He highlighted that the country is facing a growing obesity epidemic that now extends beyond urban centers into smaller towns, increasingly affecting children and young adults. He emphasized that obesity is not merely excess weight, but a complex chronic disease associated with significantly elevated risks of Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension, Fatty Liver Disease, cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, certain cancers, as well as mental health conditions such as Depression and Anxiety. He also noted its impact on infertility and Osteoarthritis.Dr. Lakdawala further underscored the critical role of family dynamics in shaping dietary habits, noting that children often model their eating behaviors on their parents, who serve as primary nutritional influences. In the context of increasing access to convenient but unhealthy food options, he advocated for mindful consumption and the adoption of family-centric nutrition practices. His recommendations include promoting balanced meals, encouraging shared family dining, and involving children in meal planning and grocery shopping. He emphasized that small, consistent lifestyle changes—such as limiting fast food intake and ensuring regular consumption of fruits and vegetables—can significantly contribute to long-term health outcomes when adopted collectively by the family.

I was touching obesity and was diabetic to the extent that I had to take insulin shots four times a day. Add to this 3 tablets for diabetes every day. It seemed like my life end all and be all was taking blood sugar readings and insulin all day. Not just this, my resistance had filled so much that I’d have one infection or another every day. Yes, every day. Add to that huge blisters on the feet like 2”X1.5”. These would take months to heal. I wasn’t living just managing my existence between infections. The surgery has not just taken away all types of medication for diabetes, BP and even cholesterol but also helped me to lose more than 25 kgs of weight. I feel lighter fitter more active and also more manageable ; ). It’s like having a whole new lease on life.

Dr. Muffi is God for me. **** ****** *** ***** He gave me my new life and is the guiding force in helping me regain my health. I have lost around 38kgs since surgery on 21.09.17. I have no aliments whatsoever. I'm free from my metabolic disorder. There's so much to talk about the great experience I have at the DHI. The follow up and post operative care is the best one can get. The team at DHI keeps a close tab on my health and assists me as and when it is needed. They go out and beyond to help me. I don't have enough words to thank them.

Experience was very good. The doctor n his team both explained everything very nicely.they were good n informative.
But its too too too too too too too too too expensive.
The consultation charges are way too high.
EXTRAVAGANTLY, extremely over priced consultation fees. 3500 is unbelievably high n not affordable
