10 Best Obesity Surgery doctors in Bengaluru

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.

Unexplained weight loss can be due to various reasons like thyroid issues, diabetes, digestive disorders, or even stress. Since your medical tests haven't provided answers yet, it might be helpful to consult with a specialist like an endocrinologist or a gastroenterologist for a more in-depth evaluation. In the meantime, try to keep track of any other symptoms you may be experiencing and make sure to stay well-hydrated and nourished.

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.
