- Patients undergoing planned time sensitive surgery (including bariatric surgery) for life-limiting conditions, where high BMI is the primary barrier to surgery and weigh loss would be beneficial.

- Patients with severe obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA), obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) and/or severe asthma.
