Managing weight is not simply about losing kilograms. Healthy weight management involves understanding your individual health, eating patterns, activity levels, metabolic risk and other factors that can influence weight.
At Shivaay Clinic, we provide personalized obesity and weight management care in Vadodara and Dahod, with an approach focused on assessment, medical guidance, lifestyle changes and long-term weight management.
Our weight management approach is designed around your individual health needs and goals. Depending on your condition, care may include medical assessment, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, weight-related risk assessment and appropriate medical treatment.
Weight management may require more than diet and exercise alone.
Our medical weight management approach begins with understanding factors that may be affecting your weight and metabolic health.
Depending on individual needs, assessment may include:
Sustainable weight management requires an approach that can be followed over the long term.
Our weight-loss programs focus on evidence-based medical guidance along with practical lifestyle changes rather than relying on short-term diets or unrealistic targets.
The approach may include:
Assessment → Personalized Plan → Lifestyle Changes → Medical Support → Follow-up
Obesity can be influenced by multiple factors, including lifestyle, genetics, medications, medical conditions and metabolic health.
A comprehensive evaluation can help identify relevant factors affecting your weight and overall health.
Assessment may include:
BMI can be one of the measures used when assessing weight, but it does not provide a complete picture of an individual’s health.
Our assessment considers BMI along with relevant metabolic and health factors to better understand an individual’s overall risk profile.
Lifestyle plays an important role in long-term weight management.

For some individuals, lifestyle changes alone may not provide adequate weight management.
Depending on the individual’s health condition and medical assessment, anti-obesity medications may be considered as part of a comprehensive weight management plan.
Medication selection and treatment should always be individualized and medically supervised.
Certain newer medications that act on GLP-1 and/or GIP pathways may be used in appropriate patients as part of medical weight management.
These treatments are not suitable for everyone. Their use depends on individual medical history, health conditions, treatment goals and clinical assessment.
At Shivaay Clinic, medication-based weight management is considered as part of a broader approach that may include lifestyle modification and ongoing follow-up.
Losing weight is only one part of successful long-term weight management.
Maintaining weight after weight loss can require continued attention to nutrition, physical activity, lifestyle habits and, where appropriate, medical treatment.
Our weight management approach can include ongoing follow-up to help patients maintain their progress and adapt their plan when required.
For some patients, weight and metabolic health may need to be considered before planned surgery.
