Overweight or obesity is now no longer known as a health issue but is listed by the World Health Organization and recognized as a disease. Obesity is a result of a number of metabolic disorders, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. It also results in several illnesses, including the risk of heart attack, stroke, breathlessness, fatty liver, depression, and multiple cancer. The quality of life is particularly problematic. Therefore, maintaining a healthy weight is very necessary and if you are obese know the choices for weight loss.

Ashok Jaiswal, 36-year-old, noticed that he had put on an additional 110kg weight in just 16 years when he realized he had become a laughing stock.  Not only his fitness was out of control, but he was also embarrassed at social gatherings because of his obesity. Jaiswal weighs 190 kg and is one of the heaviest persons of Ajmer who underwent surgery to lose his weight. Saturday was the first day he spent in his home after returning from the private hospital in Jaipur where he has undergone the surgery. “The doctors told me that my weight will be reduced significantly within six to eight months,” Jaiswal said. Jaiswal works at a private college as a kitchen storekeeper.

His obesity had impacted him from socializing. “I actually felt bad about my weight. I began to stop attending weddings with relatives and other such events. My college administration has helped me in having the surgery done financially,” Jaiswal said. Jaiswal’s inactive lifestyle has changed his life totally in 16 years. Whatever the weight loss journey one takes, a long-term, positive shift can only be introduced in the implementation of balanced diet and lifestyle interventions allows life-long changes.

In the medical center, he came with complications such as severe gastritis, articular pain, pedal edema, swelling of leg leading to leg ulcers, obesity, sleep apnea syndrome, low back pain and failure to perform his routine work normally. Dr. Ajay Sharma, gastrointestinal and laparoscopic Bariatric Surgeon in India, said that he had complications from morbid obesity in the form of a serious gastroesophageal reflux disorder.

This is one of the heaviest patients in Jaipur until now. We performed a mini Gastric Bypass Surgery in India and it is expected that its weight will drop by 50 kg in 6 months so it would be about 150 kg at the end of six months, and by 2 years it would be about 100-125 kg, said Dr. Ajay Sharma.

Bariatric Surgeon in India has also said that elderly obese patients opt for Gastric Surgery in India. 72 years old Jannat Bano’s health started deteriorating. Her weight was started pilling with growing medical problems. For years, she had looked up and down. Diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure diagnosed Jannat took a handful of pills every day. She was 120kg when we had Gastric Surgery in India last week, said Dr. Sanjay Singhal, a bariatric surgeon at the private hospital. She explored various diets, exercise classes, and food preparation techniques. She would stay with them for a while and then return to her old habits.

Jannat’s situation was close enough to that one-third of all inactive lifestyle obese or morbidly obese Indians. She had a family history of diabetes and was unable to maintain a healthy weight through diet and exercise, said Dr. Singhal.

There are many options, including medical endoscopic and surgical weight losses. But any weight loss techniques only work if you maintain a healthy diet and practice routine after your weight loss is achieved. The minimum recommended workout is at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, five days a week, while a healthy diet is high-protein, low-carb, and fiber.
