Very severely obese treatment
Elevators, escalators, moving side walks, motor vehicles, riding lawn mowers are all examples of how we have adapted our environment to lifestyles that demand we do more things in the same amount of time.
In addition to getting from place to place faster, we no longer have to expend as much physical energy as we previously did.
You need to lose weight urgently
The most effective way to lose weight is to adopt healthy eating habits, exercise routines, and stress management techniques.
Regular exercise and healthy eating are important, and even modest weight loss will improve your health. It is also important to learn stress management tools that can be used in place of overeating or snacking during stressful times.
Weight loss drugs
Sometimes, weight loss drugs may be prescribed. While these medications may cause weight loss, most people regain the weight once they stop taking the medication. There are many herbal and over-the-counter supplements that claim to help you lose weight, but many of these claims have not been verified.
Surgery interventions
Surgery may also be an option to treat obesity if you have tried other methods for losing weight but have not been successful in maintaining long-term weight loss.
Typically, people who seek bariatric surgery have exhausted the more conservative weight loss options without satisfactory results. The two most common surgical procedures for obesity are vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG) and gastric bypass (GB).
It can often help reduce the risk of other diseases that are associated with severe obesity.
