The Medical Approach
Full Medical Initial Assessment
Your bariatric weight loss doctor will do a full medical assessment of your current medical health, medications, past medical history, family medical history and will request up to-date pathology tests to figure out why you are having difficulty attaining and maintaining a healthy weight.
Prescription Medications
When diet and lifestyle changes are just not enough, your bariatric weight loss doctor can prescribe safe and effective Australian TGA approved prescription medications. These include tablets, injections and capsules to aid you on your weight loss journey. Medications are only prescribed after careful consideration of your medical history and discussion with you about your individual needs.
When Diet And Medications Are Not Enough
Don't despair there are still more options, and failure isn’t one of them. You can do this and achieve your ideal weight with other measures. Bariatric surgery can provide excellent sustained weight loss for some in addition to a healthy lifestyle. We can refer you to excellent reputable bariatric surgeons and support you both pre and post surgery to maximize your long term goals and help you
keep the weight off.
When You Reach Your Healthy Weight
Our patients have lost 5 to120kgs and it takes an individual medical approach that is different for everyone. However, when you've achieved your goal weight and are stable, we also can guide you on your cosmetic surgery options. If genetics are not your friend, then cheeks, jowls, droopy eyelids, back fat, muffin tops, bat wings, thunder
thighs and a double chin are the enemy.
