Why should I choose an expert in Bariatric Surgery?
Your goal must be having the best outcome possible for your health and wellbeing and at the lowest possible risk. Many decades ago weight loss surgery was performed by general surgeons who had to be proficient but not necessarily expert in any one area. In modern medicine in metropolitan areas of Western Countries like Australia sub-specialisation has occurred and so some surgeons focus their skill in weight loss surgery and surgery on the stomach. These surgeons have the experience of refining their surgery techniques, being aware of signs of any issues and have plans and processes in place to support and monitor you. These are all done to make your outcome as safe and as effective as possible.
