Surgical and non-surgical pathways — all under one roof.

Six distinct procedures, one philosophy: match the treatment to the patient, not the other way around. Every option below is offered with the same multidisciplinary support, the same long-term follow-up, and the same direct access to your surgeon.

gastric sleeve

01

✦  Most performed in Australia

Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy

A laparoscopic procedure that removes roughly 75–90% of the stomach, leaving a narrow tubular “sleeve.” Reduces stomach capacity and — more importantly — dramatically lowers the production of ghrelin, the body’s primary hunger hormone.

Expected Total Body Weight Loss

60–70%

Hospital stay

1–3 nights

Return to work

2–4 weeks

All-inclusive from

$20,000
gastric bypass

02

✦  Best for type 2 diabetes

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine in a “Y” configuration. Combines restriction with a degree of malabsorption — and triggers powerful metabolic changes that often resolve type 2 diabetes long before significant weight loss occurs.

Expected Total Body Weight Loss

25–35%

Hospital stay

2–3 nights

T2 diabetes remission

Up to 80%

All-inclusive from

$25,000
mini bypass

03

✦  Shorter operation

One-Anastomosis (Mini) Gastric Bypass

A simplified bypass with a single connection between the stomach pouch and small bowel. Shorter operating time, fewer potential complications and similar long-term outcomes to a traditional Roux-en-Y bypass.

Expected Total Body Weight Loss

60–80%

Hospital stay

2–3 nights

Operating time

~60 minutes

All-inclusive from

$25,000
intragastric balloon

04

✦  Non-surgical · Reversible

Intragastric Balloon

A soft silicone balloon (Orbera or Spatz3) placed inside the stomach via gastroscopy, reducing capacity and slowing emptying. Remains in place for 6–12 months, then removed. No incisions. Same-day procedure.

Procedure type

Day procedure

Duration in place

Expected Total Body Weight Loss

Medical Weight Management

05

✦  Bridging pathway

Medical Weight Management

Specialist-monitored prescription medication (typically GLP-1 receptor agonists) supported by dietitian-led nutritional planning. Used as a standalone pathway for patients not ready for surgery, or as a bridge from medication to a permanent surgical solution.

Format

Specialist + dietitian

06

✦  Second-chance surgery

Revisional Bariatric Surgery

For patients who have had previous bariatric surgery (gastric band, sleeve, bypass) and have experienced significant weight regain, complications, or unresolved reflux. Includes band removal with same-day conversion to sleeve or bypass, and sleeve-to-bypass conversions.

✦  Technology

The instruments matter. So do the hands that hold them.

OptiWeight operates with the latest powered surgical staplers — devices that sense the thickness of stomach or bowel tissue and modulate firing speed and force accordingly. The result is an evenly compressed staple line every time, fewer staple-line bleeds, and lower leak rates.

Tristaple technology adds a third graduated staple row for added integrity at the critical proximal sleeve angle. Together they help shorten operating time, reduce blood loss, and contribute to the low-complication profile our patients deserve.
