Overview

Multidisciplinary approach to obesity offers the best results for a long-term sustainable weight loss. A successful weight management program requires a combination of the following:

• Low calorie diet
• Regular exercise
• Lifestyle modification
• Management of associated co-morbid conditions
• Surgical intervention (if required)

Hence at the University Surgical Centre, we have developed a program to meet the special needs of our patients. All our patients are managed by a dedicated weight management team comprising of physicians, surgeons, dieticians and physiotherapists. Patients who may require assessment for treatable causes and complications of obesity get to visit our endocrinologist. Our dietician has individual sessions with patients to assess their dietary needs and will design special dietary programs for weight reduction. Exercise is a vital component of any weight reduction program and here at USC our physiotherapists will tailor exercise regimes based on patient requirements.
