Morbid obesity

Symptoms of morbid obesity include excessive fat accumulation, especially around the abdomen. It causes breathlessness, heavy sweating, joint pain, back pain, poor sleep, sleep apnoea, fatigue, and frequent snoring during daily activities.

Diagnosis of morbid obesity includes reviewing symptoms and medical history, calculating BMI, and measuring waist circumference. Blood tests help detect related conditions such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, or heart disease. Manipal Hospitals’ weight gain treatment in Jaipur uses a multidisciplinary approach to create personalised management plans for patients with morbid obesity.

Treatment for morbid obesity includes lifestyle modification, prescribed anti-obesity medications, behavioural therapy and psychotherapy. Weight loss procedures, including Endoscopic weight loss procedures and Bariatric Surgeries, are also recommended to achieve long-term outcomes.

Patients seeking obesity treatment in Jaipur can expect a comprehensive treatment plan supported by a multidisciplinary approach and the latest technologies. Initially, the diagnosis begins with a thorough consultation with a specialist and a registered dietician. To prompt weight loss, low-calorie diet plans are recommended, along with exercise regimens and cognitive-behavioural therapy. Registered dietitians and nutritionists design tailored meal plans to promote weight loss and manage underlying medical conditions. Physiotherapists design customised exercise programs to enhance overall fitness levels. 

When these measures don’t provide the recommended weight loss, Endoscopic Weight Loss procedures may be considered. These procedures, including Sleeve Gastroplasty and Intragastric Balloon, help limit the stomach’s capacity. For long-term weight loss, Bariatric Surgeries, including Gastric Bypass Surgery, Sleeve Gastrectomy, and Gastric Band Surgery, are recommended. 

After treatment, patients are provided guidance on healthy eating, portion control, reading food labels, exercising, and lifestyle changes. They are counselled for behaviour change and setting realistic goals.  Follow-up appointments are crucial in monitoring patients' progress, including weight loss and improvements in underlying medical conditions. Patients seeking weight gain treatment in Jaipur can expect a multidisciplinary healthcare team providing comprehensive support through surgical, dietary, and psychological interventions.
