Generally, bariatric surgery is considered for adults with a BMI of 35 or above, or 30+ with weight-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes. A consultation is required for a personalised assessment.
Costs depend on your procedure, hospital and health insurance. Patients with appropriate private health cover typically face an out-of-pocket fee. We provide a transparent quote at consultation.
Private health insurance with bariatric cover significantly reduces out-of-pocket costs. Self-funded options are also available — please contact our rooms for details.
Most patients stay 1–2 nights in hospital, return to light activity within 1–2 weeks, and resume full activity at around 4–6 weeks.
You will have structured reviews at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months, then annually — supported by our dietitians and psychologists.
