Joining me this evening on body Talk was Mr Kesava Mannur, Consultant Bariatric Surgeon at Spire Hartswood Hospital. Mr Mannur specialises in weight loss surgery including gastric band, gastric bypass and gastric sleeve.
Mr Mannur has been a weight loss surgeon for the past 16 years and has seen a lot of new developments in that time. As well as the fact that obesity seems to be an ever increasing problem. To prevent obesity we should be paying attention to diet and exercising regularly.
For some it’s too late to prevent a weight problem and more extreme measures need to be taken, like surgery. If your BMI is more than 30 or if your waist is bigger than 40 inches for men or 35 inches for women, then you are clinically obese, and weight loss options need to be considered to protect your health and prolong your life.
Although the surgical options are extreme, there is often no alternative. When a person has reached 30 stone or more it is often too difficult to manage any kind of wight loss regime. In fact, Mr Mannur has operated on a 60 stone man who was unable to leave his bed. After surgery he was able to lose weight and start to live his life over again.
Mr Mannur also gives dietary advice and counselling before during and after surgery. to find out more about how weight loss surgery can help either contact your local GP or call Spire Hartswood to talk to Mr Mannur or another weight loss surgeon on 01277 266761.
