Before discussing losing weight without reducing food intake, first, let’s get to know “Obesity” to understand whether you fall into that category. Obesity can be calculated using the Body Mass Index (BMI) (click here), which is weight (kg) / height (m)². A BMI over 23 is considered overweight, over 25 is obese, and over 30 is very obese.
For those who calculate and find that they are in the “obesity” category, we would like to continue talking about the negative effects of excessive fat accumulation in the body, such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, snoring, etc.
Knowing this, I believe many people will hurry to find ways to lose weight for better health. But we understand that not everyone can lose weight easily, as it involves exercising, adjusting eating habits, and some even resort to fasting, which is not a recommended technique for weight loss.
The shortcut to “losing weight without dieting” we are discussing this time is Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS), specifically “Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy” or “Bariatric Surgery,” which reduces the stomach’s size and absorption. This surgery involves small incisions and fast recovery. Dr. Worawit Kattipattana, a specialist, will consider surgery based on the BMI to help patients achieve long-term weight loss. This also helps reduce medication for heart disease and diabetes in obese individuals and decreases the risk of premature death.
