Understanding Obesity: A chronic disease, Not a Personal Failure

At Gastroscope, we recognise that obesity is a complex, chronic medical condition, not simply the result of lack of willpower or lifestyle choices. It is influenced by a range of factors—hormonal, genetic, psychological, and environmental. We approach weight management with the same care and depth as any other long-term health condition.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Your weight loss journey deserves a personalised, evidence-based approach. Whether you're considering endoscopic weight loss procedures, lifestyle change support, or long-term medical management, we are here to guide you through each step. Our goal is not just to help you lose weight—but to help you understand your body, address the root causes of weight gain, and achieve sustainable, long-term health.

This is your journey—and you're not alone.

With expert care, compassionate support, and a tailored plan, meaningful change is possible. Let’s take the next step, together.

How we approach Obesity

We employ following steps to weight loss:

Initial medical assessment:

Doctor sees you for an initial consultation and explores your medical history in great detail. Idea is to identify diagnosed or undiagnosed health conditions and medications that may be contributing to weight gain or difficulty in losing it.

Detailed lifestyle and dietary assessment:

This is done by our dieticians and weight loss psychologists. The importance of our lifestyle, habits, dietary choices and eating patterns cannot be overstated. A complex disease like obesity cannot be properly managed without addressing these.

Psychological assessment:

Weight loss psychologists are experts in helping people make behavioural and lifestyle changes that assist with weight management. This is often neglected, as both patients and some doctors tend to focus on more tangible strategies. It is also imperative to identify co-existing mental illnesses, as without managing them weight loss can not be achieved.

Follow up consultation:

At this consultation an individualised approach is utilised to construct a weight loss management plan.
