Hello Interloper!

We would always recommend that you visit your General Practitioner (GP) before embarking on private treatment for weight loss. As well as their advice and guidance, they may also be able to refer you to a local NHS Hospital who can treat you depending on any additional health conditions associated with your weight.The BMI check, together with a waist measurement and blood pressure check, is also available free of charge through the NHS if you are concerned about being obese. However, if your BMI is less than 30 it is unlikely to result in any intervention, such as prescribed weight loss pills or surgery on the National Health Service. You will likely be provided with diet plans and exercise programmes.Your GP surgery should always be contacted before you undertake a private consultation for weight loss treatment. This is to ensure that you are aware of any medical conditions that might make your condition a cause for concern, and any medical history can also be made accessible to the private clinic with your permission.
