About the procedure

A little clarity.
A considered decision.

Some prescription injectable medicines support weight management by affecting appetite and fullness. They are used alongside changes to nutrition and physical activity, and the appropriate medicine depends on clinical assessment and local prescribing rules. A prescriber should review health conditions, other medicines and pregnancy plans before treatment. Regular review is important for monitoring response and side effects. These medicines are not suitable for everyone, and no particular amount of weight loss can be promised. Inform your surgical team if you use them before an operation.

A little clarity

Your questions,
answered.

Can I start without a prescription?

No. These are prescription medicines requiring a clinical assessment.

Do injections replace nutrition and activity changes?

They are intended to be used alongside a broader weight-management plan.

Should I mention them before surgery?

Yes. Tell the anaesthetic and surgical teams and follow their personalised instructions.

Does adding this procedure confirm my suitability?

No. Build My Plan records your interests for discussion. A qualified clinician must assess suitability, risks and any alternatives.

How do I find out my own recovery plan?
