Bariatric Endoscopy is the most suited weight loss procedure for young obese people

Bariatric Endoscopy is the most suited weight loss procedure for young obese people

Dr. Maydeo & Dr. Bhandari bring it to ENLITEN, with dedicated centers across the country

Mumbai: To help young urban Indian fight obesity, famous Mumbai based gastroenterologist Dr. Amit Maydeo, and Dr. Mohit Bhandari, globally renowned Bariatric Surgeon have come together to launch bariatric endoscopy centers- ENLITEN. These centers will be a boon for the ones with obesity and visceral fat (a type of body fat that's stored within the abdominal cavity. The doctors’ duo has already performed 157 Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) procedures and the number is growing. They shared the information while addressing media fraternity on the eve of launch of ENLITEN in Mumbai.

Dr. Mohit Bhandari is Founder Director and Chief Surgeon at Mohak Bariatrics & Robotics, Indore whereas Dr Amit Maydeo is the Chairman of Baldota Institute of Digestive Sciences, Global Hospital, Mumbai.

Dr Mohit Bhandari, having performed Asia’s highest number of Bariatric Surgeries Said, “I introduced the procedure in India in 2017, and have performed ESG on 52 female and 41 male patients. On June 13^th, I will perform this procedure on the 100^th patient. Overweight people in 20-40 age group, especially the ones following sedentary lifestyle, are opting for ESG. I am a Bariatric & Metabolic surgeon and while I have performed more than 12,000 bariatric surgeries, the thought of introducing the non-surgical procedure arose because in my practice I meet a lot of patients who

·       want to lose around 15-20kg weight and/or are afraid to undergo surgery.

·       Low BMI Diabetics

·       Have regained weight after bariatric surgery

Impacts of hormonal changes and professional health hazards are few other reasons. Then there are obese young girls finding it difficult to get married or conceive. ENLITEN is the ray of hope for them all. Also, with Endoscopic technique patients who have underwent bariatric surgery but have not had the desired result or have regained some weight can now undergo that weight loss by this Endoscopic revision procedure.”

According to Dr. Bhandari, along with weight loss, it can also improve other conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), heart disease or stroke, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. “ENLITEN, our new endeavor shall commit to establish bariatric endoscopy centers of international standards, across the country. With our joint expertise, we aim to create standards to bring best patient outcomes with utmost quality care”, he concluded.

Dr Amit Maydeo, Director, ENLITEN said “ESG is a non-surgical procedure where the patient gets discharged just after a day’s stay in the hospital. It is carried out using an endoscope, a flexible tube with a camera and an endoscopic suturing device attached. The tiny camera allows the doctor to carry out the procedure without making incisions. The sutures placed in the stomach modify the stomach structure thereby restricting the amount of calories the body absorbs. Starting with a liquid diet to semi-solid foods, and then to a regular healthy diet, the patient resumes the normal lifestyle in about a few weeks.”

He explained that ESG has many advantages like stomach function, anatomy and physiology remain normal. It is less expensive than bariatric surgery and can help one get rid of 15 to 20% of overall body weight. It is noteworthy that a loss of just 10% of total body weight reduces co-morbidity risk like heart problems by 90%. ESG is a restrictive procedure and the size of the stomach is reduced by 50%, the patient feels full early and won’t be hungry for a long time. “I have done 62 procedures till now, in which 80% were females, and 20% males” he added.

About Obesity:

According to the World Health Organisation’s factsheet published in the year 2018, more than 1.9 billion adults, and 18 years and older, were overweight, in 2016. Of these over 650 million were obese. 39% of adults aged 18 years and over were overweight, and 13% were obese, whereas, 41 million children under the age of 5 were overweight or obese in 2016. Speaking about the Indian scenario, the figures published by the World Obesity Federation in Paediatric Obesity in the year 2016, suggest that if the current trends continue, by 2025, 268 million school-aged children (age 5 years to 17.9 years) worldwide will suffer excess bodyweight including 91 million who will have obesity. 

Obesity incidences are rising in India at an alarming rate. It may affect the other organs of the body, and the patient may go into metabolic syndrome (it refers to a set of disease risk factors that appear to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes). Over the last 15 years, gets type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems are rising in people with smaller body mass index (BMI), in Asian and Indian population. In India, a BMI of 25-29, is categorized as overweight and 29-33 as type 1 diabetes. Even if the BMI is less, the visceral fat (a type of body fat that's stored within the abdominal cavity), and central obesity (occurs when excessive abdominal fat around the stomach and abdomen has built up), can be present.  8 in 10 women have visceral fat which is harmful as it can promote long-lasting inflammation and increase the risk of chronic disease.

To cut down kilos, people opt for bariatric surgery which is a drastic procedure. While doing a gastric bypass or a sleeve gastrectomy, the stomach is cut partly. It also involves stapling, and joining, and can cause complications along with nutritional deficiencies, even when the weight loss occurs. Furthermore, Bariatric Surgery is suited for patients who need to lose a significant amount of weight (80% of excess body weight loss) and all other measures to control it have failed. There are many such patients who are in the bracket of overweight to obese and are not recommended bariatric surgery but want lose those extra kilos - endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty can be a new solution for them.

·      Maintaining fitness is a key need for young urban Indian but for their sedentary lifestyle

·      They also want to feel and look fit, travel, work, marry, grow family and live their life

·      To help the young urban Indian with ESG procedure, renowned specialists, Dr. Amit Maydeo and Dr. Mohit Bhandari have launched‘ENLITEN’.

·      ESG is safe, brings fast results, needs minimum hospitalization, causes no scars or cuts & ensures sustained weight loss.

·      Soon the ENLITEN centers will come up in Indore, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi and other Tier 1 cities

I don’t decide what happens in my life, I allow my life to happen to itself” says Bijay J Anand.

I don’t decide what happens in my life, I allow my life to happen to itself” says Bijay J Anand.  

“It is my Karma to teach yoga and heal as many as I can in my lifetime and it is my passion that has driven me back to my first love, acting” says Kundalini Yoga guru and actor Bijay J. Anand.

Versatility is his second name and his intense looks do all the talking. A name to reckon with in Bollywood today, film and web series producers are queueing up to sign the actor.

Despite being paired opposite Kajol for the super-hit blockbuster ‘Pyar to Hona Hi Tha’, Bijaywalked away at the peak of his career in the 90’s and refused 22 films at that time.

When asked why, he says that he simply followed his intuition and quit the industry to follow his passion for art and yoga.

Until, 17-years later he made his comeback as Janak in ‘Siya Ke Ram’ for which he smiles and says was, “A role that I, as a yoga teacher and spiritual healer just could not refuse”.

With the critical acclaim he was showered with for that role along with a slew of award nominations for it, there came an avalanche of offers out of which Karenjit Kaur where he playedSunny Leone’s father was again, “too good to say no to”.


Now, he is firmly back in the reckoning in Bollywood with offers flying in thick and fast and Bijay is happy to be reunited to be with his first love, acting.

He has currently completed a schedule for Dharma Production’s ‘Shershaah’ in which he playsKiara Advani’s father  and also as one of the principle characters in the upcoming Netflix blockbuster, ‘Bahubali – Before the beginning’.

Currently off to teach at a yoga festival in Manchester followed by another at Prague and a slew of yoga workshops in Europe, Bijay is balancing a life of love and passion and loving it all.


And what does the future hold for him?

He smiles and says, “I don’t decide what happens in my life, I allow my life to happen to itself”.
We say “Amen” to that!

Nachiket Narvekar on his experience working in Fastey Fasaatey

 Tell us about your role in Fastey Fasaatey

I play the role of Dev who is the best friend of its protagonist Aakash. Though FasteyFasaateyis all about today’s modern youngsters but it has backdrop of a traditional family who want to get their son Aakash married immediately while he tries to buy time to set his love life in order with a free spirited girl Anisha who has her own pursuits in life and is not thinking of getting married anytime soon. He has lied to his family as well as Anisha.At this critical moment of Aakash, I come from London to help him but we both get trapped in the situation. So the title of the film is FasteyFasaatey.

 How did you bag the role

This is my debut movie as an actor in Bollywood. Though I come from a Bollywood background and Iunderstand that the script is the key to a successful movie. Amit Sir knows me since long. One day he called me his office and gave me a script to read. I enjoyed reading it. When I finished its reading; he asked me, would I like to act in this Film? I was a bit surprised. I asked him which role? He not told me for which role he is considering me but he gave me two days to think and revert. Next day only I called him that I wanted to do Dev’s character though it’s of second lead but it suited my personality. He told me that he already has a guy Arpit in Aakash’s role on board and he is happy that I choose Dev’s role as he himself wanted me to offer Dev’s role.

Expectations from the film

In recent years, there has been a change in how the audiences perceive films. Now content oriented films get their way and FasteyFasaatey is a light hearted script based film. I am very positive about it.

When you are making a film, you do not know how it is going to be received by the audience. Though I have not seen the Film yet but Amit Sir showed the Film to my father (N Chandra) and my brother and both liked it. So fingers crossed.

  

Director experience

Amit Sir was very clear about his Film and its script. He also gave us bound script three months prior to the shooting. We also did a lot of acting workshops with all the actors before going to the shoot. It was a well-planned professionally managed shooting experience for me. Being a debutant actor he made sure to give me my space as an actor. 

  

Co stars experience

Working with Arpit chaudhary and Karishma Sharma and all other actors was a great experience. It was great working with all of them. We didn’t need any ice-breaking as we all knew each other well during our acting workshops and we all gelled really well. I got to learn so much from all of them. I have a lot of scenes with Arpit and Karishma and we got to work very closely while filming.

मुंबई, नवी मुंबई, रायगड आणि ठाणे येथे 75हून अधिक दालने खुली

मुंबई 2019 – मोबाईल हॅण्डसेट्स आणि संबंधित उत्पादनांचा वापर करणाऱ्या प्रत्येकाच्या दारात आता ऑफलाईन सेवा प्रदान करण्यासाठी अनोखा ऑनलाईन शॉपिंग अनुभव ओ-लाईन-ओ या ब्रॅण्डने आणला आहे. अनुभवी रिटेल व्यावसायिकांच्या समुहाने सुरू केलेल्या ओ-लाईन-ओ या ब्रॅण्डने 75 हून अधिक दालनांत आपल्या अनोख्या सेवा पुरवण्याचे ध्येय बाळगले असून सध्या ही दालने मुंबई, नवी मुंबई, रायगड आणि ठाणे या ठिकाणी उभारण्यात आली आहेत, ज्यांची संख्या सातत्याने वाढतच आहे. ऑफलाईन रिटेल सेवांसोबत ऑनलाईन मोबाईल शॉपिंगचा आनंद ग्राहकांना देण्यासाठी ओ-लाईन-ओचा जन्म झाला. तंत्रज्ञान आणि अनुभव या दोहोंचे प्रतिनिधित्व हे व्यासपीठ करते. 75 हून अधिक रिटेल दालनांसोबतच, वेबसाईटच्या स्वरुपात या व्यासपिठाने क्लाऊड स्टोअरही सुरू केले आहे.

संपूर्ण ऑनलाईन अनुभवासह लोकांच्या खरेदीच्या सवयीही बदलल्या आहेत, जो गेम चेंजर ठरला आहे. आरामदायीपणा आणि अनुभव या दोन गोष्टींवर शॉपिंग अवलंबून असते. केवळ एका क्लिकवर ऑनलाईन शॉपिंगमुळे आपण शेकडो उत्पादनांचा आस्वाद घेऊ शकत असल्यामुळे, ऑनलाईन खरेदीदार ऑनलाईन शॉपिंगलाच अधिक प्राधान्य देतात.

हा ऑनलाईन खरेदीचा अनुभव अधिक समृद्ध करण्यासाठी ओ-लाईन-ओतर्फे ग्राहकांना पुढील सेवांचा संच देण्यात येत आहे –

·         शेकडो उत्पादनांची उपलब्धता केवळ एका क्लिकवर

·         यूजर्स आणि ग्राहकांसाठी ऑफलाईन यूजर इंटरफेस

·         किंमतीला न्याय देणारी उत्पादने

ग्राहकांसाठी रिटेल दालनांचा व्यक्तीगत अनुभवच केवळ ओ-लाईन-ओ आणत नाही तर, ही उत्पादने ग्राहकांच्या दारात आणण्याचे कामही हे व्यासपीठ करते. दोन्ही व्यासपिठांमधील सर्वोत्कृष्ट गोष्टी ग्राहकांपर्यंत पोहोचवणे, हा यामागचा उद्देश असतो.

ओ-लाईन-ओ नेक्सस इंडिया प्रायव्हेट लिमिटेडचे व्यवस्थापकीय संचालक श्री. विभूती प्रसाद यांच्या कल्पनेतून ओ-लाईन-ओचा जन्म झाला. मुंबई मोबाईल रिटेलर्स वेल्फेअर असोसिएशनचेही ते अध्यक्ष आहेत. गेल्या दोन दशकांत त्यांनी भारतातील मोबाईल रिटेल क्षेत्राला अनेक क्रांतीकारी वळणे दिली असून या क्षेत्रात त्यांचे नाव मानाने घेतले जाते. आपल्या ओ-लाईन-ओ या नव्या व्यासपिठाबाबत बोलताना श्री. विभूती प्रसाद आनंद व्यक्त करत सांगतात, “गेली अनेक वर्षे मी तंत्रज्ञान आणि रिटेल क्षेत्राशी संबंधित आहे. सर्वांत किफायतशीर व सुयोग्य उत्पादने व सेवा ग्राहकांना सर्वाधिक स्वस्त किंमतीत उपलब्ध करून द्याव्यात, असा माझा विश्वास आहे. ग्राहकांना सर्वोत्कृष्ट तंत्रज्ञान आणि अनुभव प्रदान करण्यासाठी ओ-लाईन-ओ हा उपक्रम सुरू करण्यात आला आहे. दर्जेदार उत्पादने व सेवा यांसाठी आम्ही आतूर असतो. म्हणूनच, ओ-लाईन-ओ या अभूतपूर्व मोहिमेचे धोरण व विचार जोपासण्यासाठी आम्ही आमच्या कर्मचाऱ्यांनाही खास प्रशिक्षण देत आहोत.

ओ-लाईन-ओ बद्दल थोडेसे..

ऑफलाईन रिटेल सेवांसोबत ग्राहकांना ऑनलाईन मोबाईल शॉपिंगमधल्या सोयीस्करतेचा आनंद द्यावा, या हेतूने ओ-लाईन-ओची स्थापना करण्यात आली. ऑनलाईन शॉपिंग अनुभव ऑफलाईन डोअरस्टेप डिलीव्हरीसह ग्राहकांना देण्याचा प्रयत्न ओ-लाईन-ओ हे व्यासपीठ करते. अनुबव रिटेल व्यावसायिकांच्या समुहातर्फे सुरू करण्यात आलेल्या ओ-लाईन-ओ या व्यासपिठाच्या मुंबईतील 75 हून अधिक दालनांच्या माध्यमातून शहराच्या कानाकोपऱ्यात सेवा पुरवली जाते.

ग्राहक समाधानाच्या जोरावर ओ-लाईन-ओ कार्यरत असून याच कारणास्तव हा सेवाधारित ब्रॅण्ड म्हणून नावारुपाला येत आहे. ओ-लाईन-ओकडे मुंबईतील 75 हून अधिक दालने सांभाळणाऱ्या 39 रिटेलर्सची फळी तैनात असून दरमहा 33 कोटी रुपयांचा महसूल यातून मिळतो. ओ-लाईन-ओशी संलग्न प्रत्येक रिटेलरला टेलिकॉम उद्योगक्षेत्राचा किमान 20 वर्षांचा अनुभव आहे. 2019 च्या दिवाळीपूर्वी एकूण 200 दालने उभारण्याचा आमचा विचार आहे. ग्राहकांना व्यक्तिगत खरेदीचा अद्वितीय अनुभव देण्यासाठी आम्ही संपूर्णतः कटीबद्ध आहोत.
