About the Programme

A Comprehensive Obesity Centre

The Obesity Management Centre at Max Hospital Dwarka, led by Dr. Randeep Wadhawan, offers a truly comprehensive, personalised approach to weight management and metabolic health. Our programme goes beyond surgery to address every aspect of obesity — medical, nutritional, psychological, and surgical.

We believe in treating the root causes of obesity rather than just its symptoms. Each patient receives a tailored treatment plan developed by a multidisciplinary team including bariatric surgeons, endocrinologists, dietitians, psychologists, and physiotherapists.

Whether you require lifestyle modification, medical management, an endoscopic procedure, or bariatric surgery, our team has the expertise to guide you through every step of your weight loss journey.

Our Approach

4-Step Treatment Programme

A stepwise, personalised approach — from the least invasive to surgical options — guided by your health profile and goals.

1

Diet & Lifestyle Modification

The foundation of any obesity management programme. Our specialist dietitians design personalised, sustainable nutrition plans. Behaviour change therapy, physical activity programmes, and stress management are integrated to build long-term healthy habits.

  • Personalised low-calorie, high-protein meal planning
  • Supervised exercise and physical activity guidance
  • Psychological support and behavioural counselling
2

Pharmacotherapy

When lifestyle changes alone are insufficient, evidence-based anti-obesity medications can be prescribed as an adjunct. Our endocrinology team selects the most appropriate agents based on your metabolic profile, comorbidities, and weight loss targets.

  • GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide)
  • Metabolic disease management (diabetes, hypertension)
  • Regular monitoring and medication adjustment
3

Endoscopic Procedures

For patients who are not yet ready for or do not require surgical intervention, endoscopic weight loss procedures offer a minimally invasive bridge. These procedures are performed without incisions and under sedation, with same-day or overnight admission.

  • Intragastric balloon placement (6–12 months)
  • Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG)
  • Aspire assist therapy for selected patients
4

Bariatric Surgery

For patients with significant obesity and associated comorbidities who have not achieved adequate results with non-surgical approaches, bariatric surgery provides the most effective and durable weight loss solution. Dr. Wadhawan performs all procedures robotically or laparoscopically.

  • Sleeve Gastrectomy (Robotic / Laparoscopic)
  • Gastric Bypass / Mini Gastric Bypass (Robotic)
  • Revisional bariatric surgery for prior failed procedures
Understanding Your Risk

BMI & Obesity Classification

Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to classify weight status and assess the need for obesity treatment.

Normal Weight 18.5 – 24.9
Overweight 25 – 29.9
Obese Class I 30 – 34.9
Obese Class II (Surgery Eligible) 35 – 39.9
Morbidly Obese (Surgery Eligible) ≥ 40

Bariatric surgery is generally recommended for patients with BMI ≥ 35 with obesity-related comorbidities, or BMI ≥ 40 regardless of comorbidities. Asian patients may qualify at lower BMI thresholds.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Obesity & Bariatric Surgery

Yes. Bariatric surgery performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Wadhawan is safe with a low complication rate. The risk of complications from untreated severe obesity (diabetes, heart disease, cancer) far outweighs the surgical risk.
Most patients lose 60–80% of their excess body weight within 12–18 months. With long-term lifestyle adherence and follow-up, results are maintained for years.
Yes. Studies show 85% of patients with type 2 diabetes experience significant improvement or complete remission following bariatric surgery — often before significant weight loss occurs, suggesting a metabolic mechanism beyond just weight loss.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a permanent, irreversible procedure. Gastric bypass is also technically permanent but can be reversed in rare circumstances. The results are long-lasting when patients adhere to dietary guidelines and lifestyle modifications.
Post-surgery diet progresses in stages: clear liquids (week 1), full liquids (week 2–3), pureed foods (week 3–4), soft foods (month 2), and normal solid foods (month 3+). Lifelong commitment to high-protein, low-carbohydrate eating is essential.
With robotic or laparoscopic bariatric surgery, most patients are discharged in 1–3 days. Compared to open bariatric surgery which requires 5–7 days in hospital.
