02 Continuous Weight Loss Maintenance
Q Medical provides a well-structured medical approach to weight loss. This is based on a comprehensive medical consultation to determine what your current weight means for you in the context of your health. This initial consultation will take about 30 to 45 minutes, and we will gather information focused on establishing the determinants of your weight gain. Then, we'll work out a plan with you to help you reach a desired target weight (roughly 10-15% is the usual first target)
We may also order relevant blood tests such as; cholesterol profile, liver function tests, blood sugar levels, thyroid levels, a full blood count and other tests as determined from your history.
Sometimes we may identify health risks that you may not have known about and these will be addressed with you.
All patients are different and the plan for you will reflect this.
Once the plan is started you will have close follow up during the first weeks to track how your plan is working and if needed, modifications can be made. Some patients may benefit from medications and this will be discussed with you.

Weight Loss Maintenance
In the majority of cases, you will lose weight and reach target levels. In some ways this is the easier part of weight management.
Significantly more difficult is maintaining the weight loss and staying close to the healthy weight that has been achieved.
Q Medical will be like your ‘other’ family doctor. We aim to establish a long-term relationship with you to support you in maintaining your weight loss. That's why we'll consistently monitor your progress towards your goals through follow-up calls from our team, approximately every three months after you've reached your target goal.
We will also follow up on blood tests that measure the changes associated with weight loss, such as lipid profile and liver function tests (2 important markers).
This follow up is important because weight gain often follows on from weight loss, which is why many patients struggle to maintain weight loss.
We are here to monitor this and react if needed.
