Medical weight care
Medical support for people living with obesity
Not every patient needs surgery. Not every patient is ready for surgery. Some patients need medical weight management, medication-supported care or structured support before deciding on the next step. OHC helps patients understand their health and treatment options.
When medical weight care may help
- You have obesity-related health conditions
- You have struggled to maintain weight loss
- You are considering weight-loss medication
- You are not ready for surgery
- You want a medically guided plan
- You need support with weight regain
- You want to improve health markers
Medication-supported treatment
Medication works best as part of a broader plan
Weight-loss medication can help some patients by influencing appetite, fullness, cravings or metabolic processes. It is not suitable for everyone and should not be used without proper medical guidance.
At OHC, medication-supported care may include:
What we monitor
Depending on your health profile, monitoring may include:
Weight & waist changes
Blood pressure
Blood glucose / diabetes markers
Cholesterol
Liver markers
Kidney function
Side effects
Nutrition patterns
Medical weight care and surgery are not competing options.
Some patients benefit from medical weight care without surgery. Some may use medical treatment as preparation before surgery. Others may need medication or medical support after surgery as part of long-term care. The right option depends on your health, risks, treatment history and goals — the OHC team will help you understand what may be appropriate for you.
Start with assessment
If you are considering medical weight care or medication, book an assessment. The team will help you understand what is appropriate and safe for you.
