Perth Weight Loss options

Are you a candidate for Weight Loss Surgery?

You could be a candidate for weight loss surgery or procedures if you meet one or more of the following criteria:

• You have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of or over 30.
• Your serious attempts to lose weight have had only short-term success.
• You are experiencing severe negative health effects, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, related to being severely overweight.
• You are unable to achieve a healthy body weight for a sustained period of time even through medically-supervised dieting.

Obesity is not just being overweight. It can affect your organs and overall health, as well as be a contributing factor for diabetes, back and joint pain, sleep apnoea, and other conditions. Weight loss surgery help you lose up to 70% of excess body weight, giving your health and energy back.

Weight loss surgery helps in several ways. It restricts the amount of food you can eat and alters how your body absorbs food. Dr Stephen Watson and his team of Bariatric Physicians perform several weight loss surgeries, including gastric banding, gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and intragastric balloon.

Since each person’s goals, lifestyle, and body are unique, our goal for your consultation with Dr Watson and his team is to determine the best weight loss surgery and plan for you.
