Obesity unit

Obesity has become a serious health problem for many people in recent years, and it is a condition that is of increasing concern to the medical community in industrialised countries.

To give a simple but alarming example, the obesity rate in Spain has increased by nearly 200% over the 14 years.

The best way to slim down and lose weight in a healthy way is under medical supervision. Ultimately, this is the only way to have access to the most appropriate and effective treatments, techniques and advice for combating excess weight and obesity.

The objective of the unit is to find an appropriate treatment for obesity that will result in a permanent solution. We offer:

▪ Individual and personalised attention

▪ A multidisciplinary approach that is based on the needs of each patient

▪ Study and treatment of the causes and disorders that can contribute to obesity

▪ Diagnosis and treatment of associated complications

Obesity Programme

HC Marbella’s Obesity Programme offers a complete range of treatments that help patients lose weight healthily.

Our aim is to find an appropriate treatment for obesity that will result in a permanent solution.

We offer patients various personalised treatments, depending the degree of obesity, their expectations, their preferences and their comorbidities.

Option 1: Nutritional and educational intervention (individualised dietary regimens)

Option 2: Intragastric balloon with nutritional re-education

Option 3: Bariatric surgery (adjustable gastric band or lap-band surgery) with nutritional support

Each treatment involves changes in diet under the supervision of a nutritionist, changes in habits with the support of a psychologist, and a physical activity programme.

In each case, it is essential that we offer you comprehensive, specific and personalised care and support. Therefore, for all treatment options HC Marbella are coordinated by a multidisciplinary medical and clinical team who will help you choose the treatment that best addresses your condition and suits your needs.
