Many people are increasingly opting for liposuction to lose weight. But it is not always a safe and proper solution to the problem of obesity. A lot of women and some men are opting for liposuction to remove excess fat from the abdomen, buttocks, breasts or chest. It involves surgery and a fairly large amount of money and post-surgery recovery period. Is this the answer for the ever increasing weight and obesity problem? Liposuction seems like an overnight remedy to obesity and is often referred to as makeover. But is it really a safe and permanent solution to the problem?
It has been noted that individuals go through certain severe experiences after liposuction. Sometimes the body experiences shock or traumatic effects. In many cases individuals have had heart attcks too following the surgery and others have developed diabetes.
Besides this, there is no guarantee that liposuction is a permanent solution to fat removal. Many a times a person gains weight in the same part of the body from where the fat had been removed in the surgery. Research shows that the location of fat deposition in a person’s body is genetically determined. If there is a family pattern of heavy arms or thighs or bulging abdomen and if the person gains weight two or three months after the surgery, fat will automatically get deposited in the exact same location of the body on which the surgery was done.
The hard fact is that anyone who puts on excess weight, even during pregnancy, it is because of some carelessness or lack of discipline in the lifestyle either in food intake or regular physical activity. It could also be due to some accident or illness when a person becomes bedridden and therefore gains weight. There is no easy solution to losing weight and even if fat is surgically removed, without any commitment to change one’s lifestyle that includes proper diet and regular exercise, one cannot fight obesity permanently.
But it takes some time to achieve results through exercise and maintaining proper food-habit. Exercising regularly, eating fat free food and consuming lots of water will surely yield wonderful and beneficial solution. No matter how old or what stage of life one is at, a proper and strict lifestyle will help everyone shed at least 2-3 kgs of weight in a month’s time. So, it is possible to lose weight by following a strict regime but one must make up his mind. We are very disciplined when it comes to work and career. It is high time we became disciplined about our body too.

My situation evolves more around diabetes but exercise and dieting is a very important part of a diabetics life. Cardio exercise can help not only control your blood sugar but your blood pressure and weight as well. Actually I think exercise can probably help a lot of medical conditions that people have today.
But, as you say, going to the gym for a week and saying ah, this doesn’t work or exercising for two weeks missing a day, feeling bad and not going back are the wrong things to do. Exercise and dieting properly must become a part of your daily lifestyle. Don’t feel bad if you miss a day. Nobody is perfect.
