Now patients can collaborate with a bariatric surgery expert to help improve their overall physical well-being and work towards lifestyle goals that otherwise might not have been possible without an operation.

Gastric bypass surgery, either a Roux-en-Y or mini-bypass, assists in significant and sustainable weight loss, which results in the improvement or elimination of more than 90% of obesity-related illnesses. Conditions that can be cured include hypertension, diabetes and obstructive sleep apnoea.

The operation involves creating a smaller stomach area by dividing the main stomach area into two sections. The smaller section limits food intake and also results in feeling fuller for longer. The larger section is still part of the stomach and does not receive food but still helps to create necessary gastric juices.

Applicant patients have to undergo a thorough screening process and meet specific medical guidelines to be considered for weight-loss surgery. It is important that they commit to making permanent healthy changes to their lifestyle and eating habits.

Preparation for surgery includes stopping all forms of smoking and nicotine intake with added strict eating, drinking and medication restrictions just before surgery.

Depending on their rate of recovery, the patient can expect to stay in the hospital for 1 to 2 days after the surgery. It is advised to arrange for help at home beforehand if they think it might be needed. Nutritional supplementation is also required due to the bowel changes that result in lower nutritional absorption.

About Dr. Benjamin Wheeler

He specialised at the Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital with Dr. George Hopkins and is also a member of the Australian & New Zealand Metabolic & Obesity Surgery Society.
