Why has weightloss surgery declined in demand?
I’ll be honest—I’ve been deep in thought about surgeries not as high in demand, and there are a few understandable reasons for that:
1. Medications are available, though they can be expensive and come with a higher risk of regain. How long do you have it for and will it always be available? I’m not saying whether this is the right or wrong choice; it’s always a personal decision. However, if you do opt for medication, having a supportive team is crucial. Our “Metabolic” program is designed to provide that support while you’re on weight loss medication.
2. Financially, weightloss surgery is a significant investment, especially in this economy. But we also see it as a “cost opportunity” you shouldn’t overlook—an investment in yourself. Think about where you could be in 12 months with weight loss surgery. What could you achieve after surgery that might otherwise remain out of reach?
3. As for popularity in choosing us—do you find it valuable to have a team you can call on whenever you need, or do you prefer to go it alone? Is having us in your corner “cool,” or just a trend for a small minority? On average our clinic could be for some $1500 more than going directly to a surgeon and if we look at it from this angle – it’s a mean average of 8 reviews vs a full 12 months of multidisciplinary care. I would say on average, we review a patient at least 30-40 times over a 12 month period. Offering our exclusive program puts patients first. I personally believe that accessible healthcare is vital. What do you think?
4. Do you really miss out on anything by having weight loss surgery, or does it actually make you more capable? Weight loss surgery can help you achieve your full potential.
5. A supportive environment empowers you to make your own choices. Are you concerned about being judged, and does that weigh on you? Is your environment holding you back from making a decision? Maybe it’s time to take control of your own path and shine on your own terms?
In conclusion, whatever path is chosen, it’s important to make an informed decision that aligns with your goals and values. We’re here to support people who want and need a team, whether that’s through our surgical services, medication programs, complete clinical care, 1:1 private clinic, or just by providing a space where people can explore options. Your health journey is unique, and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
