Obesity & Nutrition Clinic in Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Structured medical weight management combining nutrition planning, endoscopic options and long-term follow-up.
What Is the Obesity & Nutrition Clinic?
The obesity and nutrition clinic is a coordinated weight-management programme, not a one-off diet consultation. It brings medical assessment, nutrition planning, activity guidance and — for the patients who need it — endoscopic weight-loss procedures like the gastric balloon or endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, all under one gastroenterologist.
- Full metabolic work-up to find what is driving the weight gain
- A personalised, Indian-diet nutrition plan rather than a generic chart
- Structured activity guidance suited to your joints and fitness level
- Medical or endoscopic weight-loss options when lifestyle change alone is not enough
- Coordinated care with the liver clinic where fatty liver is also present
Obesity & Nutrition Clinic in Ahmedabad
Structured medical weight management combining nutrition planning, endoscopic options and long-term follow-up.
Obesity is a medical condition, not a failure of willpower. Our clinic combines medical assessment, nutrition planning, activity guidance and — where appropriate — endoscopic procedures, in one coordinated programme.
Dr. Neil B. Palkhiwala, Consultant Gastroenterologist with 12+ years of experience, leads the obesity and nutrition clinic at Aryav Super Speciality Hospital in Science City, Sola, Ahmedabad, Gujarat — easily reached from Bhadaj, Shilaj, Ghatlodiya, Gota, Thaltej, Hebatpur, Memnagar and Gurukul.
We start by measuring what matters: body composition, blood sugar, lipids, thyroid and liver status. The plan then follows the findings rather than a generic diet chart.
At Aryav Super Speciality Hospital, Sola, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, this treatment is planned and performed by Dr. Neil B. Palkhiwala and the clinical team, supported by advanced imaging, modular operation theatres, dedicated intensive care and an in-house rehabilitation unit.

- Gastric balloon — a reversible, non-surgical endoscopic option
- Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty for more durable, incision-less weight loss
- Referral for surgical bariatric options where clinically appropriate
Recovery and follow-up
- Reviews every four to six weeks with objective measurements.

Frequently asked questions about obesity & nutrition clinic
Who leads the obesity and nutrition clinic at Aryav Super Speciality Hospital?
Dr. Neil B. Palkhiwala, Consultant Gastroenterologist with over 12 years of experience, personally leads the assessment and treatment planning for every patient at the clinic.
Do I have to take medication?
Not necessarily. Many patients succeed with nutrition and activity changes alone; medication or endoscopic options are discussed only when needed.
How quickly will I lose weight?
A steady half to one kilogram a week is the safe and sustainable target with a structured nutrition and activity plan.
Is weight loss needed before knee replacement?
It helps significantly — less load on the new joint means better function and longer implant life. Our team coordinates this with our orthopaedic surgeons where relevant.
When would a gastric balloon or endoscopic sleeve be considered?
These are discussed when structured diet and activity changes have not achieved enough weight loss, or when your BMI and health conditions make a non-surgical endoscopic option appropriate. Dr. Neil B. Palkhiwala assesses candidacy for each individually.
Does the clinic also manage fatty liver or diabetes?
Yes. Since obesity, fatty liver and metabolic conditions are closely linked, care is coordinated with our liver clinic and adjusted around your blood sugar and lipid profile.
Where is the obesity and nutrition clinic located?
The clinic operates from Aryav Super Speciality Hospital, Science City, Sola, Ahmedabad — convenient for patients from Bhadaj, Shilaj, Ghatlodiya, Gota, Thaltej, Hebatpur, Memnagar and Gurukul.
