Ms. Preetika Zaweri – Bariatric Surgery Testimonial India

April 17, 2021

At Mohak Bariatrics, we come across many patients whose life-transforming journey has become an inspiration to overcome obesity. Bariatric surgery involves careful consideration and consultation and a bond of trust between the patient and the team. We have had many such patients’ stories, where we have seen a complete change in our obesity-ridden patients’ physical and mental health. One such journey of determination is that of Ms Preetika Zaweri.

A dance enthusiast and teacher, Zaweri met with a fatal road accident in October 2009, injuring her hands, legs and head. The doctor suggested complete bed rest for 10 months- due to which she started gaining weight- reaching a 100 kgs mark. She started feeling helpless. Once she stood up on her feet after recovery- she could not do anything. Sadly, could not follow her passion for dancing.

Once she determined to do something for her health, she got answers. Her daughter suggested her to get bariatric surgery. Before this, Zaweri had no clue about bariatric surgery. But she decided to take a step further and booked an appointment to see a doctor in Nasik. Later, when she reached Nasik, her relative suggested that Bariatric Surgery needs consideration and proper guidance- why doesn’t she go to Indore instead to Mohak Bariatrics. That’s when she decided to come to us—Travelling Mumbai to Indore- to transform her life.

Everything went in smoothly for Zaweri. Within a day, she was able to return home as well. It was astonishing for her- that it could be so quick and effective. She has time and again told us that- the hospitality of the staff, the hygiene inside the hospital, and the amicable doctors made her feel like she is on vacation in a five- star hotel. Nothing makes us happier than to see our patients making good memories with us.

After Ms Preetika Zaweri recovered, she had a message for everyone to take a step forward to curb obesity, to go for a bariatric surgery fearlessly from Dr. Mohit Bhandari. Even at 60, Zaweri can feel she is only 40; in 3 months, she lost an unbelievable 22 kgs, her diabetes is remitted, her knee problem is solved, even her eyesight has dramatically improved. She can dance again, teach again, live again.

Childhood Obesity in India: How to Prevent your Child from Becoming a Victim

July 22, 2020

Childhood obesity has emerged as an epidemic condition and there seems to have no control over it. In the year 2000, a report given by International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) showed that about 10 percent of children in India aged between 5 and 17 were overweight (nearly 155 million), out of which 3 percent were obese (30-45 million).

India has recorded the second most number of obese children in the world while china being at first. Keeping in mind the current COVID-19 scenario that has forced children to sit at home and indulge in all sorts of junk food, becoming lethargic and spending most of their time in front of screens—obesity has become a giant monster.

The government of India (GOI) had set targets in recent years to halt the prevalence of diabetes and obesity by 2025.

Among the reasons for Childhood Obesity are increased intake of – fast food, processed food, and all the fatty foods that don’t offer any nutritional value to your children. To add to this, the replacement of outdoor activities by digital screens in the time of corona is a big contributor to obesity in children nowadays.

Prevention of childhood obesity-

Before your child becomes a victim of childhood obesity, start taking preventive measures. Here are some of the tips and recommendations that might help you-

A daily walk or bicycle routine instead of letting them slouching the whole day.
Promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Limiting the screen time of children.
Encouraging a healthy diet and nutrition.
Preparing your child’s meals in advance.
Don’t let them binge eat.
Some sort of physical activity daily.
Teach your children the benefits of exercise, yoga, and nutrition.
Make them aware of childhood obesity.
Restricting the availability of junk foods at home.

Obesity has to be controlled, and the Indian government should proactively ban some of the most harmful fast foods that promote obesity. Parents should also have to educate their children about a healthy diet and nutrition to tackle this serious issue.

Prevention, as well as timely treatment of overweight and obesity in childhood, is necessary as these children are likely to become obese adults later on. Check the BMI of your children and ask the experts for an effective weightloss method. Call for a consultation on- 6232012342

Childhood Obesity: Causes, Implications, and Preventions

July 16, 2020

Childhood obesity is increasing at a hasty rate in India, obviously due to unhealthy eating habits, a sedentary lifestyle, and increased screen time. Remember the days when children used to go out and play outdoor games? Sad that the scenario has changed and children nowadays like to stay indoors with their virtual friends and prefer to play PUBG instead of Kho-Kho or Hide and Seek.

Childhood obesity is a serious and complex health concern. It occurs when a child has a weight more than his normal or healthy weight. Excess weight that is more than his age and height contributes to childhood obesity. Genetics and community choices are also one of the main reasons behind childhood obesity.

Low self-esteem and low self-confidence
Anxiety and stress issues

Get involved in some kind of physical activity daily with your kids. It can be simply playing a game of football, walking around, or skipping a rope.
Limit the screen time of your children. Set a time. It can be one hour or two in a day. Sit with your children and watch their favorite show and have fun with them. So, they enjoy their time at the most.
Educate your children about nutrition and its importance. Encourage them to try a variety of healthy foods and figure out what they like.
