The clinic will offer solutions to reduce excess body weight to improve mobility, improve overall health and tone body shape. Obesity is an excess of the total body fat, which results from caloric intake that exceeds energy usage.
“Morbid Obesity if left untreated can lead to life threatening diseases like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, sleep apnea and certain types of cancer. Bariatric surgery is one of the most sustained weight loss techniques compared to other weight loss methods such as dieting. It is a very safe and effective way of losing weight when other techniques have failed”, said Dr Ravishankar Bhat, Senior Consultant, MBBS, MS, DNB, MCh, and FRCS, from Gastro-Intestinal & Liver Transplant Surgery Department.
There has been a drastic increase in obesity in India, followed by modernisation and changing lifestyle among people which will result in a greater need for treatment in the coming future. The Weight Loss Clinic in Bangalore is aiming to cure obesity for the patient’s physiological as well as psychological well-being.
