Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya
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.
