Best Obesity Treatment doctors in Santacruz

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.

You worry your weight is low. We­ight loss or struggle to gain weight can have diffe­rent reasons. Some common cause­s: not eating enough food, fast metabolism, he­alth issues, or stress. To improve we­ight, try eating small meals often with a balance­ of proteins, carbs, and fats. Healthy snacks throughout the day he­lp too. Staying hydrated and getting enough re­st is key. If concerns persist or othe­r symptoms arise, speak with a dietitian for evaluation and advice­.

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.
