Understanding Obesity

Obesity is a complex, chronic medical disease involving the presence of excessive body fat. A person having a BMI of 30 or higher is usually considered to be obese.

Obesity can lead to serious medical disorders if not managed promptly and can impact the general health and quality of life of a person negatively.

SGVP Holistic Hospital offers the best obesity treatment in Ahmedabad under the expert care of the best bariatric doctors in Ahmedabad.

Causes and Risk Factors of Obesity

Obesity can develop due to various genetic, hormonal, metabolic, and behavioral factors.

The condition develops when a person consumes more calories than he or she can burn through normal daily activities and exercise. The body will store the excess calories as fat, resulting in obesity.

Some factors that can increase the risk of obesity include:

Genetics
Unhealthy eating habits
Lack of physical activity
Lack of sleep
Stress
Underlying health problems like PCOS, metabolic syndrome, etc.
Presence of physical or learning disability
Use of certain medications like steroids, antidepressants, diabetes medications, anti-seizure medications, etc.

Signs and Symptoms of Obesity

The first warning sign of obesity is having a BMI of more than 30. Obese people may also experience problems like:

Excessive weight gain
Increased sweating
Breathlessness
Snoring
Problems in performing physical activities
Fatigue
Joint pain
Back pain
Skin problems
Stretch marks
Swelling in the lower limbs
Varicose veins
Increased risk of developing chronic diseases
Low self-esteem

Diagnosis of Obesity

The doctor will measure the patient’s height, weight, and waist circumference during the consultation appointment. The patient’s BMI will be calculated by the doctor.
Body composition tests like a bone density test scan or bioelectrical impedance analysis may be performed. The doctor will ask the patient about his/her overall health and could ask questions about:
- History of medical conditions, treatments, and current medications.
- Family history of obesity.
- Patient’s weight history, including weight management methods that have been already tried.
- Lifestyle of the patient, including eating habits, physical activity, and sleep patterns.
- Stress levels of the patient.
The doctor will also check the patient’s vital signs and may order some blood tests. The patient’s complete profile is used to diagnose obesity and obesity-related conditions that may be present.

Treatment Options for Obesity

At SGVP Holistic Hospital, our expert doctors will evaluate you thoroughly and offer the most effective method for **obesity treatment in Ahmedabad** based on your needs and condition.

The common treatment options for obesity include:

Eating a healthy diet: A well-balanced diet with whole foods, lean proteins, fruits, vegetables, and portion control helps reduce calorie intake and support weight loss.
Regular exercising: It is recommended to do at least 150 minutes of any form of moderate-intensity exercise per week, such as walking, swimming, or strength training. Regular exercising aids in burning calories and improving metabolism.
Behavioral Therapy: Counseling and psychological support help address emotional eating, stress management, and lifestyle changes for long-lasting weight loss.
Medications: Certain weight-loss medicines may be prescribed by the doctor for obese people when lifestyle changes alone are ineffective in treating the condition.
Bariatric Surgery: Weight loss or bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy are options for severe obesity. These surgeries help in substantial weight loss and improvement in obesity-related health conditions.

Long-term success following obesity treatment requires continuous effort, healthy lifestyle choices, and regular medical monitoring.

Avoid processed foods
Control food portion sizes
