  After my child was born, I was facing an issue with my bowel movement. As I had a normal delivery, I hardly had any complications, but this bowel issue. After three weeks of my delivery, I started facing this problem. I had a painful bowel movement. The pain persisted and got worse with time. I didn’t want to ruin the happiness of my family, so I kept it to myself. After a few days, I noticed stains of blood on my stool. My anal area started itching, and I felt a burning sensation down there. This time I got afraid and told my husband about the symptoms. He took me to our home physician without wasting time.

I have high blood pressure since my college days. I take medicines to keep it in control. My doctor always told me to lose extra weight to control my hypertension. I tried to lose weight in many ways. First, I started swimming, but due to my hectic work schedule, I could not manage to go there regularly. As a result, I gained more weight. My friend gave me a number of a dietitian, and I visited her. She made a chart exclusively for me and advised me to follow the same. She also told me to exercise regularly. Nothing worked much, and I remained fat. One day, after losing hope to get rid of obesity, I went to my doctor and told him that I had given up.

He said that bariatric surgery would help me get rid of my obesity. Thus, I would be able to control my hypertension, he added. He checked my body mass index (BMI) and told me to go f
