Obesity is a true epidemic in Australia with around 60% of Australians suffering from obesity. Obesity often causes other adverse health effects such as Diabetes Type 2, Hypertension and Sleep Apnea. But one of the main reasons to consider bariatric surgery (a sleeve gastrectomy or a gastric bypass surgery) is the impact obesity has on people’s self esteem. Many patients who are considering a type of gastric surgery are finding their overall health and their obesity problems are having a serious impact on their confidence, relationships, work, and overall quality of life.

It is important to flag that you need a current GP referral to be a candidate for obesity surgery. Before you speak to our weight loss doctors, it is also recommended to speak to your health insurance provider and to obtain up-to-date information on applicable rebates.

In your initial consultation at Advance Surgical Perth, we will assess your situation, discuss your goals and your options in regards to the different surgery types: gastric sleeve surgery (or sleeve gastrectomy) or a gastric bypass surgery.

For some patients, an additional procedure is required to remove a pre-existing gastric band. For more information on weight loss surgery in Perth, enquire or make an appointment at Advance Surgical: (08) 9386 2634.
