Dr. Anshuman Kaushal, a robotic and bariatric surgeon at Apollo Hospitals in Delhi, recently ranked seven weight-loss methods based on effectiveness and safety. He emphasizes that diet and lifestyle modifications are the best approach, allowing individuals to lose 5-8 kg without drugs or surgery. For those seeking pharmaceutical options, Ozempic and Wegovy are popular, with the former being an injectable originally for Type 2 diabetes that suppresses appetite effectively. However, both require ongoing commitment to maintain weight loss. Mounjaro, another injectable, can lead to a 22% weight loss but is costly. For those looking for non-surgical options, the Allurion Balloon offers a temporary solution that enforces portion control, resulting in a 10-15% weight loss. Lastly, bariatric surgery is highlighted as a significant intervention for severe obesity, capable of achieving 25-35% weight loss but necessitating lifelong nutritional monitoring. Dr. Kaushal concludes that choosing the right method depends on individual BMI and health conditions.
