    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the best weight loss surgery for me?
    The right procedure depends on your health, goals, and lifestyle. At 360 SURGERY, we offer a range of surgical and non-surgical options, including gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, and medical weight loss programs. During your consultation, Dr. Beitner will discuss each option in detail to create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.
    Will I need to follow a special diet after surgery?
    Yes. A structured nutrition plan is essential for healing and achieving long-term weight loss success. Our accredited dietitians at 360 SURGERY will guide you through each stage, from liquids and soft foods to balanced, nutrient-rich meals, helping you build healthy habits that last a lifetime.
    What is bariatric surgery?
    Bariatric surgery refers to a range of procedures designed to support significant, long-term weight loss by changing how your digestive system works. These surgeries not only help reduce food intake but also improve metabolic health.
    Am I eligible for bariatric surgery?
    Eligibility depends on your body mass index (BMI), medical history, and overall health. Generally, candidates have a BMI over 35 with obesity-related health issues, or over 40 regardless of associated conditions. Your surgeon will assess your unique situation and recommend the most suitable procedure.
    What support will I receive after surgery?
    Bariatric surgery is a lifelong journey, not just a one-time procedure. At 360 Surgery, patients receive comprehensive follow-up care, including regular check-ins with surgeons, dietitians, psychologists, and obesity medicine specialists. This ongoing support ensures safe recovery, healthy habits, and sustained results.
    What makes 360 SURGERY different from other weight loss clinics?
    At 360 SURGERY, your care is truly comprehensive. Led by Dr. Melissa Beitner, our multidisciplinary team, including surgeons, dieticians, psychologists, and physicians, works together under one roof. We focus on personalised, evidence-based care that supports you before, during, and long after surgery.
    Who will be involved in my care at 360 SURGERY?
    Your journey is guided by Dr. Beitner and supported by a dedicated team of medical and allied health professionals. This includes obesity medicine specialists, dieticians, and psychologists, ensuring every aspect of your health, wellbeing, and recovery is cared for.
    Does 360 SURGERY offer non-surgical weight loss options?
    Yes. In addition to bariatric surgery, 360 SURGERY provides a range of non-surgical options such as medical weight management, nutrition programs, and lifestyle support. Our goal is to create a tailored treatment plan that fits your unique needs and long-term goals.

    Results

    over 2,000 successful surgeries

    Large studies have shown a short-term all-cause mortality rate of 0.18% after surgery. The long-term mortality rate is lower in patients who undergo bariatric surgery than obese individuals who do not.

    Long-term results demonstrate maintenance of significant weight loss at ten or more years after surgery.

    Nearly all obesity-related conditions have demonstrated improvement and, in some cases, remission after weight loss associated with obesity surgery.

    There's also a significant reduction in cancer and cancer mortality after obesity surgery.

    These operations are extremely safe, with lower complication rates than common operations, such as gallbladder removal, hysterectomy, and hip replacement.
