Weight Loss Surgery Sydney Procedures
Weight loss surgery helps decrease body fat by changing the anatomy of your gastrointestinal track (your digestive system and stomach), reducing the amount of food the body can hold or absorb. This can be achieved in a number of ways, with both reversible and permanent options available.
You may be suitable for weight loss surgery if your BMI score is greater than 35 or your BMI score is over 30 and have other medical problems such as type 2 diabetes, or high blood pressure. Our team will work with you to determine which option is right for you.
