Frequently Asked Questions

What is weight loss surgery?
As the name suggests, weight loss surgery is an operation designed to help in weight loss. It's also known as 'bariatric surgery'. We offer three types of weight loss surgery, each with its own advantages and disadvantages: Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass (SADI), Sleeve Gastrectomy - Gastric Sleeve, and Gastric Bypass.
What are the benefits of weight loss surgery?
Research shows that weight loss surgery makes a significant and long-lasting difference to people struggling with obesity. The Swedish Obese Subjects (SOS) trial followed 2,000 obese people who had bariatric surgery and compared their health over the next 10-20 years with a similar group of obese people who did not have surgery. The surgery group proved much more successful in managing their weight, had lower rates of diabetes, heart attack, stroke and cancer and also lived longer than their...
What are the risks of weight loss surgery? And what are the risks of NOT having surgery?
Any surgery carries risks, for example, picking up an infection or having a reaction to the anesthetic. The particular risks associated with weight loss surgery depend on the procedure but could include gallstones, difficulty absorbing vitamins and minerals (we recommend you take supplements), vomiting, acid reflux, dumping syndrome or the need for a second, revision procedure at a later date. Generally, weight loss surgery is worth doing because the benefits outweigh the risks. Without...
Who is eligible for weight loss surgery?
You qualify for weight loss surgery if: Your BMI is over 35, or your BMI is 30-35 and you have another medical condition such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes. The BMI values are lower for individuals of Asian or Aboriginal descent. If your BMI is 28-30 and you're struggling to manage your weight, then please talk to us. Generally, your weight is likely to keep increasing and there's not much point waiting until things get worse before we start helping you get better! We can...
How much weight could you lose after bariatric surgery?
The amount of weight you lose depends on several factors, such as your current weight, the type of surgery you chose and the lifestyle changes you make before and after surgery. Weight loss surgery operations are tools to help you lose weight by restricting the amount of food you eat. Depending on the procedure, patients surveyed 5-10 years after their operation tended to have lost 47-63% of their excess weight. Your excess weight refers to the weight above a healthy range for you. So, if you...
If you've had weight loss surgery, do you still need to make lifestyle changes?
Yes. You'll lose most weight if you eat smaller portions of healthy food that's high in nutrients but low in calories and if you are physically active. If you continue with unhealthy eating habits like regularly snacking, binge eating or filling up on high-calorie, low-nutrient processed foods, you'll consume too many calories and won't lose weight (or won't lose as much as you'd like).

Results

Depending on the procedure, patients surveyed 5-10 years after their operation tended to have lost 47-63% of their excess weight.
