The Centre for Obesity Management and Surgery (COMS) prides itself on providing comprehensive care for patients under its supervision.
Our multidisciplinary team of dietitians, physiotherapists, psychologists, endocrinologists, hepatologists and surgeons, manages both adult and adolescent bariatric conditions. Our patients display a diverse spectrum of obesity, often complicated by obstructive sleep apnoea, joint pains or metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, subfertility and fatty liver disease.
The centre offers a compassionate and personalised health care approach, supporting individuals on their weight management journey through nutrition guidance, exercise planning and emotional well-being support. When appropriate, medical or surgical interventions are recommended by our doctors as part of a holistic, patient-centred care plan.
Where surgery is indicated, both endoscopic and operative options are available, based on clinical suitability and patient preference. Ongoing follow-up is part of the care process to support continuity and treatment effectiveness over time.
Obesity is a chronic disease involving the accumulation of excess body fat. Obesity increases the risk of medical conditions such as diabetes mellitus and high blood pressure (hypertension) and shortens your life span. Fortunately, obesity can be treated with a multidisciplinary approach involving a team of dedicated weight management experts. By addressing key areas and causes, the team can help patients achieve successful and sustainable weight loss through lifestyle changes, medical therapy and surgery.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) defines obesity based on Body Mass Index (BMI).
There are many causes of weight gain and obesity. Together with our team, we will adopt a multidisciplinary approach and provide you a suitable programme that will assist you in your weight loss journey.
Our doctors will provide you the best treatment based on your current obesity related illnesses. This may include endoscopic options such as the gastric balloon or medical therapies that help regulate appetite and promotes a sense of fullness. These non-surgical treatments are considered only when appropriate and are carefully guided by our medical team as part of a personalised weight management plan.
Bariatric Surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, may be considered as part of a structured medical weight management plan. These surgical options, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, are typically recommended only after a thorough evaluation by our medical team.
