weight loss in patients suffering from clinically severe obesity. Most people who suffer
from obesity have usually tried all methods to lose weight without success before they
consider surgery.
Bariatric surgery is recommended for people who are suffering from morbid obesity (if
they are more than 30 to 35 kg above their ideal body weight). Bariatric surgery is also
a very good treatment option for obese people who suffer from type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Surgery leads to significant improvement in diseases associated with obesity such as-
diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, knee joint pains, PCOD, obstructive sleep
apnoea, fatty liver disease, infertility and so on.
Bariatric surgery is the only way people can lose massive amount of weight. It is also
easier to maintain the weight loss after surgery than after any other method of losing
weight. Surgery also leads to a significant improvement in the quality of life of these
patients.
On a daily basis, we see patients who put in their heart and soul into their efforts to
lose weight. They have been to every weight loss clinic, celebrity dieticians, gyms,
yoga gurus and weight loss retreats. Unfortunately, more often than not, they meet with
disappointment and tend to yo-yo between weight loss and weight gain. This entire
process is extremely disheartening and demotivating for the patients.
So, if you have tried hard to lose weight without success and the weight is bearing you
down, you have come to the right place because bariatric surgery is the only way at the
moment that can lead to sustained weight loss in patients suffering from morbid obesity.
