Your first
consultation
Your first consultation with one of our specialist doctors or surgeons is your first step towards a healthier life. It is an opportunity for you to learn how weight loss surgery works, what type of obesity treatment is right for you, and ask any questions you may have.
What is covered in your first consultation?
Your consultation is unique to your own personal circumstances, but there are always key themes that we cover during it:
Why people gain weight
Obesity is a complex condition, and the causes and contributors are also complex. Your doctor or surgeon will help you to understand the reasons why you are having problems with your weight.
Why weight loss treatments are important for some people
Your doctor or surgeon will explain why weight loss treatment would be important for you and what treatment options are suitable. While surgery is often seen as a ‘last resort’ for those living with obesity, the choice for surgery is usually a result of all the previous treatments the person has tried that have failed to do the job. Our aim is to help people maintain lifelong changes to their diet and keep the excess weight off for good.
