Musgrove Park Hospital Weight Management Service

 

We are a specialised Tier 3 weight management centre, seeing 40-50 people a month. We offer a number of programmes focusing on lifestyle and dietary changes, medication and psychological support. All patients considering bariatric surgery are seen in our service as part of their assessment for suitability for surgery.  It is important that patients are fully prepared for this life-changing procedure. We work closely with surgical team to ensure patients who go for surgery are fully prepared and risks are minimised.

We also see an increasing number of people with rarer conditions linked to obesity such as those with genetic causes, craniopharyngiomas and Prader-Willi syndrome.
