Weight Loss Service

Are you tired of trying to lose weight? Have you tried every diet going without long term success? Do you feel overwhelmed by conflicting information in the media and unsure where to turn for safe, medically guided support? Then our Private GP weight loss service in Eastbourne might just be what you are looking for.

Your Weight Loss Service

You want to lose weight safely, with personalised support from people who understand what works – and what doesn’t. You want expert, medical guidance that helps you stay on track and feel confident along the way.

That’s exactly what SDHC’s Weight Loss Service offers. You can choose face-to-face or virtual appointments, designed to fit around your life and provide consistent, caring support at every stage of your journey.

Where appropriate, your plan may include medical treatments to help manage food cravings, slow stomach emptying, and keep you feeling fuller for longer – supporting sustainable, healthy change.

Unlike many online programmes, your service will be delivered by qualified GPs and nurses who ensure your progress remains safe, effective, and fully supported.

Suitability Assessment

Is Medical Weight Loss Treatment Right for You?

Before starting any medical weight loss treatment, it’s important to understand whether it’s clinically appropriate for your individual health needs.

As part of your journey with us, you’ll undergo a full assessment. This is your opportunity to speak with a qualified clinician who will take the time to understand your health history, current medications, and personal goals. Together, you’ll explore:

Any existing health conditions or treatments
Your medical background
Your Body Mass Index (BMI)​
The potential benefits of weight loss in your case
Any risks or side effects associated with treatment options

Assessment Designed for Your Wellbeing

This assessment is designed to protect your wellbeing. Certain conditions, such as thyroid cancer history, gallbladder disease, or pancreatitis, may mean some treatments aren’t suitable.

If so, your clinician will explain why and guide you toward safe, effective alternatives.

If Medical Treatment Isn't Suitable for You

If you’re not medically eligible for clinical treatments, your safety always comes first. There are still personalised options available to support your weight loss goals.

Our team provides tailored guidance using lifestyle changes, nutrition support, and behavioural strategies suited to your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? We have the answers. If you don’t find what you are looking for, our team is happy to help during your free screening call.

Do I have to tell my GP that I am taking weight loss treatments?
Yes. For your safety and continuity of care, we require that your regular GP is informed of any treatment initiated through our service. This ensures your wider healthcare team is aware of your weight management plan and can support you appropriately.
This will be discussed with the GP at your consultation.
If you are eligible, treatment is provided through SDHC following the initial assessment.
There is no obligation for you to keep using this service. However, any treatment plan should be discussed with your clincian before making changes to ensure safe discontinuation and ongoing support.

If you have completed our weight loss questionnaire but have not heard from us within 72 hours, please call us on 01323 402790 for assistance.
