    Yes, not every patient needs surgery. In appropriate cases, we explore non-surgical options such as dietary changes, medication, behavioural strategies, and lifestyle modifications.I work with a team who can support these approaches where suitable. In particular, when it comes to medications for obesity or weight loss, patients are offered a multidisciplinary team approach to ensure safety and the best possible outcomes.
