PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS
His prime area of professional practice is Bariatric & Metabolic Surgery to treat Obesity and its co-morbid medical conditions including Type 2 Diabetes. Metabolic & Bariatric surgeries are the only scientifically proven very safe and highly effective methods for long lasting weight loss, long term remission from type 2 diabetes and other co-morbid medical conditions in significant number of patients. There is a general lack of awareness about the physiology of Obesity and the reasons behind failure of diet control, exercise, low calorie diet products, liposuction and cool sculpting to achieve long lasting weight loss. He is interested in educating physicians, patients, general public about healthy lifestyle including healthy diet, regular food timings, regular physical exercise, adequate sleep, stress free life to prevent Obesity and Bariatric surgery to treat Obesity. He is interested in further research into the reasons why patients achieve long lasting weight loss after Bariatric & Metabolic Surgeries. Based on this we can develop non surgical methods to treat Obesity which is beneficial to several individuals suffering from Obesity who don’t come into the category of Bariatric Surgery. Many people are not aware that Metabolic Surgery is better than medical management in the treatment of type II diabetes with severe obesity. Metabolic surgery results in long term remission and in some, resolution of uncontrolled type II diabetes even in patients without severe obesity.
