Medically Supported
Weight Loss
Treatment
If you’ve been struggling to manage your weight, you’re not alone. MedSurg Weight Loss provides medically supported, non-surgical and surgical approaches designed to help you achieve sustainable weight loss. Our team develops holistic, individualised treatment plans, incorporating metabolic health assessments and, where medically appropriate, weight loss medications.
Our Approach
A Personalised Approach to
Weight Management
At our Metabolic & Weight Loss Clinic in Brisbane, we create tailored plans based on your health profile, metabolic needs, and long-term goals. This approach includes metabolic health assessments, personalised weight management strategies, and, where clinically appropriate, medications such as weight loss injections or weight loss tablets.
Ongoing monitoring and adjustments ensure that your treatment remains effective, while our allied health professionals, including dietitians and psychologists, provide holistic support to guide you through your weight loss journey.
Patients are always free to choose any bariatric surgeon they prefer. If you have an existing relationship with a surgeon, we are happy to collaborate with them to support your care.

About the Treatment
Your Patient
Journey
Every journey at MedSurg starts the same way — with us listening. Here is what to expect from your first contact through to long-term care.
Initial Consultation
Your doctor will review your medical history, weight history, previous weight loss attempts, lifestyle, eating patterns and health goals. No referral is needed to book.
Assessment
Physical examination, metabolic testing and psychological screening where indicated — so we understand your full health picture and can tailor your program from day one.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Your doctor will develop a programme tailored to your individual needs — which may include prescription medication, allied health referrals, or both. Benefits, risks and expectations are discussed in detail.
Ongoing Monitoring
Regular follow-up appointments to assess your progress, manage any side effects and adjust your treatment plan as needed. We do not set and forget.
Long-Term Support
Continued care through the maintenance phase, with allied health involvement available at every stage of your journey.
Treatment Options
Weight Loss
Medications
Your doctor will recommend the approach best suited to your individual health profile. Options are not mutually exclusive — many patients use a combination at different stages of their programme.
Mimics a natural gut hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. Reduces hunger signals, slows stomach emptying, and helps you feel full sooner and longer.
- Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
- Clinically significant weight loss in trials
- Also improves blood sugar and cardiovascular risk markers
A newer dual-action medication that activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors simultaneously — amplifying appetite suppression and metabolic benefits beyond single-receptor agents.
- Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
- Among the highest weight-loss results in clinical trials
- Also indicated for type 2 diabetes management
A fixed-dose combination tablet that acts on the brain's reward and appetite-regulating pathways. Reduces cravings and compulsive eating behaviours alongside promoting satiety.
- Twice-daily oral tablet
- Targets food cravings and compulsive eating
- May suit those who prefer oral medication
Works in the digestive system — not the brain — by blocking an enzyme that breaks down dietary fat. Reduces the amount of fat absorbed from food by approximately one third.
- Taken with each main meal
- Works locally in the gut — minimal systemic absorption
- Long-established safety record
A short-term appetite suppressant that acts on the central nervous system to reduce hunger. Used as a kickstart alongside lifestyle change, typically for a defined treatment period.
- Once-daily oral tablet
- Rapid appetite suppression effect
- Prescribed for short-term use; doctor-monitored
Your doctor will assess your medical history, metabolic health and goals to recommend the most appropriate option for your individual situation.
