Garsfontein · Pretoria East
Medical weight management starts with an assessment.
Discuss your weight-related concerns, medical history and previous approaches with Dr Hanlie Lottering. Your first appointment includes an InBody assessment and meal plan.
Start with an individual consultation to understand your options and discuss the care and support appropriate for you.
What we discuss at your assessment
Your daily routine
Eating patterns, physical activity, sleep and practical challenges. Your meal plan is discussed in the context of your health needs and routine.
Your next steps
Discuss suitable management options, the support you may need and whether follow-up or referral is appropriate. Treatment decisions depend on your assessment.
A care plan you can discuss and understand.
Weight management involves more than a measurement on a scale. Your consultation considers your overall health, previous experiences, preferences and the changes that fit your circumstances.
Dr Lottering will discuss appropriate options and their potential benefits, risks and costs. These may include nutrition and activity guidance, medical treatment where clinically suitable, or referral for additional support.
A particular treatment or amount of weight loss is not guaranteed. Progress and follow-up requirements vary between individuals.
What is an InBody assessment?
An InBody assessment estimates body composition, including body fat and muscle mass. The findings are considered alongside your medical history and clinical assessment. They do not replace an individual medical consultation.
