WEIGHT LOSS & OBESITY
Weight Loss & Obesity Treatment in Tiruppur
We look for the reasons behind your weight gain, check sugar, BP, thyroid and liver, and then plan diet, activity and medicines that suit you.
ADULT WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Medical Weight Loss in Tiruppur
Obesity is a long-term condition in which excess body fat can affect overall health and increase the risk of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health problems.
For Indians, a BMI of 23 to 24.9 is overweight, and 25 or above is obesity. A waist of 90 cm or more in men, or 80 cm or more in women, raises health risk even at a normal BMI.
At our weight loss clinic, Dr. Tushyanth V looks at your weight history, other illnesses, daily routine and the medicines you take, since some, such as steroids and some diabetes medicines, can cause weight gain.
Care includes:
CONDITIONS WE MANAGE
Weight Problems We Treat
Extra weight often comes with diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol or fatty liver. We check for these and treat them together.
Obesity
We find out why you are gaining weight, such as thyroid problems, medicines, poor sleep or PCOS, and build a plan you can actually follow.
Weight-Related Conditions
Extra weight often comes with prediabetes, diabetes, high BP, high cholesterol, fatty liver, PCOS or sleep apnoea. We check and treat these.
Weight-Loss Medicines
Weekly injections (semaglutide or tirzepatide) for adults who meet medical criteria, started at a low dose and used with diet and activity.
Sleep Apnoea Screening
Loud snoring, pauses in breathing or daytime sleepiness can mean sleep apnoea. We screen with a questionnaire and arrange a home sleep study.
SIGNS & EVALUATION
When to See a Doctor About Your Weight
Weight often goes up slowly over the years. See a doctor if any of these apply to you:
BMI 23 or above, or a large waist
Weight gain without a clear reason
Trouble losing weight despite trying
Snoring or daytime sleepiness
Knee or back pain
Irregular periods
Dark, thick skin on the neck

YOUR VISITS
How Weight Loss Treatment Works Here
From your first visit to a steady weight, here is what to expect.
Your first visit
We ask when the weight gain started, what you eat on a normal day, your sleep, work hours and medicines, and check weight, waist and BP.
Tests on the same day
Fasting sugar, HbA1c, cholesterol, liver and kidney tests and TSH, with an ultrasound for fatty liver or hormone tests only when needed.
Your treatment plan
Diet and activity changes come first for everyone. Medicines are added only when your BMI and health problems meet the medical criteria.
Regular follow-up
Weekly visits while medicines are started and doses adjusted, then less often on a steady dose. Weight, waist and BP are checked each visit.

ABOUT THE PHYSICIAN
Weight Loss Care with Dr. Tushyanth V
Dr. Tushyanth V treats obesity as a medical condition, first looking for causes such as thyroid problems, PCOS, sleep apnoea or medicines that add weight.
He starts with diet and activity changes, adds weight-loss medicines only when they suit you, and plans how to keep the weight off from the first visit.
He also checks for thyroid problems, PCOS and sleep apnoea when the signs are there, since these can make it harder to lose weight until they are treated.
WEIGHT LOSS FAQS
Weight Loss Questions Answered
Do I need an appointment?
Booking is better, as the first visit takes longer. If you can, come without breakfast so fasting tests can be done the same day. If you take diabetes medicines, ask us before fasting. Fasting samples can be given from 7 AM, so most results are ready for the morning consultation.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Recent blood reports, your prescriptions, and a list of everything you take, including Ayurveda, Siddha or other supplements. Bring old weight records if you have them.
Do you prescribe weight-loss injections like semaglutide or tirzepatide?
Yes, after an evaluation, if they are suitable for you. They are given once a week, starting at a low dose. Nausea, less appetite and constipation are common in the first few weeks and usually settle. They are not used in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and should be stopped at least two months before a planned pregnancy. They are also not used if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2. Gallstones and pancreatitis are uncommon but important side effects.
Who can take weight-loss medicines?
Medicines are considered for adults whose BMI and weight-related health problems make the benefit worth the side effects. Dr. Tushyanth explains the criteria and the options at your visit. Diet and activity changes continue alongside any medicine.
What happens if I stop the injections?
Most people regain some weight after stopping. That is why we plan diet, activity and a maintenance phase from the start, and reduce the dose slowly where possible.
Do you refer for bariatric surgery?
Yes. When medicines and diet are not enough and surgery is medically needed, we refer you to a bariatric surgeon.
How often do I need a follow-up?
Every week while medicines are started or adjusted, then less often once your dose is steady.
