Weight Loss Centre Melbourne

Long-term weight loss is rarely achieved by surgery alone. At LapSurgery Australia our weight loss centre brings together specialist surgeons, a specialist physician, dietitians, an exercise professional, a clinical psychologist and bariatric nurses, working as a single team around each patient.

This integrated, evidence-based approach addresses the medical, nutritional, behavioural and physical factors that influence weight, helping each patient achieve sustainable results.

• Specialist Surgeons - experienced bariatric and general surgeons led by Assoc. Prof. Chrys Hensman.
• Specialist Physician - manages comorbidities such as diabetes, sleep apnoea and hypertension before and after surgery.
• Bariatric Dietitians - guide pre-operative preparation and lifelong nutritional support.
• Clinical Psychologist - supports the emotional and behavioural side of weight loss.
• Exercise Professional - tailors a safe, sustainable activity plan to your recovery and goals.
• Bariatric Nurses - your point of contact through every step of your journey.

Our surgery package includes a comprehensive 12-month aftercare program:

• Post-operative appointment with our in-house nurse (7-10 days post op)
• Dietitian review (1-2 weeks post op)
• Surgeon review (5-6 weeks post op)
• Exercise professional review (4 months post op)
• Dietitian reviews (3 and 6 months post op)
• Specialist Physician review with comprehensive blood test (6-12 months post op)

Beyond the first year, our Weight Loss Surgery Support Program provides lifelong follow-up to help maintain your results.

Patients can self-refer to our centre or be referred by their GP. Your journey typically begins with a consultation, BMI assessment and discussion of the most suitable options for your circumstances.
