Dr. Tulip Chamany

Metabolic & Obesity Medicine Specialist · TODS Hospital, Bangalore

Dr. Tulip brings over three decades of experience in metabolic and obesity medicine. Her mission is to make advanced, safe weight management accessible — without the fear, risk, or recovery associated with conventional surgery.

Every patient undergoes a one-on-one assessment to determine the most appropriate, evidence-based approach for their specific health profile and goals.

Two Recognised Methods. One Personalised Programme.

Each component addresses a different aspect of weight management. Dr. Tulip will assess which combination is appropriate for your individual health profile.

💊

Allurion Swallow Balloon Capsule

A soft, swallowable capsule that inflates into a stomach balloon — requiring no endoscopy, no sedation, and no hospital stay. The procedure takes approximately 20 minutes at our clinic. It is designed to support satiety and portion awareness as part of a broader medical programme.

  • Passes out naturally after approximately 4 months — no removal procedure
  • No endoscopy or anaesthesia required
  • Clinically assessed for suitability at your consultation
  • Suitable for eligible patients who wish to avoid surgery
💉

Prescription Metabolic Injection Therapy

Where clinically appropriate, Dr. Tulip may prescribe injectable metabolic therapy that acts on appetite-regulating hormones and metabolic pathways. These are prescription-only medications — they are never dispensed or recommended online, and are only considered following a thorough in-person medical evaluation.

  • Supports appetite regulation and metabolic function
  • Prescribed and individually monitored by Dr. Tulip
  • Regular follow-ups and lab review included
  • Not suitable for all patients — eligibility assessed clinically
⚕️ Medical Disclaimer: Injectable metabolic medications used in this programme are prescription-only drugs. They are assessed, prescribed, and monitored exclusively by Dr. Tulip following an in-person clinical evaluation — they are never prescribed or dispensed online. Not all patients will be eligible. Potential side effects and contraindications will be discussed in detail at your consultation. This programme does not guarantee specific weight loss outcomes. Individual results vary. This is not a substitute for emergency medical care or primary care management of chronic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Adults with a BMI of 27.5 or above may be considered for assessment. However, eligibility for specific components — including medication and the Allurion balloon — is determined individually by Dr. Tulip following a full review of your medical history, current medications, and health status. The consultation is the most effective way to understand what may be appropriate for you.
The Allurion balloon has been evaluated in clinical studies involving patients globally and does not require endoscopy or anaesthesia. As with any medical intervention, there are potential side effects and contraindications. Dr. Tulip's team will discuss these in detail at your consultation and conduct appropriate screening before recommending this procedure. Not all patients are suitable candidates.
Medication-only approaches focus on appetite regulation and metabolic function. The TODS programme combines prescription injectable therapy — where clinically appropriate — with the Allurion balloon for additional satiety support, alongside dietary, behavioural, and exercise guidance. Importantly, all medications are individually assessed and prescribed by Dr. Tulip, with ongoing monitoring throughout. This is not a medication dispensing service — it is a comprehensive, medically supervised programme.
The initial consultation and balloon placement (if eligible) take place at our Bangalore clinic. Most ongoing follow-ups are conducted virtually via our care app and weekly video calls. We are able to support outstation patients effectively through remote monitoring, though some in-person reviews may be recommended based on clinical need.
The balloon is designed to pass out of the body naturally at around 4 months. Our team will work with you on a post-programme maintenance plan — including ongoing nutrition guidance and, where clinically appropriate, continued medical therapy — to support long-term outcomes. Long-term weight maintenance depends on many individual factors and is discussed openly with each patient.
Insurance coverage for non-surgical weight management programmes varies by provider and policy. Our team can advise you on the documentation typically required for reimbursement requests and help you understand your coverage options. We recommend contacting your insurer directly for definitive guidance.
