Carrying excess weight isn’t just a cosmetic concern— it can significantly impact your overall health. Obesity is linked
to various medical issues, including diabetes, high blood pressure, joint pain, and even certain cancers. It can also affect
mental well-being and reduce life expectancy.
While many attempt to lose weight through dieting, exercise, or medication, research indicates that individuals with severe
obesity have less than a 1% chance of achieving and maintaining a healthy weight through these methods alone. In contrast,
weight loss surgery has proven to be the most effective long-term solution for substantial and sustained weight loss.
Bariatric surgery not only aids in weight reduction but also offers significant health benefits. It can lead to the remission or
improvement of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnoea, and arthritis. Moreover, studies suggest that
weight loss surgery may lower the risk of developing at least 13 different types of cancer.
Modern weight loss procedures are minimally invasive. All are performed using keyhole surgery, often as day-stay only
procedures. Patients often return to work within a few days, making the recovery process relatively quick and manageable.
At The Surgery Gold Coast Weight Loss Surgery Clinic, we have over a decade of experience in performing these procedures
safely and effectively. Our dedicated team is committed to supporting you on your journey to better health.
