Procedure Information

Medical Weight Loss

There are now several prescription medications available in Australia to treat overweight and obesity. When used in combination with dietary changes and regular exercise, these medications can lead to clinically significant weight loss. Medications can be used as standalone therapy or in combination with other interventions such as bariatric surgery.

Surgical Weight Loss

For patients considering, or who have had, Bariatric Surgery, including Sleeve Gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and Single Loop (mini) Gastric Bypass. We work closely with several Bariatric Surgeons in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast, ensuring quality and comprehensive surgical care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work alongside bariatric surgeons in Brisbane?
Yes! We work closely with several highly regarded Bariatric Surgeons in Brisbane. We collaborate with the surgeons to ensure that the patient is very well supported through all stages of the surgical journey. We work together to take care of patients before, during and after bariatric surgery, and offer lifelong support to all bariatric surgery patients.
Will you let my GP know of any changes to my treatment?
Of course! We value and respect the relationship you have with your GP and will notify them of any new clinical findings or treatment plans that we initiate during our consultation. Your GP is an integral part of your health care, we will include them wherever possible so that they can stay up to date with your weight loss plan and progress.
What medications are available for weight loss?
There are several different types of weight loss medications available to treat overweight and obesity. Not every medication is suited to every person. We work closely with you to select the medication that is likely to be successful in achieving weight loss, and we make changes to the treatment plan depending on your individual experiences if required. Your circumstances are unique to you, and we are here every step of the way to help you to navigate your weight loss journey.
Are there any prescription medications available for weight loss on the PBS?

Do weight loss medications have side effects?

Mostly these medications are very well tolerated once you are established on a therapeutic dose. Your GP or Bariatric Doctor is the best person to speak to regarding medication side effects. The different medication options have different side effect profiles, and every person will experience side effects in different ways. Your...
How do I know which medication is right for me?
Weight loss medications work in different ways. Some work to reduce the hunger drive and improve satiety. Some work by reducing food cravings. Some work by blocking absorption of fats in the digestive system. By understanding your medical history, weight history and psychological history, your doctor can assess which medication would be best suited to you as an individual. We perform physical, psychological and metabolic testing to ensure that the correct medication is prescribed to the correct...
