Trusted Obesity Clinic in Melbourne for Bariatric Surgery

Background (13)

At our leading weight loss clinic in Melbourne, we specialise in providing advanced bariatric surgery for individuals struggling with long-term weight issues. Diet and exercise often fail to deliver results, and weight loss medications are a challenge; bariatric procedures provide a safe solution for sustainable weight loss and better health. These minimally invasive procedures can reduce stomach size or limit absorption, leading to significant and sustained weight loss, up to 60–70% of excess weight, and can support long-term health benefits.

With the guidance of Dr. Niruben, a trusted weight loss specialist in Melbourne, you may consider bariatric stomach surgery if you have a high BMI or obesity-linked conditions like type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea. Bariatric procedures can improve mobility, boost energy, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. In addition to bariatric procedures, we also offer general surgery services, including gallbladder removal and hernia repair, performed with the same commitment to safety, precision, and long-term patient care.

From consultation to recovery, we’re committed to helping you improve your health and confidence through safe, personalised care.

Niruben was clear and professional from the first appointment, before and post surgery, and in his follow-up 6 weeks later. He answered all my questions and explained the procedure well. I felt confident that he was looking after me.

Frequently Asked Questions About Weight Loss Surgery in Melbourne

    • What foods should I avoid immediately after gallbladder surgery?

      After gallbladder surgery, avoid high-fat, greasy, fried, and heavily processed foods, as they can be harder to digest during early recovery. Choosing lighter meals helps reduce discomfort while your body adjusts. For more recovery guidance, read our blog gallbladder surgery guide by Dr Niruben Rajasagaram.

    • Yes, after gastric sleeve surgery in Melbourne, losing excess weight reduces strain on your joints, helping you move more comfortably and making everyday activities easier. Many patients notice a gradual improvement in flexibility and overall physical ease.

    • Monica Devanand is a Habits and Transformation Coach who helps patients achieve sustainable weight loss and wellness goals. Her approach goes beyond diet and exercise, supporting a holistic lifestyle that includes healthy habits, movement, and a positive relationship with food.

    • Laparoscopic GERD surgery uses small incisions and specialised instruments to repair or strengthen the lower oesophageal sphincter, reducing acid reflux. This minimally invasive approach limits tissue trauma, speeds recovery, and leaves smaller scars. Suitability depends on the severity of reflux, overall health, and lifestyle factors, and the decision is made after a thorough medical evaluation.

    • After bariatric surgery in Melbourne, patients may develop deficiencies in important nutrients, including iron, protein, vitamin B12, folate, vitamin D, and zinc. These nutrients are essential for energy, bone health, and overall recovery. Following your surgeon’s supplement plan and regular blood tests helps prevent complications and supports long-term well-being.
