Live Surgery Mini-Workshops

As a specialist weight management clinic, with a multidisciplinary support team that includes a psychologist, dietitian, and two bariatric surgeons, WeightLoss Solutions Australia runs a number of Live Surgery Mini-Workshops throughout the year. These short 2-3 hour workshops give local GPs and visiting health professionals an opportunity to be present in theatre to witness live surgical procedures, including Lap-Band Surgery, Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy, Abdominoplasty, Hernia Repair, and Cholecystectomy. Workshops typically start around 5:30 in the afternoon and numbers are limited, so please book well in advance if you wish to attend a live procedure. Contact us on 1300 934 448 for more information or complete the online enquiry form to express your interest in attending a live procedure. 

Primary Care Intervention Strategies

A common concern presented to us by GPs in the community is ‘how can they bring up weight-related issues with patients without offending them’. This dilemma has led to the design of Primary Care Intervention Strategies designed to assist GPs with consultations for weight management. The strategy should lead to increased consultations for weight management, comprehensive patient education and care, GP education and support, and well-managed referral networks and pathways. Please click here for an overview of the strategy and to download the weight consultation survey.

Open Nights

WeightLoss Solutions Australia runs a number of information sessions for patients and GPs to attend throughout the year. These sessions give attendees an opportunity to meet Dr Layani and the weight management team, to learn more about the available weight loss options, and ask any questions they may have regarding any of the procedures. To RSVP for our next Open Night click here or contact us directly on 1300 934 448.

Type II Diabetes

Obesity is the number one cause of diabetes; and, there is sufficient medical literature these days to show diet and medication does not cure diabetes. Weight loss surgery is now widely recognized in the medical industry as the only cure for diabetes. Dr Layani is able to explain the health risks associated with diabetes, along with the benefits of weight loss surgery; and, our dietitian is experienced in formulating appropriate meal plans for diabetic patients undergoing weight loss surgery.

Post-operative results with diabetes are astonishing. Up to 80% of patients are cured of their diabetes and over 90% of patients show an improvement in their diabetes following surgery. The need for diabetes medication is either completely or significantly reduced within 3 months after surgery. If patients are older than 45, overweight, and have a family history of diabetes, THEY ARE AT RISK for the disease.
