Obesity is a major health problem at present. A medical journal ‘The Lancet’ in 2016 stated that there are about 30 million obese Indians. It is expected that by 2025, this number will cross 70 million. People adopt various measures to overcome this situation but they attain little success. Excess weight and obesity is a condition
that triggers lifestyle-related ailments that can eventually turn fatal.

Dr. Debashis Dhar, Group Vice President, GPT Healthcare (ILS Hospitals) informed BE, “A proper diet and exercise is the key to a healthy lifestyle. This is also the key to reach and maintain an appropriate weight.” He added, "Bariatric surgery that has been a proven method to help people suffering from morbid obesity." ILS Hospitals has been a pioneer in this area and has helped hundreds of patients to overcome morbid obesity and lead a healthier life.

healthy weight loss programmes. Dr. Dhar stated, “Here doctors would typically look at surgical interventions
as the last resort.”
