Obesity & Weight Management Clinic
Medical weight-loss programmes that target the fat driving diabetes and foot disease.
A medical weight loss clinic offers doctor-supervised weight loss using nutrition, activity and, where appropriate, medication. At EDFC in Surat, the focus is on reducing visceral fat — the fat around your organs that worsens insulin resistance, blood pressure and diabetic foot pressure.
What is medical weight loss?
Medical weight loss is a supervised programme led by clinicians, rather than a generic diet or gym plan. It is matched to your diabetes, blood pressure and foot status, and it targets visceral fat — the metabolically dangerous fat around the organs. It is part of the metabolic care at Elegance Diabetic Foot & Ulcer Clinic (EDFC).
Obesity is widespread in India: an estimated 254 million people have generalised obesity and 351 million have abdominal obesity (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023). Losing weight, especially visceral fat, is one of the most powerful ways to improve blood sugar and overall metabolic health.
Programmes are supervised by the clinic's medical team and available at our Surat and Vizianagaram branches.
Who is the weight management clinic for?
This clinic may help if you:
- Are overweight and have diabetes, prediabetes or metabolic syndrome
- Have tried diets before and regained the weight
- Carry weight around the abdomen (high visceral fat)
- Have had bariatric surgery and need ongoing monitoring
- Have a diabetic foot problem worsened by excess weight
- Want a supervised, sustainable plan rather than crash dieting
When to see a doctor in India: if your weight is affecting your blood sugar, joints, breathing or feet, a supervised programme is safer and more effective than crash diets.
