NRIs who are living in U.S prefer to have their less cost weight loss surgery in India and feel safe in the hands of Indian obesity surgeons, Indian obesity surgeons have expertise in lap band surgery, gastric bypass surgery and other prominent weight loss surgical procedures and have proved themselves
The NRI community in the US has recognized medical tourism in India as a good help source for getting low cost weight loss surgery. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 50 lakh people falling in the overweight/obese category (as per WHO). Weight loss can range from being relatively simple to being almost unattainable, depending on several factors such as type and severity of obesity, the age and lifestyle of the individual and the psychological mindset. Indian weight loss surgery hospitals are providing solutions to these obese patients.
Obesity is excess of body fat that frequently results in significant impairment of health. Obesity results when the size or number of fat cells in a person's body increases. A normal-sized person has between 30 and 35 billion fat cells. When a person gains weight, these fat cells first increase in size and later in number. Being seriously overweight can compromise your health and shorten your life. Overweight people-particularly those who were overweight during their young adult years-die earlier than people of average weight.
Obesity causes heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer, type II diabetes, and arteriosclerosis (buildup of fatty deposits inside arteries). Obesity also increases risk of many other health problems, including gallstones, arthritis, and back pain. Severe obesity damages the body by its mechanical, metabolic and physiological adverse effects on normal bodily function. If non-surgical methods have not helped you lose weight long-term, you still have another option. Studies demonstrate that weight-loss surgery, as compared to non-surgical treatments, yields the longest period of sustained weight loss in patients who have failed other therapies. Obesity generally is determined by calculating body mass index (BMI), which measures weight for height and is stated in numbers. BMI is calculated by the weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Your BMI may also be calculated by entering your personal information into the following equation: BMI = [Weight (Kg) ÷ height (meter) ˛]
National Institutes of Health (NIH) published in JAMA concludes that obesity kills 112,000 Americans each year. Indian medical tourism is trying to decrease the rate of death due to obesity world wide by providing better facilities for weight loss surgery in India at low cost to overweight patients and that too at very low cost. Obesity experts now seem to state that, while patients with morbid obesity or malignant obesity remain at a high risk of premature death, Indian health tourism is helping the patients to get free from the emotional suffering which are the most painful parts of obesity.
American society emphasizes physical appearance and often equates attractiveness with slimness, especially for women. Such messages make overweight people feel neglected or ignored. Americans are moving towards India to get their weight loss surgery at Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore at cheap cost with advanced medical technology available at Indian weight loss surgery hospitals. Many prefer to combine their weight loss surgery in India with a visit to the 'exotic east' with their families at pleasant Indian resorts thus enjoying their medical trip to India thus killing two birds with one stone.
