Now clients can access high-quality weight loss surgery options to help them address their health challenges as they make the necessary lifestyle changes to maintain their weight loss over time.
Sleeve gastrectomy, also known as vertical sleeve gastrectomy, is when about 80% of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach structure will look like and be the size of a small banana. The procedure is performed laparoscopically, which means that small instruments are inserted through small incisions in the upper abdomen.
Clients may have various reasons for wanting to undergo a sleeve gastrectomy surgery procedure. These include general health as well as significant issues such as infertility, heart disease, obstructive sleep apnoea, and type 2 diabetes, as well as high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Required conditions to qualify for surgery after improving diet and exercise habits include having obesity with a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 40, or between 30 to 39 in association with a weight related health issue.
Post-surgery patients are expected to commit to making permanent health changes and participate in a comprehensive follow-up program that includes a dietitian and clinical psychologist.
About Dr. Benjamin Wheeler
Dr. Wheeler completed his surgical training in New Zealand and did his specialist training at the Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital. He performs both the sleeve gastrectomy, and the one anastomosis (“mini”) and Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses.
Dr Wheeler said, “The actual kilogram amount of weight loss will vary depending on what weight you started at. Generally, at 1 year out from the surgery, you will have lost 70-80% of the weight above your medically ‘ideal’ weight, which is when your BMI is 25.”
