The Comprehensive Approach to Managing Obesity

Being overweight or obese is not just a challenge that affects physical appearance – it’s a complex health condition that impacts every facet of life.

From diminished self-esteem and mental health struggles to serious medical conditions and reduced life expectancy, the consequences of obesity are profound and far-reaching. It can also affect the next generation, impacting the health of children born to overweight mothers.

For many, traditional weight loss methods like diet and exercise, or even weight loss medications, offer limited relief. Research suggests that the likelihood of an obese person achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through these measures alone is extremely low and is less than one percent.

That’s why at Surgery Gold Coast, we take a comprehensive approach to weight management, recognising that successful long-term weight loss requires more than surgery – it requires a dedicated team and ongoing support.

Our multidisciplinary team includes a highly experienced weight loss surgeon, a specialised weight loss GP, dietitians, psychologists, and client liaison and support staff, all working together to ensure each patient receives holistic care.

From the first consultation to post-operative support, we offer guidance and resources that help patients navigate their weight loss journey with confidence and compassion.

Studies consistently show that surgery has provided long-term weight loss for many patients, with outcomes that can surpass those of medical or non-surgical therapies in appropriate candidates.

Beyond weight loss, surgery has been shown to significantly improve or even eliminate many obesity-related health conditions, such as:

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Arthritis
  • Migraines

Additionally, weight loss surgery may reduce the risk of at least 13 types of cancer, offering a potential opportunity for improved health and wellbeing.

We use minimally invasive keyhole techniques, allowing many patients to leave the hospital after an overnight stay. In some cases, even day surgery may be an option. Our procedures are supported by nearly two decades of experience, and our dedicated team is committed to patient safety, comfort, and long-term success.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to weight loss, which is why we offer a variety of surgical options tailored to everyone’s needs. Our team ensures a supportive, respectful, and caring environment where every patient’s health goals can be met with the highest level of care.

Individual results vary based on factors such as overall health and adherence to post-surgical care plans. We encourage anyone considering weight loss surgery to consult with a qualified healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for their health needs.

If you’re considering weight loss surgery, our team is here to provide you with the information and support you need. Contact us at The Surgery Gold Coast to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward a healthier, happier life.
