What is a consultation with an obesity specialist?
A consultation with an obesity specialist (first-time visit) is a visit with a doctor who diagnoses and treats obesity and weight-related issues. The doctor will assess your health, help you understand the causes of excess weight, and propose effective solutions, such as lifestyle changes, diet adjustments, or pharmacological therapies.
Who is it for?
The consultation is for individuals:
- struggling with overweight or obesity,
- having difficulty maintaining a healthy body weight,
- noticing health problems related to weight (e.g., diabetes, hypertension),
- looking to improve their health and quality of life.
How to prepare?
Before the visit, it is recommended to:
- Arrive 20 minutes early for measurements to be taken by the nurses.
- Do not eat or consume excessive amounts of beverages for at least 4 hours beforehand.
- Avoid intense physical activity.
What happens during the consultation?
