More than 2 in 3 Australian adults are overweight or living with obesity, and for many of your patients, this is directly affecting their ability to manage complex endocrine conditions. At Perth Weight Loss and Surgery, we work in collaboration with referring specialists to help patients achieve meaningful, sustained weight loss through medical and surgical care. Our shared goal: improve health outcomes, enhance treatment responses, and give patients the best chance at a better quality of life.
When patients are struggling with weight, it can compromise the success of even the most carefully planned endocrine treatment. That’s where we step in, not to take over care, but to support your plan. Working together allows us to:
Enhance your treatment outcomes through weight management
Provide a structured care pathway that supports long-term metabolic health
Reduce medication burden where possible
Improve patient motivation and adherence
Address the multifactorial nature of obesity with a supportive, specialist-led team
We accept both GP and specialist referrals. Whether your patient is at the beginning of their journey or has tried multiple approaches before, we offer a medical pathway backed by science and compassion.
Type 1 Diabetes
May reduce insulin requirements and improve glucose stability.
Type 2 Diabetes
Can lead to remission and reduce medication dependence. Obesity contributes to insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction, driven by elevated NEFAs from visceral fat.
Thyroid Disorders
Weight reduction supports better hormonal regulation and symptom control.
Adrenal Disorders
Helps stabilise hormonal output and improve metabolic function.
Cushing’s / Pituitary Conditions
Reducing weight supports improved hormonal control and reduces cardiometabolic risk.
Growth Hormone Disorders
Improved weight status aids in managing energy balance and physical outcomes.
Lipid Disorders
Aids in improving lipid profiles and cardiovascular health. Seen in up to 70% of people with obesity, linked to disrupted lipid metabolism and increased LDL/low HDL.
Metabolic Syndrome
Obesity is central to this risk profile, which includes hypertension and impaired glucose metabolism.
We’re not about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. Our job is to work alongside you to give patients the structured weight loss care they need, so your care plan works even better.
Bariatric surgery results in 61% of patients with type 2 diabetes discontinuing medication within 5 years.
GLP-1 medications (e.g. Ozempic, Saxenda) are proven to lower HbA1c, suppress appetite, and support weight loss, but long-term success depends on integrated, multidisciplinary care.
Weight loss of just 5% improves β-cell function and insulin sensitivity, reducing insulin resistance.
Surgical intervention also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, select cancers, and diabetic complications.
Obesity management can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by up to 80% in high-risk individuals.
We understand that managing diabetes and obesity goes far beyond weight loss. We’re here to complement your care with a tailored, multidisciplinary approach that improves outcomes without burdening your clinic. Whether your patient needs medication review, surgical consultation, or integrated lifestyle support, we can help.
