Everyone wants to have a healthy weight. Unfortunately, we can find ourselves living with excess weight which can be very difficult to lose. Whether you worry about your appearance, health, or self-confidence, we can help.

We can offer a medication supported weight-loss programme which is very safe, tailored to your needs and addresses why you may have gained weight in the first place-this makes it easier to maintain your weight loss.

Many believe that losing weight is simply a matter of self-discipline, will power and self- denial.  We now understand that this is completely wrong. Obesity is a chronic condition with many contributing factors far beyond eating less and exercising more!  Other factors include hormones, genetics, neurological factors and your environment. Nature can be unkind because our bodies strongly fight us in our attempts to lose weight which is why we often lose weight only to regain it again-with interest!

Fortunately, you don’t have to accept this and we want to help you to maximise your chances of losing weight and keeping it off. 

Our new programme is bespoke and tailored to your specific needs. This includes:

  • Treatment with injections with a proven track record to maximise your weight-loss. These reduce your appetite and keep you fuller for longer.

 

What makes us different?

  • Absolute confidentially in our discreet Harley Street clinic.
  • Frank discussions to establish if there is a root cause of your excess weight.
  • Screening for ADHD and lipoedema.
  • Regular contact with your clinician via face to face, phone, email or Zoom.
  • Careful analysis of blood results and supplements as required
  • We only used drugs licenced for weight-loss. We don’t offer budget alternatives imported from overseas. We will increase medication options once they have UK licences for weight loss.
  • With your agreement, we will update your GP or other specialists regarding your care and adapt care accordingly.
  • We help you to set realistic goals and concentrate on your personal concerns.
  • We carefully work with you to understand what may be causing your excess weight. This makes weight-loss more effective and you are more likely to keep the weight off for longer.
  • We check to see if you take any medication or have any health conditions that cause weight-gain
  • Medication using drugs that are especially licenced for weight loss.

 

Our most popular medication is an injection which mimics a naturally occurring hormone (GLP-1) that is released after you eat. The natural hormone makes you feel full and reduces your hunger after you eat but the effect only lasts for a few minutes. The injection has the same effect but lasts for 13-15 hours.

As you start to lose the weight, your skin becomes lax which could end up distorting the slim figure that you are trying to achieve. In order to maintain the tone of your body, losing weight should go had in hand with skin tightening. We can help by offering a variety of treatments including:

FAQ's

The drug is available if you have a BMI of 30 or greater (living with obesity) or 27 (overweight) with other weight related problems e.g high blood pressure

There are a small number of people that can’t take this medication but we can offer alternative medications that work in different ways. We offer absolute discretion although we would recommend that you advise your GP or specialists.

You will be able to discuss any concerns or questions with your clinician between visits.

The medication doesn’t work for a tiny number of people. We don’t want you to use a medication that doesn’t work or doesn’t suit you. For this reason, we have very close contact with you in the first 3 months. We will discuss other options.

It is quite possible because a drug only works while you take it. Fortunately, we will have worked with you to explore your relationship with food so you may not have the desire to return to your old eating habits. We will always be pleased to see you again if you want to return to us.

The drug won’t help you if you have type 1 diabetes.

It is likely to help if you have type 2 diabetes although we would recommend that you discuss this with your diabetic team because this may influence other treatments.

The main medication is by a tiny injection that you administer yourself. It uses a pen-like device so you don’t need to worry about needles and syringes. We will show you how to use it. Most people don’t feel the needle or just notice a tiny scratch.

We have another option offering tablets.

Absolutely not. We think that you should eat normal food and go to restaurants with your family and friends.

We don’t ban anything. If you are smart with your other food choices, there is no reason why can’t drink your favourite wine or enjoy a chocolate mousse or sweet treats.

The first few weeks can cause some symptoms of light nausea, constipation or loose stools but nothing nasty.

It depends on how much you want to lose but we expect 4 months onwards.

It generally works for everyone although you may find that you consider a surgical option after discussing your circumstances with our expert clinician. We refer to expert surgeons if you consider surgery. We would continue your aftercare. Some people use the injections to prepare for surgery. Others may restart injections when their weight-loss slows down.

We like to see you for your initial consultation in-person. At the appointment, we discuss your needs and plan your follow up appointment. This may include face to face, via the internet or even via email if you prefer. You can chose what works for you.
