Weight Loss – Non-Surgical & Surgical Approaches

Understanding the Obesity Pandemic

Obesity is a global epidemic, affecting over 1 billion people worldwide. It is no longer just a cosmetic concern but a chronic metabolic disease leading to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and reduced life expectancy.

Incidence & Prevalence of Obesity

Global Statistics: 1 in 4 adults worldwide is overweight or obese (WHO, 2023).

India: Nearly 40% of adults are overweight, and 9% are obese, with urban areas being more affected.

(LSG) – Shrinking the Stomach

How it Works:

  • Reduces hunger hormone (Ghrelin) → Feel full faster
  • No intestine bypass → No malabsorption
  • Weight Loss: 60-70% of excess weight within 12-18 months
  • Diabetes & BP Improvement: 60-70% of patients reduce or stop medicines
  • Best for: People who eat large portions & struggle with hunger
  • Removes 75-80% of the stomach, making it smaller

 (Roux-en-Y) – The Gold Standard

How it Works:

  • Creates a small stomach pouch
  • Bypasses a portion of the intestine → Absorbs fewer calories
  • Changes gut hormones → Better blood sugar control
  • Weight Loss: 65-80% of excess weight
  • Best for: Severe obesity, diabetes remission, acid reflux patients
  • Metabolic Benefits: 85% of Type 2 diabetes patients see remission!

Why is Gastric Bypass Life-Changing?

(MGB) – Faster & Simpler Alternative

How it Works:

  • Similar to gastric bypass but with a single intestinal connection
  • Less surgery time & lower risk of complications

  • Advantage: Shorter recovery time & equally effective as Roux-en
  • Weight Loss: 60-75% of excess weight
