Our Services
What we offer
At Sheffield Weight Management we are specialists in supporting you with your weight loss plan.
We offer a bespoke plan, taking into account your preferences and goals before supporting you in selecting any assistance you may desire in losing weight. We can prescribe you treatments which can make a big difference in helping you to lose weight.
Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a new injectable medicine that can support you in losing weight.
It helps to reduce your appetite, make you feel fuller for longer, reducing the likelihood of you snacking, and helps to alter the foods you do crave. It reduces your craving for sugary and fatty foods, and leaves your desire for fruits and vegetables unaffected.
Orlistat
Orlistat helps you to lose weight by binding fat in your intestine before your body absorbs it.
This results in fatty, oily, unpleasant stools, which can leak, forcing you to change your diet.
