Cure Obesity with Dr. Atul Peters

26/07/2025

Just like we classify diseases like cancer, obesity too is categorized into Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 based on BMI and associated health conditions.

At our centre, we follow international medical guidelines:
Class 1 (BMI 27.5–32.5): We recommend structured diet, exercise, and sometimes, intragastric balloon for those resistant to lifestyle changes.

Class 2 (BMI 32.5–37.5) with comorbidities like diabetes, BP, or joint issues: Surgery becomes a medically advised option.

Class 3 (BMI 37.5 and above): Surgery is often strongly recommended to prevent further health risks.

These aren’t personal opinions they’re guidelines from the World Obesity Federation and International Diabetes Federation.

And we follow them with compassion, structure, and science.

Most people know me from the scrubs and the scalpel.
But behind every precise incision is a life that also needs balance.

🎷 Music grounds me.
🏋️ The gym resets me.
🎹 Piano brings me peace.
🐶 And my dog? He reminds me to be present.

In a field where the pressure never really leaves, self-care isn’t indulgent. It’s essential.
I tell my patients to make time for themselves. To pause. To breathe.

So, I try to live that advice too.
Because the best version of a surgeon… is a whole human first.

I'm pretty asocial...but once in a while, it's good to break through and show up.

𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱, 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆.

As a bariatric and GI surgeon, I’ve seen something worrying over the past few years:
More patients are walking in confused, misinformed, and at times, harmed, not because they met a bad doctor, but because they first met a 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥-𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘭.

So I welcome the new regulation that mandates health and wellness influencers to display their qualifications clearly.

Because here’s what we’re really protecting:
✅ A diabetic patient who followed a detox cleanse because “someone with abs” recommended it.
✅ A young woman who stopped her medication because a page with 1M followers said “gut healing” cures everything.
✅ A bariatric candidate who nearly gave up on surgery after hearing myths from a “weight-loss coach” online.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻’𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.

Every time we make health look like a shortcut, or advice look like entertainment, we dilute the trust in real care.

If you are promoting a supplement, a surgery, a scan, tell people who you are.
Tell them what qualifies you.
Tell them if you’re being paid.

Because the internet doesn’t need more content. It needs more 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺.

Let’s bring that back.
Not for the system.
But for the people who still believe what they read online because they want to get better.

Before his next wild adventure, Labubu stopped by for a quick consult and I’m glad he did.

Turns out, even mischievous explorers need to travel light… especially when those extra snacks start showing up on the scale.

He had the same questions many of my patients ask:
✔️ Is bariatric surgery safe?
✔️ What will change afterward?
✔️ Will I still enjoy my favorite foods?

We talked about all of it honestly and openly.
Because bariatric surgery isn’t just about procedures.

It’s about understanding, planning, and choosing what’s right for you.

And sometimes, it all begins with a light-hearted conversation.

Grateful to Max Healthcare for capturing not just the profession, but the passion behind it.

In the OR, it’s about precision.
Outside, it’s about balance....music, fitness, presence, and discipline.

This journey has shaped me far beyond the scrubs.
Watch the story behind what fuels me and the lives I’m privileged to impact every day.

You Can't Always Get What You Want… (But Sometimes, You Get What You Need!)

As a surgeon specializing in bariatric and GI procedures, this classic Rolling Stones lyric often crosses my mind. Sure, nobody wishes for gallstones or weight-related health struggles, but sometimes life's unwanted notes lead us to exactly the right tune-up.

So here's to embracing the unexpected detours that lead to better health. Remember, the best music and health is made by keeping your rhythm steady!

Happy National Doctor’s Day!

“It’s healthy, right?” Not always.

Some snacks wear a healthy disguise but quietly sabotage your weight loss journey, even after surgery.

Flavored popcorn, protein bars, trail mix, makhana... They sound healthy. But hidden sugars, oils, and calories add up fast.

This carousel breaks down sneaky snacks that might be stalling your progress and gives you better, bariatric-friendly swaps to stay on track.

Because success after surgery isn’t just about eating less.

It’s about eating smarter.

Swipe through. Spot your habits. And upgrade your choices.
