What Is Obesity and How Can We Help?
Obesity rates have increased significantly worldwide and in India, posing a significant public health concern. A person is considered obese when they have a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 30 kg/m2 and overweight when their BMI is between 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m2. If you are obese, you are more likely to suffer from other diseases, including Type-2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular diseases, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, certain types of cancer, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), osteoarthritis, anxiety and depression. Working on your obesity is critical to reducing your risk of other serious and life-threatening diseases.
If you have a BMI of more than 25 kg/m2, do not delay and visit our experts at Healthy Weight Clinic, who can help you become fit and healthy.
Endoscopic Bariatric Therapies
Endoscopic bariatric therapies (EBTs) bridge the gap between medical management and bariatric surgery. These are minimally invasive, safe, and effective options for treating obesity and its associated comorbidities.

Lose Those Extra Pounds with Our Weight Maintenance Program
If you are obese or overweight, you must consider lifestyle changes. This can be done by following a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Our multidisciplinary team will guide you through the journey with a weight management program that includes a strict diet and exercise schedule. You will also be asked to restrict certain foods, such as avoiding sugar-sweetened beverages and high-carbohydrate or full-fat foods.
Stress or anxiety can also aggravate weight gain. Hence, one can seek the help of a counsellor or mental health professional. They will help you overcome the problem or cope with it better. This will positively affect your health and help you maintain a healthy weight.
Weight Loss Medications Are Another Option
Although weight loss medications are available, they cannot replace lifestyle modifications. These medications are given to patients while they are on a diet and following a healthy lifestyle. These anti-obesity medications may not work for everyone as they can be a temporary solution to weight loss. These medications are considered after your doctor assesses your complete medical history, health status, and possible side effects.
