renorenal SG Errr... it's my suggestion that you should do without medications... Xenical = Orlistat is only used preferably for patients like I told you last time in PM, who are grossly obese... Still, it is vital to keep to a controlled diet and exercise 3 times a week, 30-45 minutes per session... Running and jogging are the best exercise which burns quite a substantial amount of calories accumulated over the past few days... Keeping carbo low means you have to reduce the amount of rice you eat, the sugary drinks or gassy drinks, chocolates, sweets and hmmm... there are more of which I believe you would know Keep a healthy balanced diet... you can refer to alex for this advise... I believe he will be able to calculate the right amount of calories for you, intake, output and balance per se...

ndmmxiaomayi SG There's also a surgery for those that grossly overweight who can't shed weight despite medications, balanced diet and exercising?
renorenal SG Yes... there is a surgery to remove the short intestines to disable food absorption into the body, hence the food will travel from the stomach into the large bowels to be excreted with minimial absorption. However, most of these patients restrict their diet to fluids and very soft diet. Imagine the trauma to see you pooping what you ate... But of course, there are different surgery, depending on which small intestines you want removed...
rainee SG Eh I got question...these few days I have been feeling rather breathless and bloated after having my meals...is it because of the weather has become colder?
rainee SG never really paid any attention to it...cos I was walking to a restaurant this afternoon and it was quite chilly then I realized that it was quite hard for me to breathe, plus I feel like sth is weighting down heavily in my tummy...
renorenal SG It is possible because of the sudden change in temperature from in-house to outside the house, the sudden drop in temperature can cause a person to be almost out of breath because of the shivering one makes in attempt to generate body heat to counter the cold. If you have just eaten, digestion and absorption of food will come second to surviving the cold, hence those food are stationed temporarily in the stomach until you find a better place (warmer place) to heat up and rest...
ndmmxiaomayi SG Like that might as well don't eat. We eat to absorb nutrients, and the surgery is to minimize absorption.
renorenal SG Well, this is so because the surgery is only restricted to those who are grossly obese, and we are talking about BMI hitting more then 40 in that case. Those patients who need rapid weight loss for health risk complications. Such surgery is not indicated for those who are overweight or just in the borderline of obesity and even those who are obese. Prime methods such as exercise, nutrition wise and diet controls are used first. When these fails, medications step in as the second line, and finally the third line is through surgical approach.
