Is Weight Loss Surgery for You?

Fortis Hospital, Bangalore, India

Weight loss surgery may be the next step for people who remain severely obese after trying nonsurgical approaches, or for people who have an obesity-related disease. Anyone thinking about undergoing this type of weight loss surgery should understand what it involves. Answers to the following questions may help you decide whether weight loss surgery is right for you. Are you:

• Unlikely to lose weight or keep weight off long-term with nonsurgical measures?
• Well informed about the surgical procedure and the effects of the weight loss surgery?
• Determined to lose weight and improve your health?
• Aware of how your life may change after the operation (adjustment to the side effects of the operation, including the need to chew food well and inability to eat large meals)?
• Aware of the potential for serious complications, dietary restrictions, and occasional failures related to weight loss surgery?

Remember: There are no guarantees for any method, including surgery, to produce rapid weight loss and maintain it. Success with weight loss surgery is possible only with maximum cooperation and commitment to behavioral change and medical follow-up and this cooperation and commitment must be carried out for the rest of your life.
