Brief answer....losing weight by medications almost always end up in failure if regular exercises and diet is not cared
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern.
The best way to lose weight is definitely an exercise regime supplements with proper diet control.
Since you have to shed a really lot of weight,it may not be possible to achieve it of your own.Although there are various products available in market which claim reduction of weight but they are generally not FDA approved and may carry various side effects.Being a doctor,I don't approve the use of such products.
The best is to take the help of a professional physical instructor and a professional dietician. Give it a try of 6 months and see the result.
If you still fail,then best for you would be to go to a BARIATRIC SURGEON and seek his opinion regarding the surgery for loss of weight.Such type of surgery also prevents development of diabetes,hypertension and delays joints destruction.
I hope it helps,however you are most welcome to revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
