Weight loss patient stories

Real experiences from people on a weight loss journey with PrivateDoc. This video was recorded at our May 2025 Patient Participation Group (PPG), where patients share success stories, challenges, and what helped them stay on track.

Dr Ruch Karunadasa, our Chief Medical Officer, joins the discussion to reflect on what we learn from patients and how that shapes the support we offer through our weight loss service.

Individual patient stories

Short reflections from patients who took part in our May 2025 Patient Participation Group. Individual results vary.

Matty’s story

Matty has lost 40 kg and 18 inches around his waist. He has felt supported by the team and all his questions have been answered with no judgement. Matty feels like Matty again.

Sophie and Lizzie’s story

Sophie started first and lost some weight and looked healthier. Lizzie decided to follow what her daughter had done to lose some stubborn weight and improve her physical health to keep up with her grandchildren.

Anna C’s story

Anna now has a healthy BMI again. It’s changed her life — she feels well, is happy and more confident again.

Sarah M’s story

Sarah’s children like that she is happier because of her weight loss, not just because she is now thinner.

About our Patient Participation Group

Our PPG brings together patients who use PrivateDoc services so we can listen, learn, and improve. At our May 2025 meeting, a major focus was sharing weight loss success stories: what changed in everyday life, how clinical support helped, and what patients wish they had known earlier.

Individual results vary. These stories are personal experiences, not a guarantee of outcomes. Treatment is only appropriate after a clinical assessment; always follow the advice of your prescriber.
