Weight Loss Surgery

Weight-loss surgeries (also known collectively as Bariatric surgery) involve making changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight and reduce your risk of weight-related health problems, including:

  • Type 2 diabetes

  • Heart disease

  • High blood pressure

  • Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)

  • Sleep apnoea

Mr John Robinson is a skilled and experienced fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon who has provided numerous patients with outstanding care and results.

Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)

Weight Loss Injections

Mounjaro® is one of the newest weight loss prescriptions that can help people shed weight and regain their health.

Mr. Robinson offers a Mounjaro® weight loss support program. This treatment uses customized Mounjaro® and general lifestyle changes to achieve a healthier weight. Mounjaro® makes patients feel fuller faster and for more extended periods of time, and also reduces the production of stomach acids, which forces the stomach to process food at a delayed rate.

Gastric Sleeve

A Sleeve Gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure where four fifths of the stomach is removed, and the remaining narrow tube restricts the volume of food you can eat at any one time. It also reduces the drive to eat and hunger by loss of the hormone produced near the top of the stomach. It is a keyhole procedure done under general anaesthetic and takes about 60 minutes, and an average minimum of one night stay in hospital. Expected excess weight-loss from a sleeve gastrectomy is approximately 60%.

The sleeve gastrectomy procedure is ideal for patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea, joint and back pain, and other conditions. It is important that you commit to living a healthy and active lifestyle following the procedure.

Gastric Balloon 

This is a short, non-surgical method which consists of swallowing a balloon capsule and then filled with fluid. The balloon works as part of a weight-loss program and will only achieve your chosen goal if used in conjunction with good food choices, portion control and increasing exercise.

Gastric Bypass 

Gastric Bypass, also called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a keyhole procedure done under General Anaesthetic. It takes up to two hours and involves on average a minimum of one night in hospital. The gastric bypass works by creating a small pouch the size of an egg cup, and connecting this directly to the small intestine, thereby bypassing the stomach. This facilitates weight-loss. The expected excess weight-loss from a bypass is approximately 65%.

You will not be able to eat solid food for a time to allow your stomach to heal. A special diet will need to be followed to help transition from liquid to solid foods. It might take a few weeks to completely recover from any discomfort associated with the surgery.
