There is a widespread misconception among Indians that restricting diet and food intake can help in overcoming morbid obesity. But more often people fail in their endeavor to lose weight through diet control and exercise
Proper diet and regular exercise are important to maintain a healthy body but these steps cannot help in fighting morbid obesity and sometimes extreme restrictions on diet can render your body weak and lead to other health problems
There are many different ways to manage weight, but which is better for maintaining long-term weight loss? Answer to this question is bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a proven medical procedure for effective and long-term weight loss and can resolve many other obesity-related health disorders.
Bariatric surgery, regardless of the method used, is much safer nowadays than it was even a decade ago and will not stop you from eating anything that you like and even you can walk on the same day of surgery with no pain and will not face any issues in daily routine.

• Bariatric surgery isn’t safe for older adults.
