Conversations around Type 2 Diabetes often come from a place of fatigue and confusion, especially when people feel they are doing everything right but still struggling with control.

We speak about this because, in our practice, we’ve seen how metabolic health goes beyond numbers alone. When treatment options are explained clearly, patients and families feel more confident discussing next steps with their care team.

Save this or send it to someone managing Type 2 Diabetes who may find this helpful.

Progress happens when the treatment plan is right, and the effort stays consistent.

Presenting the journey of Mr. Paras Gori, who came to us at around 130 kg with sleep Apnea and Knee Pain. Over time, his energy levels, s*x drive, and confidence dropped because of the weight. He tried multiple ways to lose weight, but the results were not consistent. He finally chose bariatric surgery when he realised his health limitations were affecting the best years of his life and career. After surgery, he has achieved meaningful weight reduction and feels healthier, happier, and more confident about his health and routine.

If someone around you is facing similar health struggles due to obesity, send them this. It may help them take the next step with clarity.

I will be speaking at a virtual panel discussion on “BEYOND DIET & DRUGS: BREAKTHROUGH ENDO BARIATRICS FOR OBESITY MANAGEMENT IN INDIA.”

As obesity and metabolic disorders continue to rise across India, many patients remain caught between lifestyle interventions that often fail to deliver sustained outcomes and surgical options that may feel invasive or inaccessible. This gap in care is increasingly visible in everyday clinical practice.

Organised by ETHealthworld in association with Boston Scientific and Endura Weight Loss Solutions, this discussion will examine how endobariatric therapies can serve as a minimally invasive bridge between medications and surgery, the importance of structured multidisciplinary pathways, and the role of innovation in advancing obesity management in India.

Loose skin is often discussed whenever significant weight loss is mentioned.

In Episode 5 of the Side Effects of Bariatric Surgery series, I talk about how skin changes are influenced by multiple factors such as starting weight, age, nutrition, hydration, and long-term follow-up. In clinical practice, this concern applies to a small group of patients, not everyone, and it is largely related to how the body is supported during weight loss rather than the surgery itself.

Share this reel with someone considering bariatric surgery and stay tuned for the next episode in the series.

Some journeys take time, trust, and the right guidance.

Presenting the journey of Nisha Shetty, who consulted me in 2022 with a weight of 173 kg and several health challenges that were affecting her day-to-day life. Before moving ahead with surgery, we spent time discussing her concerns, expectations, and readiness medically, physically, and emotionally. Her bariatric surgery was performed in 2022, followed by structured follow-ups and continuous support from my team. Today, her weight is around 100 kg, and she feels more comfortable travelling, attending meetings, and staying active in everyday life.

Share this with someone struggling with obesity and exploring solutions for a healthier life. This may just motivate them a little.

Weakness is often the word patients use, but the concern underneath is usually deeper - fear of losing control over daily life.

In Episode 4 of the Side Effects of Bariatric Surgery series, I focus on this concern in the context of how structured care, planning, and follow-up shape recovery. When discussions are grounded in medical context rather than assumptions, anxiety tends to settle and decision-making becomes clearer.

If someone you know is hesitating because of unanswered doubts around bariatric surgery, sharing perspective can sometimes be the first step forward. More to follow in this series.

Pain is often the first concern people associate with surgery, especially when bariatric procedures are discussed.

In Episode 3 of my Side Effects of Bariatric Surgery series, I address this concern in the context of current surgical practice. With minimally invasive techniques, modern anesthesia, and structured pain-management protocols, postoperative discomfort is usually mild and temporary. Persistent or long-term pain is not considered a typical outcome, and recovery improves steadily with appropriate care and movement.

When concerns about pain create hesitation or delay, accurate information becomes essential. This series is meant to help patients move past fear with clarity and confidence.

Stay tuned for the next episode.

The article brings together perspectives from multiple experts, highlighting why long-term outcomes improve when medical treatment is combined with personalized care and follow-up.
