Heyyy I am 19 year old guy with a height of 5'4" and weight is 100 kg and especially the lower part of my body is very fatty like thighs and hips , could you please tell me the estimate of the surgery if i want to have to remove fat

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.
       

For more information regarding obesity treatment, you can visit experts - Dietitian/Nutritionists, let us know if your city is different, and drop us a message if you have any other concern!

 

To pick a suitable specialist, discuss/look-out for these aspects:

  • Past experiences & success rates.
  • Common side effects & risks of such procedures.
  • Pre-treatment preparations & post-treatment care.
  • Candidate eligibility to undergo these treatments.
  • Revision course in case you run into risks &/or achieve undesirable outcomes -- or correction course in case you are ineligible to undergo this operation in future.
  • Detailed information about how they will perform these treatments & what outcomes they intend to achieve (permanent cure/reducing the degree of problem/preventing further progress).
  • Pay utmost attention to hygiene and sterilized tools - as unsterilized equipment can cause infection.

Female | 33

It may seem to you that some health problems are a result of the quick loss of weight after the delivery of a baby. Being dizzy, having less breath, and feeling tired can be some signs that your body is trying to tell you it's not yet ready to recover. Eating healthy foods, keeping yourself hydrated, and getting enough sleep are the things that are of utmost importance.

I don't gaining weight ( really tired of myself) and I'm a footballer too...

Male | 20

If you feel tired and don’t see any increase on the scale, it could be that you’re not eating enough to fuel your body. You should eat more calories than the average person because of how much running around you do on the field. Make sure to have a lot of carbs, protein, and healthy fats in each meal so you get all the nutrients necessary for good performance. Consider creating a menu with a nutritionist that supports your energy needs.

After delivery i reduced my weight what to do

Female | 25

The reason for your body weight change will often be the hormones, the activity of your metabolism as well as excess water lose. If you have dropped those pounds and feel uncertain about it, then it's the dietary and the exercise part of it that needs to be investigated. Here, it should be nonnegotiable to see to it that you are eating a balanced diet with your food groups. Simple low-impact exercises are yet the light at the end of the tunnel you should pay attention to.

Hi. I'm a 24 year old male from the UK. I have been dealing with severe brain fog, shortness of breath, palpitations, forgetfulness and I am very obese (200kg). I am very concerned about the fatigue as it's not like me to feel like this. I got a blood test and vitals checked last month and everything is normal except I have mild LVH caused by my weight and my doctor isn't really that concerned. She just said I can reverse it by losing weight, I also have severe iron deficiency without anaemia as my haemoglobin is normal but my iron serum level is 5.4. My vitamin D levels are also very low. My concerns right now is I'm starting to feel stupid everyday and the fatigue is really concerning me. Can you give me some advice please?

Male | 24

I'm glad you reached out about your concerns. The symptoms you're experiencing, including fatigue and cognitive challenges, can often arise from factors like obesity, iron deficiency, and low vitamin D levels. Addressing your weight through gradual lifestyle changes—incorporating healthier eating habits and regular physical activity—may improve your overall well-being and help reverse mild left ventricular hypertrophy. Additionally, consider discussing iron supplementation and vitamin D with your healthcare provider, as these may alleviate your symptoms. It's important to prioritize your health, so don't hesitate to seek further advice from your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.

How to lose weight without being too skinny ?

Female | 18

Healthy we­ight loss involves burning fat, not muscle. Our bodies re­quire some fat rese­rves for energy and warmth. Exce­ssive thinness can cause fatigue­, frailty, and illness susceptibility. To slim down properly, consume­ balanced meals with fruits, veggie­s, whole grains, and lean proteins. Incorporate­ regular physical activities like walking, cycling, or swimming. Avoid fad die­ts or skipping meals completely. Gradual and ste­ady weight reduction is crucial. Stay hydrated by drinking ample­ water, and get sufficient sle­ep while losing weight he­althily.

Which vitamin is best for gaining weight

Male | 18

Gaining weight can be supported by maintaining adequate vitamin D levels. If your body is low in vitamin D, it may struggle to gain weight. Signs of deficiency include tiredness and frequent illness. To boost your vitamin D, consume fatty fish, and fortified cereals, and get daily sunlight exposure. Keeping your vitamin D levels up is essential for healthy weight gain.

Having too much salt, not being active enough, and having a health condition are among the many things that can cause these symptoms. To solve this problem, you should eat foods with less salt content, move around more often, and drink a lot of water. If the swelling persists then it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.

It's natural to feel concerned about your weight, but remember that everyone's body is unique. It's important to focus on your health rather than comparing yourself to others. Visit a nutritionist or a dietitian who can guide you on a healthy diet and lifestyle.
