Obesity management at Manipal Hospitals begins with a detailed consultation to evaluate weight history, lifestyle patterns, eating habits, and existing medical conditions. Doctors assess body mass index, waist circumference, and obesity-related health risks. Additional investigations may be recommended to identify metabolic disorders such as diabetes, thyroid imbalance, or lipid abnormalities.
Based on the findings, an individualised obesity treatment plan is developed. Nutritional counselling focuses on balanced calorie intake and portion control. Physical activity guidance is tailored to fitness level and medical status. Behavioural strategies are introduced to support long-term lifestyle changes and prevent weight regain.
In selected cases, medicines may be prescribed to assist weight loss under medical supervision. Bariatric surgery may be discussed when obesity is severe or when complications are difficult to control with conservative measures. Regular follow-up visits monitor progress, adjust treatment, and provide continuous motivation. Comprehensive and multidisciplinary care supports safe weight reduction and long-term health improvement.
