Where Dr. Anish Nihalani fits inside MWI.
Obesity as a chronic disease
The public education frame is that obesity is not a character flaw or a simple calorie math problem. It is a chronic disease shaped by biology, hormones, environment, sleep, medications, and follow-through. That lets men discuss treatment without shame.
Bariatric procedure education
Sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are not interchangeable products. Each changes the stomach and metabolism differently, carries different tradeoffs, and requires a lifelong follow-up plan.
Surgical judgment inside a broader program
Bariatric surgery can be life-changing for the right patient, but the right decision depends on candidacy, risk, reflux, diabetes, nutrition, support, and the patient's ability to commit to long-term care.
