Many people report feeling satisfied with much smaller meals. GLP-1 hormones also shift after surgery, helping regulate appetite naturally.

One of the most meaningful parts of our work is seeing the quiet shift in someone’s eyes when they start to believe in themselves again.

It’s not just about the numbers. It’s about someone beginning to feel proud of their progress, opening up about goals they thought they had to give up, or realising they’re capable of so much more than they imagined.

At Winnett Specialist Group, we care deeply about the person behind the referral. We listen. We take the time. And we honour every step of your journey, because we know the emotional side matters just as much as the physical.

Obesity isn’t one thing. It’s many things.

It's:
🧬 Genetics.
💭 Mental health.
🍽️ Hormones.
💤 Sleep.
🧠 Stress.

It's a complex, multifactorial condition, not a matter of willpower.

That’s why at Winnett Specialist Group, we treat the whole person and not just the weight.

💙 You deserve care that understands the full picture.

Rain, cold, no excuses.
Movement is medicine. 💙

After surgery, getting back into movement can feel a bit daunting (and that’s totally okay).

When you're cleared, the pool can be a great place to start. It’s gentle on your joints and lets you move without pressure (in every sense).

No rush, no intensity. Just a safe, simple way to ease back in and start feeling good in your body again.

Can weight loss meds boost mood, too?

New research suggests GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic® might offer mental health benefits, but it’s still early days.

🧠 Dr. Jason Winnett breaks it down in our latest blog.

Ever feel like your body keeps pulling you back to the same weight, no matter what you try?

That’s called a set point. It’s something we see often, and it can feel discouraging.

But it doesn’t mean you’re stuck. With the right support like nutrition, movement, medication or surgery, it’s possible to shift that pattern.

What works looks different for everyone.

Ever been told your BMI was too high, even though you felt fit and healthy?

BMI doesn’t always tell the full story. It was invented almost 200 years ago by a mathematician, not a doctor.

These days, we also use newer tools like the Body Roundness Index (BRI), which takes body shape and fat distribution into account. It gives us a more complete picture, especially for people with more muscle or different body types.

Surgery or medication? It’s a personal decision, but understanding the facts can help.

At Winnett Specialist Group, surgery is only recommended when it’s truly necessary, after thorough assessment and specialist advice. Your health comes first.
