Obesity
Obesity is the accumulation of excess fat in the body that does not respond to conventional weight loss methods. Inherited genetic factors, psychological and environmental factors can lead to obesity. It could lead to heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, reproductive, digestive and kidney disorders, some cancers, sleep disorders, bone problems and psychological problems.
Symptoms include large waist of over 40 inches in men and over 35 inches in women, and a high BMI (body mass index- weight/ height in metres2 ).
We customise treatment to suit individual patient needs. Treatment options include weight loss medications, endoscopic weight loss procedures and weight loss surgery including adjustable gastric banding, gastric bypass surgery (Roux-en Y) and gastric sleeve procedures.
These procedures reduce the size of the stomach or bypass a portion of the stomach and small intestines to limit absorption.
We offer complete pre and post-surgery support along with psychological counselling to help you deal with the issue, the procedure and the result.
Metabolic disorders
Metabolic disorder is also called metabolic syndrome. It is caused when your body develops a resistance to insulin. This resistance will not allow cells to metabolise (burn) sugar to release energy. This results in a vicious cycle of more insulin production as more sugar is accumulated in the blood. Obesity and sedentary lifestyle contribute to these disorders. This condition could lead to Type2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
Symptoms include obesity, high blood pressure and cholesterol, increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue and blurred vision.
Our experts evaluate your condition and provide customised treatment plans. Treatment options include lifestyle modifications and treatment for chronic diseases. We provide constant monitoring with regular check-ups to manage your disorder and help you lead a healthy and productive life.
