Bariatric surgery is a major procedure that uses advanced techniques to facilitate weight loss to treat health problems such as diabetes or another obesity related illness. Obesity surgery limits your food intake which ultimately lowers your body mass index to a more confident and healthy weight.
There are many benefits to bariatric surgery, with only a short recovery time of 3 – 5 weeks, it can significantly improve self esteem, mental health, quality of life, as well as reducing the risk of severe medical conditions such as heart disease leading to premature death.
However before proceeding with bariatric surgery, we strongly suggest you seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
We want you to achieve your weight loss goals, that is why we set you up with realistic expectations on your diet, exercise and other healthy lifestyle changes that should be made both before and after the procedure. Adhering to these changes adjustments will reduce the risks of any obstacles in achieving optimal results. More information on the diet, exercise and overall recommendations can be found here.
If you have private health insurance, your insurance will cover a large portion of the fees, but there will still be an out of pocket fee. More information on what the costs might look like can be found here.
