Medical Weight Loss

Not everyone with obesity requires or wants surgery. Dr Cocco offers comprehensive medical weight management using clinically proven prescription medications, supported by a multidisciplinary team including dietitians and psychologists. This can be a standalone treatment, a bridge to surgery, or a tool for ongoing weight maintenance after a procedure.

 

Weight loss medications

A new generation of prescription weight loss medications has transformed medical weight management, achieving significant and sustained weight loss in many patients. Dr Cocco can assess whether medication therapy is appropriate for you, prescribe and titrate medications as needed, and monitor you safely throughout treatment. Specific medications will be discussed at your consultation.

 

Holistic care team

Medical weight management involves more than a prescription. Dr Cocco will guide your treatment with nutritional guidance input from a dietitian and behavioural support from psychologists.   

​

Is surgery still an option?

Medical weight loss and surgery are not mutually exclusive. Some patients begin with medications and progress to surgery if needed; others use medications to maintain results after a bariatric procedure. Dr Cocco will discuss all options with you at your consultation.
