If you've tried diets, workouts and countless “quick fixes” with little success, it's not because you've failed — it's because your body needs a different kind of support.
With the right medical care, you can finally achieve what you've been working towards: steady weight control, better energy, and improved overall health.
At Parkway Shenton, we help you reach those goals safely and effectively. Our medical weight management programme features treatments and solutions that work with your body, guided by professionals who understand the science behind weight gain and metabolic health.
Obesity isn't simply the result of overeating or inactivity. It's a chronic medical condition shaped by your genes, hormones, metabolism, and lifestyle. These factors make it hard to lose weight — and even harder to keep it off — without proper medical support.
For Asians, a Body Mass Index (BMI) above 23kg/m2 is considered overweight. You can check your BMI using HPB's BMI calculator, or calculate it using this formula:
BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ [Height (m) x Height (m)]
For example, a person who is 65kg and 1.62m tall would have a BMI of: 65/(1.62*1.62) = 24.8, which falls in the overweight category.
| BMI (for Asians) | Category | Risk of Health Problems |
|---|---|---|
| ≤ 18.5 | Underweight | Low risk (may be prone to nutritional deficiencies) |
| 18.5 – 22.9 | Normal | Low risk (healthy range) |
| 23.0 – 27.4 | Overweight | Moderate risk |
| ≥ 27.5 | Obese | High risk |
Being overweight or obese increases your risk of:
The good news is, these risks can be reversed. Even a modest 5% weight loss can improve blood sugar, cholesterol, and energy levels significantly.
If you're clinically obese or overweight with conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or sleep apnoea, your doctor may recommend GLP-1 therapy — medication that is clinically proven to regulate appetite and improve metabolic control.
Common options include semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro). Both are prescription-only and available at Parkway Shenton clinics.
GLP-1 medications mimic a natural hormone in your body called glucagon-like peptide-1, which stimulates insulin release to regulate blood sugar levels and slows stomach emptying.
By reducing hunger and curbing cravings, GLP-1 medications help achieve metabolic control and weight loss through blood sugar and appetite regulation.
Your doctor will guide you through each phase, from initiation and monitoring to dose tapering and maintenance.
Price: From $300/month
Begin with a detailed consultation to review your health, blood markers, and weight-related risks.
If suitable, your doctor will recommend GLP-1 medication or other treatment options and design a customised nutrition and exercise plan tailored to your goals.
Your Parkway Shenton care team will monitor your progress, adjust treatment where needed, and provide ongoing guidance. Most patients return for a doctor's review every month initially, then every 2-3 months once their condition is stable.
Once your target weight is achieved, your doctor will guide you through a safe transition plan to maintain your results and prevent rebound.

If you've been trying to lose weight on your own, it's time for a different approach. You don’t need another diet. You need a plan that actually works — one that's guided by science, supported by doctors, and designed for real life.
Start your medical weight management journey with Parkway Shenton and rediscover what it feels like to have control, confidence, and a healthier future.
Available at these clinics: Bukit Batok Central, ESR BizPark @Changi, Guoco Tower, Kovan, Pasir Ris Mall, Republic Plaza, Serangoon Central, Tampines West, Tembeling Centre, and Toa Payoh.
This programme is suitable for adults who are clinically obese (BMI ≥27.5 kg/m²) or overweight (BMI 23.0 – 27.4kg/m²) with health conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or fatty liver.
It is also suitable for individuals who have tried lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise, but have not achieved sufficient results.
Your doctor will assess your medical history and health markers to determine suitability and customise the right weight management plan for you.
In most cases, yes. Patients with diabetes, hypertension or thyroid conditions can safely benefit from our doctor-supervised medical weight management programme.
Your doctor may adjust existing medications (e.g. insulin) or recommend additional monitoring to ensure safety. Always seek a medical evaluation before starting treatment.
GLP-1 therapy may be recommended for adults who are:
GLP-1 medication is not recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2).
Yes. GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide (Ozempic / Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro) are clinically approved and prescribed only after thorough assessment. They are generally well tolerated in most patients.
Common side effects include:
Rare but important side effects:
Long-term studies (up to 4 years) show sustained safety and effectiveness with proper medical monitoring.
When GLP-1 medication is stopped, appetite regulation gradually returns to baseline, and some weight regain may occur. Long-term success depends on sustaining healthy lifestyle habits.
To maintain results:
There is no fixed 'end point' — for many, obesity is a chronic condition that requires ongoing management, similar to hypertension or diabetes.
No, a restrictive 'special diet' is not required. You can continue to enjoy foods like chicken rice, nasi lemak or burgers — but in moderate portions. Overeating, especially during festive periods, may increase the risk of nausea while on medication.
Our dietitians will help you plan balanced meals that suit your preferences and daily routine.
Regular follow-ups are important to ensure safe and effective treatment. During each visit, your doctor will review your:
Check-ups are usually scheduled every 2 – 3 months at the start, then 6-monthly once your condition stabilises.
GLP-1 treatment typically begins at a low dose, which is gradually increased over the first 16 weeks to minimise side effects and allow your body time to adjust.
Most patients notice improvements within 8 – 12 weeks, including better appetite control and reduced food cravings.
When combined with balanced nutrition and regular physical activity, you can expect to achieve 5 – 15% weight loss within 6 – 12 months*, depending on your starting weight, response to treatment, and compliance with the programme.
* Individual results may vary
Once you reach your target weight, your doctor will guide you through a tapering and maintenance plan to help you sustain your progress. This may include lower-dose therapy, continued nutrition guidance, and lifestyle coaching to prevent rebound weight gain.
Our care team will support you through every phase, from active treatment to maintenance and long-term health management.
Coverage for medical weight management programmes in Singapore varies depending on your insurance policy and provider. Our staff can assist you in checking your coverage and advise on any claimable components (e.g. consultations, blood tests, or specific medications).
