I always felt that I have saved a person from the debacle of slow death and deterioration, whenever I performed a Bariatric or any fat surgery , as obesity is indirectly the cause for death in many cases, though clinically it is never declared.

A recollection from my article Battle of Bulge that appeared in Express Health in Sep , 2002.

Life is not fair. There will remain, at the end of a long and tiresome journey, a small percentage of patients in the trouble zone despite an honest attempt on diet, exercise and life style. For these people, when the waist like still poses a problem, then we step-in.

So, is there this magic machine in which you can step in and leave all you fat and come out slim and gorgeous? Many patients ask me this question ! I wish I had such a machine.

A series of surgical procedures are available, however for those who have massive obesity. Liposuction, Gastric by pass , Bariatric or Abdominoplasty.

All patients with morbid obesity require psychological profiling before opting for surgery. After careful exclusion and elimination, a small group will still benefit greatly from these hi-tech surgeries and emerge out of their fat shells like a butterfly emerging out of the chrysalis.

Let us join hands and march forwards to a fat-free future!
