Weight Management Clinic

Chularat Cholvaej Hospital

The Weight Management Clinic provides care for overweight and obesity in accordance with established medical standards, with a primary focus on safety, individualised treatment, and sustainable long-term outcomes.

The initial assessment begins with a comprehensive health evaluation, including body mass index (BMI), body composition, blood glucose levels, blood lipid levels, liver function, and assessment of associated conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and fatty liver disease. These assessments are used to develop the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual patient.

Physicians specialising in internal medicine will assess the suitability of treatment with approved weight-management medications supported by scientific evidence. Medication is selected according to the patient´s physical condition and medical history. The benefits, potential risks, and the importance of close monitoring are explained to ensure that weight reduction is undertaken safely without adversely affecting the cardiovascular system, liver, or hormonal system. Medication forms part of a comprehensive treatment plan and is not intended to be used as a standalone approach.

For patients with severe obesity or multiple associated conditions, a team of surgeons specialising in bariatric surgery will provide consultation regarding appropriate treatment options, such as minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery, based strictly on established medical indications.

The clinic focuses on safe weight management under the care of a multidisciplinary medical team, with the aim of helping patients achieve sustainable improvements in health and maintain a good quality of life over the long term.
