24.01.2022 Dr Puhalla doesn’t only help people with their weight! Also specialising in liver surgery meant that he was part of the team helping Carly fight against cancer. We wish her and her family all the best in the future

24.01.2022 Very happy to be back in theatre today! We're fully equipped to follow the current safety guidelines

22.01.2022 The Diabetes Surgery Summit, endorsed by over 50 international organisations including the Australian Diabetes Society, recommends metabolic surgery for the management and treatment of type 2 diabetes in patients with obesity. Clinical evidence has found that people with obesity and type 2 diabetes who undergo bariatric surgery not only improve their glycemic control and reduce their medication usage, but also reduce the risks of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and cancer, and improve their overall quality of life and longevity.

22.01.2022 Safety first, always. Duckbill masks help protect us and patients

20.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day! It's been a weird year for most of us, and many people have had it rough. A simple "are you okay?" can change someone's day for the better

18.01.2022 It's National Diabetes Week! Did you know that over 4% of Australians (which is around 1 million people!) have Type 2 Diabetes? This is expected to increase to 3 million people by 2025*. Diabetes remission or improvement is a known benefit of weight loss surgery, with studies showing that after bariatric surgery, blood glucose may return to normal without medication in up to three out of four people with type 2 diabetes, while others are able to reduce their diabetes medicat...ion^. It's always great to hear our patients have been able to stop taking diabetes medication! * Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics ^ Source: Diabetes Australia

But the delicious chicken or ...beef lupin soups from our friends at @Formulite will give you 22g of protein! Yes, 22g in a cup of soup. We are so pleased to be stocking these in our online store ==> http://ed.gr/b0kb2 Image courtesy of Formulite.

09.01.2022 As I'm sure most of you are aware, restrictions on elective surgeries have been lifted. While that means we have resumed operating, hospitals are still exercising caution and using COVID-safe measures to protect patients and staff. This means that there are still some limitations in place regarding surgeries, in particular, how many can be performed during our regular theatre lists. With that in mind, we are doing our very best to accommodate everyone as quickly as possible..., and we would like to thank everyone for their patience during this time. If we all keep up with washing our hands, and practice social distancing, we'll be back to normal soon enough. Stay safe!

Emails and voicemails will be attended to throughout the break, so if you have any queries, please call and leave a voicemail at 07 5667 9766, or email us at [email protected] and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. ...

04.01.2022 Though we have plenty of room on our comfy couches for social distancing, we kindly ask that everyone visiting the rooms is being COVID safe. That means not bringing more than one person with you to your appointment, and not coming in if you are unwell with cold or flu like symptoms. We can always make your appointment a teleconsult! This way, we can continue to safely offer our services to everyone
