Mawar Medical Centre pioneers obesity solution

Mawar Medical Centre has become Negeri Sembilan’s first hospital to offer Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), a groundbreaking weight-loss procedure.

This minimally invasive treatment, led by Dr Sattian Kollanthavelu, helps patients lose 15-20% of their body weight while improving conditions like diabetes and hypertension.

“Obesity is a medical condition that requires effective interventions,” said Dr Sattian.

Mawar Medical Centre’s ESG initiative marks a new era in obesity management, offering residents a non-surgical path to better health.

This advancement provides Seremban residents with accessible, cutting-edge care for lasting wellness.

Mawar Medical Centre’s ESG breakthrough

Mawar Medical Centre leads the way with ESG, reducing stomach size through endoscopic suturing.

“Performing five ESG cases in one day showed how efficient the procedure is,” Dr Sattian noted.

Patients enjoy a one-night hospital stay and return to work within three days, making it a practical solution.

Moreover, ESG targets those with a BMI of 28 or higher, aged 18-65, without binge or emotional eating disorders.

“We tailor weight-loss strategies to each individual’s needs,” Dr Sattian advised.

Mawar Medical Centre assesses patients’ medical and psychological readiness, ensuring suitability.

Additionally, ESG delivers significant health benefits.

“Patients can anticipate a weight loss of 15-20 kg within 12 months,” Dr Sattian shared.

It improves diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, and fatty liver, boosting mobility and self-esteem.

Furthermore, Mawar Medical Centre’s team-based approach sets it apart.

Dr Sattian collaborates with dietitians, psychiatrists, and endocrinologists to create personalized care plans.

This holistic method addresses obesity’s physical and psychological roots, ensuring long-term success.

Mawar Medical Centre’s lifestyle commitment

Mawar Medical Centre emphasises post-ESG lifestyle changes for sustained results.

“ESG is a tool, not a cure,” Dr Sattian cautioned.

Patients transition from liquid to solid foods, prioritising protein-rich meals and mindful eating to avoid discomfort.

Additionally, hydration and light exercise, like walking or yoga, maintain weight loss. “Patients must commit to healthier habits,” Dr Sattian stressed.

Mawar Medical Centre supports this shift with regular follow-ups, ensuring patients stay on track.

Moreover, obesity’s complex causes—genetics, diet, and sedentary lifestyles—require tailored solutions. “Dietary habits play a significant role,” Dr Sattian explained.

Mawar Medical Centre educates patients on portion control and balanced diets, countering Malaysia’s high-calorie meal trends.

Emotional and cultural factors, like stress eating and social overeating, also contribute.

Mawar Medical Centre’s comprehensive care addresses these, fostering psychological resilience.
