Namita Thapar highlights the need to get educated about obesity

In her Instagram caption, Namita Thapar wrote, “As I continue my mission of educating on health, today’s episode # 41 is on bariatric surgery. Please note that I am not for or against bariatric surgery. Prevention is always better than cure. But where all else fails & obesity results in massive health conditions as well as a poor life, this surgery may be the last resort & in such cases, we must educate ourselves first.”
