We're glad you're here.
If you are considering a weight-loss procedure or booking a consultation with Dr Asante, this page will help you understand what to expect, what the options are, and how the booking process works.
What to expect at your consultation
During your consultation, Dr Asante will take the time to understand your health history, previous weight-loss attempts, and what you are hoping to achieve. Based on this, we will guide you on the safest and most effective options available to you.
By the end of the consultation, you can expect to have:
-
A clear understanding of which procedures you may qualify for
-
Professional guidance on the best option for your health and goals
-
A step-by-step outline of what the process would look like
-
Advice on medical aid, approvals, and possible funding options where applicable
-
Direction on the next steps if you decide to move forward
For many patients, this appointment is the moment where things finally start to feel possible. Instead of guessing or trying on your own, you leave with a plan and a team to guide you.
Understanding your treatment options
There are different procedures available depending on your health, BMI, and weight-loss goals. Some are non-surgical, such as the balloon or ESG, while others are surgical procedures like the gastric sleeve or bypass. This is a general comparison to help you understand the differences.
The best way to know which option is right for you is during a consultation, where Dr Asante can assess your individual situation.
Consultation Fee & Booking
The consultation fee with Dr Asante is R3000. To secure your appointment, a deposit of R750 is required at the time of booking. The remaining balance is payable on the day of your consultation.
Due to the high number of enquiries and limited availability, consultation bookings are only confirmed once the deposit has been received. If payment is not received within 24 hours of booking, the appointment slot may be released and offered to another patient.
If you are not ready to book yet or would like to ask a question first, you are welcome to contact our team.
