Who is a Weight Loss Specialist?

A weight loss specialist also called a bariatrician or an obesity medicine specialist is a licensed physician who has received training in the area of medical weight loss.

A weight loss doctor can address the specific needs of an obese or overweight patient. While all doctors have training in weight loss and nutrition, an obesity medicine specialist has special training and can offer care that a general physician cannot. With the help of personalized programs, the doctor can help a person lose weight and also keep the weight off. A bariatrician is different from bariatric surgeons who perform weight loss surgery, whereas a bariatrician provides medically supervised weight loss programs.

The methods used by an obesity medicine specialist will help you lose weight which will depend on your current level of health, your preferences, and many other factors. Techniques that can be used to help achieve your weight loss goals could include exercise programs, nutritional counseling, appetite suppressants, or other medications.

What are the qualifications of a Weight Loss Specialist?

A weight loss specialistneeds to complete a five-and half-a-year undergraduate degree, followed by a three-year postgraduate course. After residency, the physician might practice for a while or apply for a geriatric medicine fellowship program.

Aspiring weight loss specialists need to obtain a 5½ years MBBS degree and then complete a 2-3 years MD course. Science students who have appeared in +2 (with physics, chemistry, and biology as main subjects) need to clear a medical entrance test. After completing the four years of MBBS course and one year and six months of mandatory training, one has to enroll in an MD course to work as a weight loss specialist.

After completing hospital residency, a weight loss doctor will need to meet the credential requirements set by the country's bariatric medicine licensing board.

After completing two to three years of MD, a weight loss specialist can work in government or private hospitals, or can also open their own clinic to provide services to patients.

To have a safer passage through a weight loss surgery journey and to minimize risks of any complications that could compromise your health and safety, your weight loss specialist will order a variety of diagnostic tests including lab tests, blood tests, and heart tests before you have weight loss procedures.

About Bariatric Surgeon

Bariatric surgeon is a doctor specialised in performing weight loss surgeries in the stomach or intestine. Surgeries performed by a bariatric surgeon helps a person with extreme obesity or overweight lose weight. They do so by performing condition specific surgeries on the stomach and/or intestine. These types of surgeries are usually an option for people with a body mass index (BMI) over 40 who have associated health issues like type 2 diabetes or heart disease.

Bariatric surgeons usually perform two basic types of surgeries namely- restrictive surgeries and malabsorptive surgeries. While restrictive surgeries involve restricting the size of the stomach and slowing down digestion, malabsorptive surgeries are more invasive in nature and are performed by removing parts of the digestive tracts that leads to interfering with the absorption of the calories.

Who should you consider visiting a Bariatric Surgeon?

You should consider visiting a bariatric surgeon if:

  • Your repeated efforts to lose weight with diet and exercise have been unsuccessful
  • Your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or above
  • You have serious weight-related health problem like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or severe sleep apnea
