Professional obesity treatment under medical supervision
Clinic for comprehensive obesity treatment in the centre of Ljubljana. Individual approach, body composition analysis and monthly progress monitoring — all under one roof.
Why Obesity is a Disease That Requires Treatment
Obesity is not a matter of willpower or discipline — it is a chronic metabolic disease that the World Health Organization (WHO) has recognised since 1997.
In Slovenia, 37.7% of the adult population is overweight, of which 17.2% meet the criteria for obesity (BMI ≥ 30). When dieting, the body hormonally resists weight loss — which is why diets fail long-term in more than 95% of cases.
Modern obesity treatment is a comprehensive approach that, with the help of medications and lifestyle changes, enables more lasting weight loss under medical supervision. Results are individual and depend on several factors.

Book your first appointmentFrequently Asked Questions
How to obtain obesity treatment medications in Slovenia?
Obesity medications are prescription drugs that can only be prescribed by a doctor. At our clinic, the doctor conducts an examination, assesses treatment suitability and issues a private prescription, with which you purchase the medication at any pharmacy in Slovenia.
How much does obesity treatment cost?
The first appointment costs €140 incl. VAT, and monthly follow-up appointments are €80 incl. VAT. In addition, you pay for the medication at the pharmacy — the monthly cost depends on the type of medication and dosage. There are also the Monitoring programme (3 months, €420) and the Transformation programme (6 months, €690) available, which offer savings.
Does ZZZS (health insurance) cover weight loss medications?
Currently, ZZZS does not cover weight loss medications. These medications are self-pay and prescribed on a private prescription. The monthly cost depends on the type of medication and dose.
What are the side effects of modern obesity medications?
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal: nausea, diarrhoea, constipation and occasional vomiting. These decrease in most patients within the first few weeks. Rare but more serious side effects include pancreatitis. The doctor checks for possible side effects and adjusts the dose at every follow-up appointment.
How quickly will I lose weight?
Results are individual. Clinical studies show that patients with modern obesity medications lose on average 15–20% of body weight in 68–72 weeks. Most patients notice the first results (2–5 kg) in the first 4–8 weeks. Gradual dose titration ensures safe and lasting weight loss.
Are the medications different from each other?
Yes. Some medications work through a dual mechanism (acting on two hormonal systems), while others act on a single system. Which medication is right for you depends on your health condition, budget and body response. The doctor will advise on the most suitable option at your first appointment.
What happens when I stop taking the medication?
Studies show that patients often regain some of the lost weight after stopping medication. This is why treatment also involves changes to dietary habits and physical activity – changes that last beyond the end of treatment. Our clinic prepares you for a gradual dose reduction.
Who is a suitable candidate for treatment?
Treatment is intended for adults with BMI ≥ 30, or with BMI ≥ 27 if they have at least one comorbidity (type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol or blood fats, sleep-disordered breathing, fatty liver disease). The final decision is always made by the doctor at the first consultation.
