Why Choose a Weight Loss Surgeon on the Gold Coast?

Losing weight can be a life-changing journey, and for many, bariatric surgery is the most effective long-term solution.
The Gold Coast is home to some of the most top-rated weight loss surgeons who specialise in procedures like: gastric balloons, gastric sleeves and the gastric bypass.
The Gold Coast Private Hospital in Queensland is conveniently located, with options for people travelling for surgery, with full support from our weight loss team.

Commonly performed procedures

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is a type of weight loss surgery where about 80% of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow, tube-shaped stomach. This new stomach still connects normally from the food pipe (oesophagus) to the small bowel, without changing the natural path of digestion like in a bypass surgery.
Gastric Bypass

In a single anastomosis gastric bypass, the top part of the stomach is separated to create a small pouch. This greatly reduces how much food the stomach can hold. Then, the first part of the small intestine is bypassed, so food takes a shorter path through the digestive system.
Revision Weight Loss Surgery

Revision surgery is done when a previous weight loss procedure needs to be changed or adjusted.
This might happen if you're not losing enough weight, have regained weight over time, or are experiencing issues like reflux.
The revision can involve converting your original surgery to a different type or making changes to improve the results. It may be done in one or two stages, depending on your situation.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

This procedure creates a small stomach pouch, about the size of an egg, limiting how much you can eat.
A section of the small intestine is connected to the pouch, so food bypasses most of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. Digestive juices join the food about 1.5 metres further down to aid digestion.
This surgery helps reduce food intake and calorie absorption, supporting long-term weight loss.
Loop Duodenal Switch (SADI-S or SIPS)

This surgery combines two powerful weight loss methods.
First, the size of the stomach is reduced by performing a sleeve gastrectomy, which means you’ll feel full with smaller portions.
Then, a part of the small intestine is bypassed, so your body absorbs fewer calories and nutrients from the food you eat.
This combination helps you lose weight by eating less and absorbing less, while still allowing for good digestion with fewer long-term risks than older versions of the duodenal switch.
Hernia Surgery

The only way to fix a hernia is with surgery.
Depending on the type and size of the hernia, the operation can be done in two ways:
Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, using small cuts and a camera, or
Open surgery, with a larger cut directly over the hernia.
Both types of surgery are done while you’re asleep under general anaesthetic, and your doctor will choose the best method for you.
