Advice and support

Obesity is a complex disease, and seeking professional help can be an important step in assessing what the next steps towards improved health should be. A supportive consultation is an important part of any treatment, whether working solely on lifestyle changes, medication, or following bariatric surgery. 

During a support/follow-up consultation, we review your health history, weight history, and dieting attempts. We assess whether medications you are taking may affect your weight, examine blood test results, measure you in terms of weight, fat, and muscle percentage, and review your diet and exercise. We also discuss sleep, stress, and social support. We work with goal setting, how best to overcome obstacles, maintain motivation, and achieve your goals.

Remember that changing your lifestyle can be challenging, and it is important to be patient with yourself and take small steps towards your goals. With a healthier lifestyle and support, you can make positive changes to influence your weight trends and improve your health.

If you are concerned about your weight and wish to receive advice and support regarding the next steps, we recommend that you book an appointment and get advice tailored to your needs.
