When to Consider Non-Surgical Weight Loss Image

When to Consider Non-Surgical Weight Loss

Ignoring excess weight can lead to health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. Non-surgical weight loss techniques, such as the intragastric balloon, are ideal for people who want to lose weight but are not ready or eligible for surgery. If you have been struggling with obesity and traditional methods like diet and exercise haven’t given you the results you need, this minimally invasive option may be worth considering.

These procedures are especially helpful for patients with a body mass index (BMI) of 27–35 who may not qualify for bariatric surgery, or for those looking for a less invasive alternative. They can also be used as a supportive step before surgery to help reduce risks in patients with very high BMI.

Choosing a non-surgical technique early allows you to take control of your weight safely, avoid complications, and build healthier habits for long-term success.

5-15 kgs Weight Loss
Expected over the course of the program, depending on your starting weight, age, lifestyle, and medical condition.

Gradual Progress, Lasting Results
Because changes are introduced gradually, weight loss may feel slower in the beginning. As your body adapts, progress improves and becomes easier to maintain over time.

Lifelong Maintenance
The lifestyle and diet changes recommended in this program are designed to fit naturally into your daily life, helping you maintain your results in the long run.

We follow a careful and medically guided approach to weight loss. Our team regularly monitors your progress and adjusts the program based on your response. If needed, Dr. Chirag Thakkar may recommend additional evaluation or medication support to help you achieve safe and effective results.

    Testimonials
    testimonial

    I highly recommend following Dr Chirag Thakkar's treatment for non surgical weight loss. Just 3 months earlier my weight was 82kg, but only by following my dietician Mrs Parul Thakkar my weight has come down to 75, and my stamina has also risen. I have felt a drastic change in my body.

    Jasvinder Kaur

    My mother had a Mini Gastric bypass elsewhere with complications, vomiting daily. We consulted Dr. Chirag Thakkar, who did a 24 hr pH impedance and manometry test and decided her problem could be resolved with medicine. After starting treatment at the Adroit center her vomiting stopped, nutrition improved and gradually the medicine is also reducing.

    My treatment with Dr. Chirag Thakkar was a good experience. Before treatment my condition was very bad with chest heaviness and headache. Sir advised me to change diet and lifestyle and then gave me medicine. After the treatment I had no complaints. (lifestyle and medical management)

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Non-surgical weight loss treatment includes minimally invasive procedures like the intragastric balloon that help patients lose weight without undergoing surgery. These treatments are combined with diet and lifestyle guidance for better long-term results.

    The intragastric balloon is generally recommended for individuals with a BMI between 27-35 who have not achieved sufficient weight loss through diet and exercise alone and may not qualify for bariatric surgery.

    The procedure is usually well tolerated and performed using an endoscope without cuts or stitches. Some patients may experience mild nausea or discomfort for a few days after placement, which can be managed with medication.

    Weight loss results vary from person to person depending on diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Most patients experience significant weight loss within the six-month treatment period.

    The intragastric balloon typically remains in the stomach for about six months and is then removed through a simple endoscopic procedure.

    Most patients can resume their normal daily activities within 24-48 hours after the procedure, depending on their recovery and comfort level.
