Metabolic bariatric surgery

Metabolic bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment currently available for achieving substantial and sustained weight loss for people living with obesity and can provide significant improvements in metabolic health, obesity-related health conditions, physical function and quality of life.

Surgery is not simply a procedure that makes the stomach smaller or restricts food intake.

Metabolic bariatric procedures also influence the biological processes involved in appetite regulation, hunger, satiety, gut hormones and glucose metabolism. Different procedures have different benefits, risks and long-term nutritional implications.

There is no single operation that is right for everyone. The decision to consider surgery should involve comprehensive medical assessment, discussion of available treatment options, individualised procedure selection and planning for lifelong follow-up care.

At Re:You Health, our GPs have extensive experience in bariatric medicine and work collaboratively with experienced metabolic bariatric surgeons and multidisciplinary healthcare professionals.

We can support you before surgery, help you understand your treatment options,  prepare you for your procedure, and provide structured medical and lifestyle care following surgery.
