Medical weight loss

At Core Specialist Group, we understand that weight loss can be a challenging and long journey. That is why we are committed to helping you find the right weight loss program. 
There are a few things to consider; the most important one is to have realistic expectations. Losing weight requires patience, dedication and a long-term commitment.
If you are not eligible for a surgical procedure, or you would rather lose weight through lifestyle changes and medications, Core Specialist Group can help.

Comprehensive assessment

 

When you come and visit our weight loss GP here at Core Specialist Group, we’ll make sure we understand your current health situation, past experiences and what you hope to achieve.
During your first consultation, we will ask you quite a few questions, so that we get an insight into your medical history as well as understand potential patterns. When did weight become a problem for you? Was it during childhood, your teenage years, after you were pregnant or later in life?
It is important that we know your daily lifestyle habits and how a typical meal looks like.

 

Screening for underlying medical conditions

 
We will also screen for potential conditions such as PCOS, testosterone deficiency, Cushing’s syndrome, sleeping disorders or any other issues that may impact your weight. Identifying these conditions is important as they may contribute to your weight gain or prevent you from achieving your weight loss goals. 

 

Obesity is not just an aesthetic matter. It impacts your overall health and may result in medical challenges. 
Common complications are diabetes, fatty liver, sleep apnoea, reduced fertility, PCOS, Cushing’s syndrome and osteoarthritis.
Heart and blood vessel complications may occur such as high blood pressure, and you may be at higher risk for coronary artery disease and stroke.
