

Reduce surgical risks

Individuals with excess weight or obesity often face higher risks during surgery, including complications with anaesthesia, infections, and wound healing. Prehabilitation weight loss helps lower these risks by improving metabolic and cardiovascular health, thereby reducing the likelihood of adverse events during and after surgery.



Improves mobility

Patients who undergo orthopaedic or joint surgeries, such as knee or hip replacements, benefit significantly from prehabilitation weight loss. It reduces the strain on joints and muscles, allowing for easier rehabilitation and improved mobility after surgery. This can also prevent further wear and tear on joints, reducing the likelihood of future surgeries.



Improve recovery

Patients who lose weight before surgery typically experience faster recovery times. Prehabilitation weight loss can improve a patient’s strength, endurance, and overall physical fitness, which aids in faster healing and rehabilitation post-surgery. This can lead to shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily activities.

Lowers inflammation

Excess weight often leads to chronic low-grade inflammation in the body, which can interfere with the healing process after surgery. Prehabilitation weight loss helps reduce inflammation, improving the body’s ability to recover and heal efficiently post-operatively.



Heart & lung health

Obesity is often associated with poor cardiovascular and respiratory function. By losing weight in advance, patients can improve their heart and lung function, which is vital for safely undergoing general anaesthesia and for post-operative recovery.



Boosts immunity

Weight loss, especially when combined with proper nutrition and physical conditioning, enhances the immune system. A stronger immune system is critical for reducing the risk of infections and promoting quicker recovery after surgery.

"

Reduce complications

Weight loss before surgery lowers the risk of post-operative complications such as infections, blood clots, and delayed wound healing. It also reduces strain on the body, particularly in high-impact surgeries like joint replacements.



Long term health

Prehabilitation weight loss encourages patients to adopt healthier habits, including better nutrition and regular physical activity, which can reduce the risk of obesity-related chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.



Increases confidence

Prehabilitation weight loss not only prepares the body but also the mind. Patients who undergo weight loss before surgery often feel more confident, empowered, and mentally prepared for the surgical process. This psychological boost can contribute to a more positive recovery experience.



Improves precision

In some cases, excess body fat can make surgical procedures more difficult for the surgeon due to limited visibility or restricted access to organs or tissues. Losing weight pre-surgery can enhance the surgeon’s ability to perform the procedure with greater precision, leading to better overall outcomes.

Our evidence-based approach ensures that we address both the metabolic and behavioural aspects of weight management, with a focus on long-term sustainability and improved quality of life.

Access continuous support

Patients receive continuous support through regular consultations, progress tracking, and educational resources. By combining pharmacotherapy with lifestyle modifications, including nutrition counselling and exercise planning, we empower our patients to achieve and maintain their healthy weight while improving overall wellness.

Whether you’re dealing with obesity or looking to shed a few pounds to enhance your health, our program provides the tools and guidance necessary for lasting success.

Prehabilitation for better outcomes

Prehabilitation weight loss is a proactive weight loss process that is often used before undergoing major medical procedures. The goal is to optimise a patient’s health and physical condition before surgery or other treatments to improve outcomes and recovery.
