Aintree LOSS is a Specialist Weight Management service that offers a multidisciplinary approach to weight management for adults in Liverpool living with Complex Obesity with a BMI of 50+ or BMI 35+ who need to lose weight for essential surgery, fertility treatment or cancer treatment.
The team includes GPs with a special interest in obesity, dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and health care support workers.
All patients are initially assessed on an individual basis so that the programme can be individually tailored to meet their needs and any medical concerns are identified early in the pathway.
We primarily offer a group-based programme, however, in certain cases one-to-one follow-up appointments are available.
The dietitians, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, and psychologists are specially trained to address lifestyle change whilst considering the health problems associated with obesity.
Bariatric surgery is discussed with patients who meet the preliminary criteria and those who wish to consider surgery will be offered support to help them to access this.
Aintree LOSS is currently not able to offer GLP1 Injectable Weight Loss medications such as Wegovy.
