Publications Connect Contact Us Locations Select Setting a wellness routine: Five ways to make sure you stay healthy every day Set Goals and Stay on Track Achieving a healthier lifestyle requires clear goals, commitment, and self-compassion. Here’s how you can set yourself up for success: 1. Be Clear About Your Goals Define what you want to achieve and why it matters. Collaborate with your doctor and, if possible, a nutritionist. Even a couple of sessions with an expert can help you identify what you’re doing right and what needs improvement. Start small—set a three-month goal and track your progress daily using a reliable app. Remember to be honest and kind to yourself throughout the process. 2. Make Time and Allocate Resources If your goal is to work out three times a week for an hour, commit to it fully. This might mean adjusting your schedule—waking up earlier, hitting the gym on weekends, or hiring a trainer to come to your home. Whatever it takes to stick to your plan, prioritize it and stay consistent. 3. Build a Support System Share your goals with family, friends, and even your workplace. For example, let your boss know if you need to adjust your work hours once a week, and explain how you’ll compensate. Asking for cooperation (within reason) can help you stay on track without unnecessary stress. 4. Be Realistic and Forgive Yourself Life happens—whether it’s a busy workweek or visiting family disrupting your routine. Plan around these situations where possible, and if not, don’t be too hard on yourself. Trust that you can regain your momentum. Accept that you’ll have tough days or weeks but focus on doing what you can during those times. 5. Find Joy in Every Day Above all, prioritize happiness. Make time daily for something you love—listening to your favorite music, playing with your kids, walking your dog, or sharing dinner with your family. These small moments of joy can keep you motivated and remind you why your goals are worth pursuing. A journey toward health and wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about progress, balance, and living a life you

Publications Connect Contact Us Locations Setting up an OR Transforming Bariatric Patient Care with Compassion and Precision For a morbidly obese patient, every detail matters. A bed strong enough to support them, a staff that treats them with dignity, and an environment that makes them feel secure can transform their hospital experience. This is especially critical for bariatric surgery, where psycho-social and emotional factors are deeply intertwined with the physical process. At Digestive Health Institute, this sensitivity is at the core of our work. Pioneering Change at Saifee Hospital In 2004, we established a dedicated bariatric OT at Saifee Hospital in Mumbai. By 2009, we were entrusted with creating an entire bariatric department—a challenge and honor we embraced wholeheartedly. Today, this facility stands as a benchmark for excellence, recognized both in India and internationally. The Power of Small Details Our journey began with addressing overlooked yet critical details: Robust Infrastructure: Beds designed for a minimum weight of 130 kg, wall-mounted commodes for added strength, wider doors, and corridors. Patient Comfort: Chairs without armrests, larger hospital gowns, and bariatric-specific surgical instruments. Advanced Technology: State-of-the-art OTs equipped with live surgery transmission capabilities to enhance training and collaboration. Creating an Empathetic Environment We recognized the importance of: Sensitized Staff: Training to ensure patients are treated with respect, free from judgment or unkind remarks. Tailored Equipment: Wheelchairs, furniture, and surgical tools customized for bariatric patients to prevent discomfort or embarrassment. By addressing these needs, we’ve created a supportive, patient-first environment. A Testament to Experience Years of working with bariatric patients gave us invaluable insights into what makes a facility truly world-class. From pre-operative care to post-operative counseling, every detail was meticulously planned to provide a seamless experience for patients. Beyond Surgery: Lifelong Support Our commitment doesn’t end in the operating room. Post-operative care is vital for sustained recovery. We stay connected with patients for years, guiding them through: Lifestyle Changes: Ensuring healthy habits become second nature. Dietary Discipline: Preventing lapses that could compromise recovery. Emotional Support: Offering counsel during challenging times. Redefining Bariatric Surgery in India Bariatric surgery is still a growing field in India, often clouded by misconceptions. At Digestive Health Institute, we aim to

Publications Connect Contact Us Locations Why Coffee with Muffi changes lives Coffee with Muffi: A Supportive Space for Your Weight Loss Journey – Weight Loss Milestones Dealing with obesity can feel isolating. The challenges you face are unique, and even post-surgery, not everyone—including your closest family members—may fully understand or empathize. At Digestive Health Institute, we recognize the importance of being there for our patients not just before surgery, but for years afterward. Over time, we’ve also realized something profound—our patients often support and inspire each other in ways no one else can. Judith Johnson and William McCown, in their book on therapy, perfectly capture this idea: “Although support and self-help groups can vary greatly, all groups share one thing in common—they are places where people can share personal stories, express emotions, and be heard in an atmosphere of acceptance, understanding, and encouragement. Participants share information and resources. By helping others, people in a support group strengthen and empower themselves.” Inspired by this, we created Coffee with Muffi—a unique initiative that brings together Dr. Muffi, his expert team, and our wonderful patients. It’s a space where you can share experiences, exchange advice, ask questions, and find encouragement—all over a cup of excellent coffee and healthy, delicious snacks. Why Coffee with Muffi Is Special What makes this initiative truly unique is its inclusive approach. It’s not just for those who have undergone surgery—it’s also for individuals who are considering it but need guidance and reassurance. Here’s what you can expect: Conversations with Our Patients: Hear real-life stories from those who’ve chosen a healthier path through surgery. Expert Guidance: Interact with top surgeons, compassionate nutritionists, and a supportive team eager to address your concerns. Celebration of Success: Share your progress, clarify doubts, and celebrate your victories—no matter how small. Every story matters, and every milestone is worth cheering. For many, Coffee with Muffi is a chance to reconnect with the team, find answers, and experience a community of shared understanding and motivation. Exciting Updates We are thrilled to announce that we’ve moved into our state-of-the-art center at Kamala Mills, Mumbai, offering a range of surgical, diagnostic, and maintenance services. Along with
