How to Choose a
Weight Loss Surgeon

The Best Bariatric Surgeon Sydney

Finding the best Weight Loss Surgeon can be a challenge.

We believe when looking for the best surgeon you should consider:

Surgeons focus and experience,
The surgeons qualifications,
The surgeons full team,
Locations and Admitting Hospitals,
GP Referrals,
What others say - word of mouth or Google reviews,
Post Op Successes (and post op complications),
Price and Financial Options, and
Care Plan.

Your Choice

Equally important decisions relate to choosing the best procedures such as surgery, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bands or even considering non surgical approaches. Bariatric surgery is still a serious surgical procedures with inherent associated risks.

To minimise the risk of experiencing a surgical complication, it is critical for individuals to choose a highly qualified and trusted bariatric surgeon to perform their weight loss surgery.

The advent of the less-invasive laparoscopic approach to surgery has made bariatric surgery safer overall.

Past Patients

Although bariatric surgery can be an effective tool in helping individuals suffering from obesity change their life for the better, the chosen weight loss procedure must meet a patient’s various anatomical and metabolic requirements for it to be successful.

It is important that a patient choose an experienced surgeon who is able to determine which weight loss procedure is appropriate for his or her unique metabolic needs, who has a high patient satisfaction rate and who will maximise the patient’s chances of achieving weight loss success.
