Who We Are

We are part of Singapore General Hospital, one of the country’s leading healthcare institutions. Formerly known as the LIFE Centre, the SGH Obesity Centre was Singapore’s first hospital-based obesity clinic. Since its launch, it has delivered integrated and long-term obesity care.

Our team includes a wide mix of specialists:

• Endocrinologists who help manage diabetes and hormone-related conditions

• Bariatric surgeons trained in weight loss operations

• Gastroenterologists offering less invasive procedures

• Dietitians who guide you through healthy meal plans

• Physiotherapists who support you in safe activity

• Psychologists who help with behavioural and mental health support

• Nurses and coordinators who assist with your treatment plan

Each specialist contributes to your health journey.

Preoperative Risk Optimisation and Evaluation

Before surgery, we complete a thorough medical review. We check for conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and nutritional gaps. After that, we work with you to improve your health and fitness level. As a result, surgery becomes safer and more effective.

In addition, you may receive tailored diet plans, physical activity guidance, and help with managing stress or anxiety. Clinical tests are done to monitor progress, and medication is adjusted when needed. Every step is designed to reduce risk and support recovery.

Services You Can Expect

Our services cover a full range of weight-related care. These include:

• Medical weight management for patients not ready for surgery

• Endoscopic weight loss procedures such as gastric balloons

• Bariatric surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass

• Lifestyle programmes that include diet, exercise, and mental wellness

Support groups are also available before and after surgery. They create a space for learning, encouragement, and shared experiences.
