Did you know weight management can help to treat health conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol? At HMI, we believe in providing a multidisciplinary and holistic approach to weight loss and management with non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures, together with weight management programmes that focus on improving health using lifestyle as medicine.

Bariatric Surgery

Our guided weight management programme helps to shed off excess and stubborn fats in a safe and effective manner. Ranging from 3 to 12 months long, the highly personalised programme will help you to establish long lasting lifestyle habits that will eliminate diseases such as Type 2 Diabetes and heart problems. Prior to the programme, a health screening will be conducted to identify any underlying medical conditions(s) such as high blood cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver or hypertension.


Weight management programme

Hypertension is often associated with diabetes and obesity. Focusing on non pharmacological intervention, we will aim to lower blood pressure through diet and activity supervision, tobacco and alcohol management, stress and sleep optimisation.

Dietary approach to manage hypertension

Lifestyle Medicine is a therapeutic intervention that helps you make the right lifestyle changes that can help to manage or eliminate chronic conditions such as obesity, reduce your need for medication, and ultimately, create a healthier and happier you. Our specialists will work together with you to help you get to your goals through a treatment tailored to your individual needs. During this journey, we will assess your health, motivation, set realistic goals and monitor your progress along the way, and take time to understand your lifestyle habits.


An intragastric Balloon is a saline filled silicone balloon placed in the stomach to provide a feeling of fullness, helping to cut down on food consumption. The Elipse™ Programme is a non-invasive weight loss programme that provides you with a digestible intragastric balloon (to be swallowed in the form of a capture, digital app connected to a smart scale for tracking achievements and a team of experts to support you in creating a personalised diet and exercise plan. The programme can be carried out by Dr Shanker Pasupathy, our gastrointestinal surgeon and accredited Elipse digestible intragastric balloon specialist.


Intragastric Balloon (The Elipse™ Programme)

An Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) reduces is a minimally invasive procedure for severely overweight individuals who are unable to lose weight through diet and exercise. The procedure leads to weight loss by reducing the size of the stomach, restricting the capacity to consume.

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG)

During a gastric sleeve surgery, a significant portion of stomach tissue will be removed, leaving a small section that resembles a thin, vertical ‘sleeve’, which is then stapled shut. This procedure leads to weight loss over time as their caloric intake becomes reduced.

Gastric Sleeve Surgery

A Roux En Y Gastric Bypass, is a procedure where a small stomach pouch is created and separated from the rest of the stomach. As food bypasses most of the stomach and enters through the middle part of the intestine, the amount of food consumed is significantly reduced.


Roux En Y Gastric Bypass

A Single Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, or Mini Gastric Bypass, is a procedure where the top of the stomach is changed into a small gastric pouch by dividing it into a loop and joining it to the intestine.


Single Anastomosis Gastric Bypass

Weight loss (bariatric) surgery is a long term solution for individuals who have previously be unsuccessful at losing weight through diet and exercise programmes or suffer from serious health problems related to obesity. At HMI we offer both non-invasive and minimally invasive bariatric procedures which can be administered within a day (or even in an hour), providing results with faster recovery and minimal downtime.
