attempts,such as exercise, medication, or changes in
diet.
http://www.drpradeepjain-fortis.com/

19. These weight loss procedures limit the volume of food a
patient can consume in one sitting by affecting the
digestive process, bypassing certain part of intestine, or
affecting calorie absorption rates. Dr. Pradeep
Jain explains these are not to be confused with liposuction
or other cosmetic procedures. They do not remove fatty
tissue. Rather, they restrict how much a person can eat or
absorb, and thus, leave them with a caloric deficit, and
eventually, dramatic and life changing weight loss.
Dr Pradeep Jain offers essential and honest advice and
information regarding all areas of weight loss surgery. We
provide you with the right tools and educate you how to
achieve and get the very best from your weight loss
surgery.
http://www.drpradeepjain-fortis.com/

20. If your GP thinks that weight loss surgery is right for you,
you'll be referred to a specialist weight loss team. Dr
Pradeep Jainwill assess you to decide if weight loss
surgery is the right step to take. The consultant should
explain more to you about the different types of surgery.
They should also discuss the weight loss that can result,
and the changes to your lifestyle that you will need to
make afterwards.
There are a variety of procedures under the umbrella
of "bariatric surgery." Generally, there are three
different categories. Restrictive procedures. A surgeon
uses vertical sleeves or gastric banding to physically
change the volume of food a patient can eat at once. He
or she will do so by reducing the actual size of the
stomach organ, or the size to which it can expand while
eating.
