Weight Loss Options
There are many ways to address weight loss treatment, including non-surgical options.
What Are Your Options?
In the practice, the team investigates everything that may impact your metabolic status, such as a nutritional deficit, in particular Vit D, Vit B12 and iron.
Our practice regularly discusses other conditions that may adversely effect your weight such as obstructive sleep apnoea.
Each Case Treated Individually
It is the purpose of the team to walk with each individual on their journey.
In my opinion, thorough metabolic analysis in advance of treatment, ensures the best patient outcome.
Non-Surgical and Surgical Options
Various non surgical options include medications as well as Orbera balloon.
Surgical procedures include sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and SADI procedure.
We do this as a team providing support at group meetings, while you decide what is right for you.

Note From Dr Lockie
Medications will be assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively. With weight-loss and particularly after surgery, comorbidities can change for the better, particularly e.g., hypertension or diabetes. It is essential for your health that medications are discussed with you, your GP and/or any other specialists such as Cardiologist or Endocrinologist etc.
In addition, use of multivitamins, and alternative supplements should be discussed with the practice to promote your better health.
