Hello,

See as per your query gastric sleeve or any other surgery aimed at reducing morbidity is not for every obese patient.
There are some criteria only if you fall in that group its indicated for you,
1) You have to be morbidly obese adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher.
You have not mentioned your height.
Calculate your BMI using this formula-Your weight in kg(80.7kg) divided by your height in metere square.
For eg if MR x weights 100kg and his height in 2metre then BMI=100/2*2=25kg/m2
2)Atleast one other comorbidity should be there likediabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, uncontrolled dyslipidemia asthma and joint pain.
If you don't fall in this category then follow this for a 4 weeks and you would see the change but firm determination and adherence to diet and proper exercise with supplementation is required.

Keep speed at 6.1 and start at inclination of 10 increase inclination by 1 every 2 minutes.So 10 minutes in a stretch(for you the greater the incline angle best is 15 the better would be result).Take 5 minutes rest and again repeat same thing for 10 minutes.
Take a preworkout supplement(containing 400mg caffeine) 20 minutes before tread mill.
Try lifting weights(as per your body convinience) three times a week minimum and 5 times a week maximum.
Low weight 2.5 kg with hight repititions(12-15) and 4 sets would be good to burn fat.Need not to go heavy.Just lift till failure(more the repetition better would be fat burning).
