500 obesity surgeons & 25 foreign experts with more than 50 International delegates attend 20th annual conference of Obesity & Metabolic Surgery Society of India; live bariatric surgeries streamed from Nanavati hospital

“Obesity is primarily caused by poor eating habits and a lack of physical activity. These people are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, fatty liver, and have a heart attack. The only way to avoid these potentially fatal diseases is to maintain a healthy lifestyle and lose weight. Those who are unable to do so can benefit from bariatric surgery, which is extremely safe and effective,” said Dr Abhay Agrawal, Organising Chairman.

The conference is also demonstrating how the registry, robotics, artificial intelligence, and medical apps will change the way that bariatric practise is done in the future.

“This conference aims to emphasise the fact that obesity clinics all around the world are increasingly using a multidisciplinary approach. This three-day conference has a greater presence of allied health practitioners. To this purpose, workshops on a holistic approach to problems linked to fat, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, arthritis, infertility, GERD, and liver disorders, are also offered. This is in addition to the display of expert surgery, lectures on operation selection, complications, discussions on weight regain, and modifications, “said Dr Manish Motwani, Organising Secretary.

According to data from the fifth National Family Health Survey, over one in 16 women and one in 25 men in India are obese, and over the past 15 years, this number has only increased. If a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI) is greater than 30, they are deemed obese. A person’s BMI is determined by dividing their weight in kilos by their height in square metres. It’s also proved with multiple studies that any patient with a BMI of more than 30 is an absolute indication for Bariatric Surgery.
