Weight Loss Service
The Hywel Dda UHB Weight Management Service (WMS) is available to people living in Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion who have a body mass index (BMI) of more that 25kg/m2, are over 18 years old and would like to lose some weight.
The WMS offers a range of interventions and treatment pathways. There are different factors including your medical history and weight management history which will affect what treatment pathway is best suited to you in addition to your preferences, and the appropriate treatment pathway will be agreed with you when you enter the WMS.
If you are referring yourself because you would like weight loss medication or weight loss surgery, please note that these are only likely to be successful when used as part of an overall weight management plan. This means that you will need to engage with and demonstrate changes to the factors contributing to your weight management difficulties before a referral to the specialist weight management clinic is considered. This specialist team will assess your needs and suitability individually.
