What is an obesity clinic?
An Obesity Clinic is a specialized medical center that provides consultation and treatment specifically for individuals who are overweight or obese. Unlike typical weight loss clinics that focus solely on “cosmetics,” this clinic emphasizes “health and disease treatment,” with a team of doctors and specialists working together.
The medical criteria used for judgment are as follows:
1. Body Mass Index (BMI)
You can easily calculate it yourself using the formula BMI = \frac{weight (kg)}{height (m)^2}
• BMI ≥ 30: Considered “obese” and you should consult a doctor immediately.
• BMI ≥ 27.5 and having underlying conditions: such as high blood pressure or diabetes, is considered

Preparing for Your First Doctor’s Visit
To ensure the most accurate diagnosis, you should bring the following:
• Fasting for 8-12 hours: Blood tests are often required to check blood sugar, cholesterol, and liver/kidney function.
• List of medications/supplements: Take photos of the labels of any medications you regularly take to show your doctor. Some medications (such as certain antihistamines, psychiatric medications, or steroids) can affect weight.
• Weight loss history: Prepare a brief description of previous weight loss methods, including those that were effective and those that were not, so the doctor doesn’t have to start over with failed methods.
• Note down your questions: For example, Is my weight due to a hormonal imbalance?” or “What type of treatment is suitable for my lifestyle and work?
New Generation Weight-Loss Medicine
Currently, it’s not just about traditional appetite suppressants, but a group of drugs that mimic the body’s hormones (such as GLP-1 or GIP), which are safer and more effective for weight loss:
• Weekly injectable drugs: such as Tirzepatide or Semaglutide, which help control hunger and balance blood sugar.
• Oral pills: By 2026, the development of “weight-loss pills” that provide similar results to injections will begin, making them more convenient and affordable (but still requiring medical supervision). MEDA
