Medication can help with weight loss but it’s not the whole story. This new article from MedScape talks about how nutritional counseling is still the foundation of safe, effective, and lasting weight loss.
New medications have shown incredible results but they work best when combined with expert guidance on nutrition, exercise, and behavior change. Why? Because weight loss is more than just numbers on a scale. It's about managing risks, protecting your health, and building habits that last.
We know that a combined approach gives the best outcomes which is why we have a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, doctors and allied health professionals. Call us on 9760 2777 to book an appointment.

How does bariatric surgery compare to weight loss medications in a real world setting? Most of the data available about weight loss medications is based on clinical trials where the participants are provided with the medication and a support team to follow them up.
However, a new study by Brown et al. has shown that in a real world setting bariatric surgery leads to 5 times more weight loss than weight loss medications after 2 years. This was largely due to participants stopping the medications, usually by the end of the first year.
Want to learn more about whether bariatric surgery or weight loss medications would work for you? Call us on 9760 2777 to make an appointment.

Are you taking a medication for weight loss or thinking about starting one?
A new study found that over 20% of adults taking weight loss medications developed nutritional deficiencies within a year of starting treatment.

At LapSurgery Australia we offer a complete team of support staff including specialist weight loss GPs and dietitians who can help patients along their journey with weight loss medications and avoid vitamin nutrient deficiencies. Call us on 9760 2777 to find out more.
