Obesity: no more a fear factor now!

You can definitely load up on ice-cream and French fries as long as you exercise enough to burn them off. But running to meet deadlines, whether at work place or at home has become a part of our daily routine. When people don’t have enough time to maintain a good diet, how can someone think of a scheduled workout or so? The problem of Obesity is escalating everywhere. Childhood obesity has also increased over the times. Obesity is a progressive disease which shortens life expectancy and is associated with wide range of serious medical problems.

When we think for the solution of obesity, science has definitely contributed a lot. Bariatric Surgery is one of the solutions for obesity. Dr.Manish Motwani (B-Lite Clinic, Mumbai +91 9321140405), a bariatric surgeon says, “Bariatric surgery consists of a group of surgical operations designed to achieve both meaningful and sustainable weight loss. These procedures involve surgically manipulating the stomach to reduce food intake and in some cases to reduce the absorption of calories onto the bodies.”

Cost of bariatric surgery: Cost of bariatric surgery means cost from the patient’s pocket. To discussbroadly on the cost of bariatric surgery, it is important to know the types of bariatric surgery. There are three types of bariatric surgery .These three types of bariatric surgery includes Restrictive (It is the one in which the stomach is made smaller to restrict the quantity of food that can be consumed. Another type of bariatric surgery is Malabsorptive (It is the one that involves cutting and re-routing/bypassing the part of small intestine, which is the major nutritional absorptive part. The last type of bariatric surgery is Combination or a hybrid procedure (Restrictive +Malabsorptive. It is the one which involves restricting the stomach size and bypassing part of small intestine. Thus the cost of bariatric surgery differs for different types of bariatric surgery.

Approximate cost of these surgeries would range anywhere from 2 to 5 lakhs depending on the type on surgery required, risk factors involved and other factors which are evaluated patient wise.

Obesity: a curse for an active!(B-Lite Clinic, +91 9321140405)

Are you among one who is full of life always? But remember, lack of activity can be the reason of obesity. Obesity is not less than a curse to a person who likes to live every moment of life.
Overeating, unhealthy eating habits or a poor lifestyle are also the causes of obesity. Not only these but even psychological problems and hormonal imbalance could play a part.

If you think going to gym is the sole solution to the problem then you are wrong. Gym can be a key to some extend but not in every case. India's obesity statistics shows that 17 % of the young in the age group of 14-18 in India are overweight or obese. They add to the burden of overall obesity figures in India standing at a mammoth 70 million. Further, Indians are genetically prone to accumulation of weight around the waist, a sure health risk.

As a matter of fact there are many solutions which can be tagged as the gift of advance science indeed. But how many out there are aware? How many know about Bariatric surgery? Bariatric Surgery consists of a group of surgical operations designed to achieve both meaningful and sustainable weight loss. These procedures involve surgically manipulating the stomach to reduce food intake and in some cases to reduce the absorption of calories into the body.

Dr. Manish Motwani, bariatric surgeon, has expertise in advanced laparoscopy.

Obesity - a major cause of sleep apnea

Sixty to seventy percent of sleep apnea patients are obese

One of the most dangerous problems associated with obesity is sleep apnea. The definition of sleep apnea is that the body temporarily stops breathing. Sometimes this cessation of breathing is not permanent and one can suffocate in their sleep. This is usually caused by something blocking the airway to the lungs like over sized tonsils, excess tissue in the mouth or throat. In case of obesity related sleep apnea, excess weight on the throat and chest attribute to the complications.

Sleep apnea due to Obesity is termed as Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome. This is seen as a serious risk as it puts pressure on the right side of the heart, resulting in fluid accumulation in the body. Asians are more likely than people of other ethnicities to have Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome at a lower BMI as a result of physical characteristics. It is twice as common in men when compared to women.

Some of the side effects of sleep apnea  include High blood pressure, Restless sleep, Nocturnal snorting, Gasping, Choking  etc. The worst of which could be death by choking in your sleep simply because of being overweight. Thus losing weight is the only key to fix all these problems.

As Morbid obesity and Sleep apnea is on the rise in the country, it is important to generate awareness among the common man about the ill effects of sleeping disorder due to stress and morbid obesity. We would like to pitch for a one - on – one interview with Dr. Manish Motwani, Chairman and Managing Director, Laparoscopic weight loss and General Surgeon, B – Lite Clinic.
