Obesity is a chronic disease. Like many other diseases, it can present in different ways for different patients, it can worsen over time, and it can result in a number of additional health issues.<\/p>\n
There are several options for obesity treatment, including behaviour and lifestyle modifications, weight-loss medications<\/a>, gastric balloons<\/a>, minimally invasive endoscopic procedures<\/a>, and bariatric surgery. Every patient responds differently to each of these treatment options. Some respond incredibly well, others not as well, with most patients being in the middle.<\/p>\n Because of this, just like with any disease, flexibility in treatment approach is key. We adopt a patient-centric approach, designing individualised treatment plans using the full spectrum of obesity treatments as needed. Our multidisciplinary solutions can effectively maximise results, improve the patient\u2019s overall experience, and minimise side effects.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Numbers” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”833455cd-261b-4766-a7ee-97a219d52e00″ collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][dsm_dual_heading before_text=”Types of” middle_text=”Combination Therapies” middle_margin=”|5px||10px|false|false” before_margin_tablet=”” before_margin_phone=”|5px||0px|false|false” before_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” middle_margin_tablet=”|5px||10px|false|false” middle_margin_phone=”|5px||0px|false|false” middle_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”02f1f4c3-d353-46c7-bb24-656d0aea0cff” header_line_height=”1.5em” after_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_line_height_tablet=”1.5em” header_line_height_phone=”1.2em” header_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” before_font_size_tablet=”32px” before_font_size_phone=”22px” before_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” before_letter_spacing_tablet=”3px” before_letter_spacing_phone=”2px” before_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|tablet” middle_font_size_tablet=”32px” middle_font_size_phone=”22px” middle_font_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” middle_letter_spacing_tablet=”3px” middle_letter_spacing_phone=”2px” middle_letter_spacing_last_edited=”on|tablet” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dsm_dual_heading][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”e605efd8-d978-4604-be65-35a2ca7ec9bc” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”bbaf3c90-507d-4b26-8c46-0ad241f760b8″ text_text_color=”#05193A” custom_margin=”20px||0px||false|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Many combination therapies can be utilised under the guidance of Mr. Vasilikostas:<\/p>\n The best combination of weight-reduction therapies for each patient will be determined during their personalised consultation.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Body 1 – 3 images” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”c75e9689-e9d4-4032-997d-998d784d8919″ custom_margin=”60px|60px|0px|60px|false|true” box_shadow_vertical=”-180px” collapsed=”on” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ make_equal=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”27px|0px|0px|0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ custom_padding=”12%|||” custom_padding_tablet=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][dsm_dual_heading before_text=”Are Combination Therapies” middle_text=”Right for Me” after_text=”?” middle_margin=”|||0px|false|false” before_margin_tablet=”” before_margin_phone=”|5px|||false|false” before_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” middle_margin_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” middle_margin_phone=”|||0px|false|false” middle_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”fb5a0a9b-e8e5-4a9a-9da6-22b41208f259″ custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||true|false” header_line_height_tablet=”” header_line_height_phone=”1.2em” header_line_height_last_edited=”on|phone” before_font_size_tablet=”33px” before_font_size_phone=”22px” before_letter_spacing_tablet=”3px” before_letter_spacing_phone=”2px” middle_font_size_tablet=”33px” middle_font_size_phone=”22px” middle_letter_spacing_tablet=”3px” middle_letter_spacing_phone=”2px” after_font_size_tablet=”33px” after_font_size_phone=”22px” after_letter_spacing_tablet=”3px” after_letter_spacing_phone=”2px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/dsm_dual_heading][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”e605efd8-d978-4604-be65-35a2ca7ec9bc” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”bbaf3c90-507d-4b26-8c46-0ad241f760b8″ custom_margin=”20px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Overweight, obese, and morbidly obese patients may all benefit from combination therapies, depending on their needs, goals, and expectations.<\/p>\n Patients who are not willing to undergo surgical weight-loss procedures may instead benefit from a combination of non-surgical options.
