Battling with weight-related issues? . At Albany Medical Centre, we can help you achieve your weight-loss goals, and improve your health and quality of life!
Your first visit to Albany Medical Centre
Choosing to manage your weight will result in you feeling healthier and more confident about your body. When you book an initial appointment, you will be seen by a qualified doctor & you will also receive advice regarding a balanced diet.
Once you have finished a course of treatment, to help maintain your weight, you can come back at regular intervals to be weighed free of charge, and if you feel that your weight is creeping back on you can book in to see the doctor.
Following a consultation with our Doctor to help you begin your weight loss journey we can offer various appetite control medications such as tablet medication Phentermine, injectable treatments Mounjaro and Wegovy and fat blocking medication Orlistat.
Prior to your first appointment with the doctor, we will first need to establish your BMI ( body mass Index) as you need to have a BMI in excess of 30 (27 with associated comorbidities), not be taking any medication for conditions such as epilepsy or depression, and provide confirmation that you are over the age of 18 (ID required) before any appointment can be offered.
At your first appointment, you will be asked to provide your medical history, fill out a registration form, a medical record, be weighed and have your height & blood pressure taken. After this, you will then see our doctor who will discuss your current diet and assess your suitability for treatment by taking into account your medical history, your height and weight, and your willingness to follow our treatment programme.
Once it is established that you would be medically suitable and that you are completely happy to proceed with the treatment the doctor will advise you of our calorie deficit low fat, low sugar diet programme and will discuss the medication treatment options that can help you manage your weight and follow the diet , all the medication we provide is designed to reduce your appetite and therefore help you to follow the diet, you will also be encouraged to exercise more which is beneficial to assist your weight loss as well as your general health and well being
We do have a lot of people that return to us periodically if they feel that their weight is starting to “creep back on”.
