Information For Bariatric Surgical Procedures

If you’ve been struggling with your weight for some time, you’re not alone. More than 14 million Australians are obese or overweight, and obesity is now a global health concern.

While a healthy body requires a small amount of fat for normal functioning, being overweight or obese means you have considerably more fat than your body actually needs.

Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a safe, effective and powerful option for attaining long-term weight loss if you have developed a significant weight problem. It is the only treatment that has been shown to result in major and durable weight loss, because conservative attempts to lose weight, such as diets, fail in most people.

Weight loss surgery can help you to achieve a much better standard of health and living in the long term – and it can also reduce your risk of many obesity-related diseases.

The extent of weight loss achieved depends not only on the surgical procedure, but also in the long term the success is maintained by changing eating habits and by regular physical activities. Your active participation in this process will provide you with good long term weight loss and a better quality of life.

The following information has been put together to help you learn more about weight loss surgery and the various surgical procedures offered by Dr Puhalla and his team of health professionals.
