Weight Loss Surgery

You may feel your Obesity is out of control, as you are experiencing a cluster of health issues that leave you at high risk for developing conditions such as Heart Disease, Diabetes and Stroke.

You may feel that traditional methods of weight loss just don’t work for you, or perhaps you believe that you have failed to lose weight so many times that Weight Loss Surgery is now your only option.

The decision to undergo Weight Loss Surgery is a big decision that will have major repercussions on the way you live your life. We can help you explore all surgical options that are available to you, look at their pros and cons and help you compare them against other non-surgical treatments available for your Obesity.

You may also be post-surgery and experiencing problems with what you are eating which leads to vomiting or being nutritionally deficient. You may also notice that the reasons you were compelled to eat in a certain way before your surgery are still with you, which is causing you to overeat and feel depressed and angry.

Our Eating Therapists and Dieticians, trained in dealing with the issues arising from Weight Loss Surgery, can support you in taking the next steps towards reaching a healthy weight.

PSYCHOLOGY: We can help you explore your readiness for Weight Loss Surgery, and the impact the surgery will have on the way you eat, your health, your lifestyle and the way you feel. We can help you understand if there are cognitive, emotional and behavioural issues that need to be looked at prior to the surgery, or which, if transformed, would result in non-surgical solutions for your Obesity.

PLANNING: We will help you plan for the immediate lifestyle changes around eating patterns and behaviours that are mandatory following Weight Loss Surgery. We can support you with the changes to your daily routine that will feel different and new.

SPECIALISED DIETARY GUIDANCE: Your primary care team will guide you on the specific diet that is necessary for your specific Weight Loss Surgery. For various reasons, at any time after your surgery, you may require additional support and guidance on the dietary choices that are optimal for your health and continued weight loss. Due to the restrictive nature of your diet following surgery nutritional deficiencies may occur and we can guide you on ways to optimise your diet through alternative food choices, or where necessary, supplementation.

ACTIVITY: You may have experienced Insulin Resistance prior to surgery, so ongoing adaptation to activity in your life will help to reverse the poor blood glucose metabolism you once had, and in turn keep your weight loss permanent. Exercise will promote positive brain chemicals that will help you adapt to your new life and body.
