Life today moves at a fast pace, and many individuals caught in the daily grind of work and life find themselves facing serious health issues such as obesity, weight gain, and other chronic illnesses. This makes it challenging for them to maintain a balanced lifestyle. In such cases, expert guidance is essential, and the field of bariatrics plays a crucial role in managing these health conditions.

As awareness of the health risks associated with obesity and the availability of bariatric procedures increases, more individuals are seeking consultation and treatment. The rising prevalence of obesity in India, driven by changing lifestyles and dietary habits, has led to an increased demand for weight management solutions, including bariatric surgery. The broader weight management market, which encompasses diet plans, exercise programs, and weight loss medications, indirectly reflects the growing demand for bariatric consultants.
