10 Best Bariatric Gastric Bypass Surgery doctors in Delhi

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.

Maintaining or gaining weight can sometimes be challenging, especially at this stage. Factors like metabolism, stress, hormonal changes, and dietary habits may play a role. It's essential to assess your eating patterns—focusing on nutritious, calorie-dense foods such as nuts, avocados, and whole grains can be beneficial. Regular strength training may also help build muscle mass. Consider keeping a food diary to track your intake. If you continue to experience difficulties, I recommend consulting a bariatric surgeon for a thorough evaluation. They can provide personalized strategies and rule out any underlying health issues.
