Weight Loss & Bariatric Surgery Clinic
Struggling with weight that impacts your health? When diet and exercise alone are not enough, bariatric surgery might be an option. Our clinic evaluates your health and discusses suitable weight management solutions. We aim to help you achieve lasting health improvements and a better quality of life.
About Our Weight Loss & Bariatric Surgery Clinic
Weight that affects your daily life. Joint pain, diabetes, or high blood pressure linked to obesity. These are the serious health concerns we address at our Weight Loss & Bariatric Surgery Clinic in Kilpauk, Chennai. We see patients who have tried various weight loss methods without long-term success. Our team evaluates your overall health, including your medical history and current lifestyle. We discuss conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), sleep apnoea, and joint problems (osteoarthritis) that often improve with significant weight loss. We also consider conditions such as high cholesterol (dyslipidaemia) and gastric reflux disease. The first consultation involves a detailed discussion about your weight journey and health goals. We will perform necessary blood tests and assessments to understand your metabolic health and suitability for different interventions. Our focus is on finding a safe and effective path forward for you, whether surgical or non-surgical. We take time to explain all options clearly.
At THANC Hospital, our approach to weight management is senior-consultant-led. A qualified specialist guides your care from your first visit through to recovery. You will not be managed by trainees operating independently. We also believe in transparent written estimates. You will receive a clear breakdown of all costs before any tests or procedures are booked. This helps you understand the financial aspects of your treatment without surprises. Our multidisciplinary access means if your weight issue is linked to a complex endocrine problem, our internal medicine specialists are in the same building. Our goal is to provide honest advice. Sometimes, surgery is not the appropriate solution. We will tell you if a non-surgical approach is better for your situation. If your primary concern is an eating disorder, we will guide you to appropriate specialised care outside our surgical scope.
