Once obesity is established, substantial and sustainable weight loss is rarely achievable with dieting, even in closely monitored medical studies. Current best practice is surgical intervention, together with long term lifestyle modification.
The aim of bariatric surgery (also known as weight loss surgery or metabolic surgery) and accompanying lifestyle modification is to reduce BMI down to a stable, sustainable level, which provides dramatically improved health outcomes.

I was recommended to Dr Garth McLeod and Dr Ben Mackay. Both doctors have provided me the most professional and personal care anyone could wish for, along with their team.
I have now lost approximately 50kgs from my heaviest weight and I am now off all medication. I am full of energy and I have my life back, and I could not be happier.
I have lost about 55kg since my surgery and my health has improved dramatically. I no longer have sleep apnoea, I’m not pre-diabetic anymore, and my cholesterol is in a healthy range.
I am forever grateful to Doctors McLeod and Mackay, and the rest of the team for helping me along my journey.
Weight loss Surgery is a tool and I can say that Garth McLeod and Benedict Mackay saved my life.
They gave me this gift of Gastric Bypass and the gift of their support. This however has given me the strength mentally and physically to overcome emotional eating.
