Our Practice

Also known as weight loss or metabolic surgery, bariatric surgery is a proven treatment approach for the management of excess weight, obesity and diabetes. The goal is for patients to lose most of their excess weight, treat associated illnesses such as diabetes or high blood pressure and experience a healthier and improved lifestyle.

Bariatric surgery includes a variety of surgical procedures, generally performed laparoscopically (key hole), which work in different ways to enhance weight loss.

Deciding which procedure is right for you can be challenging and your surgeon will explain the options and offer a recommendation that is tailored to your needs.

Northern Bariatrics aims to see all new patients within 2-3 weeks of inquiry. Telehealth, or zoom, consultations are also available. For those that proceed with surgery, an operating date can usually be arranged promptly and at a convenient time for you even during periods of particularly high demand.

Our services are provided across Sydney and surrounding region with a clinic located in Frenchs Forrest.

For those people wishing to undergo surgery, we currently operate out of Northern Beaches Hospital or the Sydney Adventist Hospital and provide a comprehensive followup.
