Frequently Asked Questions

Will I need plastic surgery for the surplus skin when I have lost a lot of weight?
That is not always the case. As a rule, plastic surgery will not be considered for at least a year or two after the operation. Sometimes the skin will mold itself around the new body tissue and in the majority of people this is the case. You should give the skin the time it needs to adjust before you decide to have more surgery. Once you have lost the weight and you wish to consider plastic surgery, we could help you. We will be able to make some suggestions and recommendations about...
Will I need to follow a special diet after gastric sleeve surgery?
Yes, after gastric sleeve surgery, you will need to follow a structured diet plan, starting with liquids and gradually progressing to solid foods. Our dietitian will work with you to develop a personalized eating plan that supports your weight loss and nutritional needs.
What about pregnancy?
Becoming pregnant can be easier as you lose weight and your menstrual cycle becomes more regular. It is strongly advised you speak to your surgeon if you are thinking about getting pregnant. Nutritional support is vital in this period.
How much will surgery cost?
Treatment for a bariatric procedure can be expensive and complex to understand. Over the last 15 years at CWLS we have made it as simple as possible for you. We understand that every patient is in a unique position and you will be given an estimated quote of the fees and charges before your visit. CWLS charges a 'Service Fee' that allows us to cover all the additional costs related to; Surgeons, Surgical assistants, Pre-operative medical specialists, Administration & hospital bookings,...
Can I pay for surgery with my superannuation?
Under special circumstances (if your BMI is greater than 40 or BMI of greater than 35 with co-morbidities), our patients can apply to access their superannuation to fund either a portion of or the complete total of their costs. We can certainly assist you with the paperwork required to start the process during your initial consultation with our Surgeons. Certain criteria needs to be met in order for you to be considered and approved. We advise you to be financially responsible to determine if...
How much weight can I expect to lose after gastric sleeve surgery in Melbourne?
Weight loss results vary, but most patients lose 60-70% of their excess weight within the first 12-18 months post-surgery. Long-term success depends on adherence to dietary and lifestyle changes.
When can I resume regular exercise?
You will be encouraged to get up and moving quite soon after your procedure. In the hospital, it is important to mobilise to avoid blood clots, and it also aids recovery. All patients are encouraged to start a walking programme once they are discharged from hospital. As everyone recovers differently, post-operative improvement will vary from person to person. Please consult your surgeon for clearance to begin or resume strenuous activity at work or exercise. In the long term, you must...
How long will I need to take off work?
We recommend you take 2-3 weeks off work to allow enough time for your body to recover and heal. If your job requires physical exertion it may be worth speaking to the surgeon about an appropriate time frame for recovery.
