Local support
Your GP can also refer you to a specialist weight management service if you need more intense support to help you lose weight, including:
- local weight management services provided by the NHS in your area
- national programmes, such as the NHS Digital Weight Management Programme
It can take several months of making lifestyle changes and possibly using medicine before you start to see changes in your weight and any related health conditions.
