Let’s Talk About Your Next Step.
If you've been doing your best—taking the medication, making lifestyle changes—and still not seeing results, you're not alone. Whether you’ve had little success or found the weight creeping back, it’s okay to feel frustrated or discouraged.
But this isn’t the end of your journey. It might be the beginning of a new, more effective path.
Why Might the Medication Not Be Working for You?
Weight loss medications can help many people, but everyone responds differently. If they haven't worked well for you, there could be reasons such as:
- Your genetics or metabolism may make medications less effective
- Hormones or mental health factors (like emotional eating or stress) may be playing a role
- Lifestyle gaps—things like sleep, activity, and nutrition—can limit progress
- Hitting a plateau after early success is also incredibly common
Why Is the Weight Coming Back?
If you’ve lost weight on medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro, but now find yourself regaining it, please know that this is also common—and not your fault.
This can happen because:
- Appetite returns when the medication is reduced or stopped
- Your body may be fighting back to preserve weight through metabolic adaptation
- The root causes—like insulin resistance or food cravings—may still be there underneath
Is Weight Loss Surgery Right for You?
If you’ve already tried multiple medications, followed advice, and still feel stuck, weight loss surgery might be a powerful option to consider.
Unlike medications alone, surgery can:
- Switch off hunger hormones and reset your body’s signals
- Help with insulin resistance, inflammation, and weight plateaus
- Create long-term anatomical and metabolic changes
- Also improve related conditions like type 2 diabetes, reflux, or sleep apnoea
This is not about "giving up." It’s about finding what works for you—for the long run.
What Are My Surgical Options?
| Surgery Type | How It Works | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|
| Sleeve Gastrectomy | Removes 80% of your stomach, lowering hunger hormone ghrelin | ~30% total weight loss, better control of appetite |
| Gastric Bypass | Creates a small pouch and reroutes your digestion | ~30% total weight loss, strong diabetes remission |
| Revision Surgery | Adjusts or corrects a previous weight loss surgery | Tailored to your past and current needs |
