If you have met a bariatric surgeon or considering bariatric surgery, the above question will the first and most important one you will want to ask!!! I’m no mind reader but I know I am right
The answer is a big YES!
Alright for those of you who’d like to know more, read on…
With over two decades of experience, we have been able to adopt the best evidence-based practices of bariatric surgery from around the world.
Standardisation is a process based on set protocols to achieve the desired result every time. Through standard practices we are able to achieve best results in terms of patient safety and desired clinical outcomes for the patient. Too technical for you…?
Ok let me break it down even further…
Pre operative work up, anesthetic fitness, surgical procedure, post surgery care and follow ups…. These are the various landmarks you will travel through and each stage has been designed with a specific goal in mind ‘patient safety’.

Post surgery care
• Quicker post surgery recovery, thanks to ERAS protocol!
• 24hr post-op care
• Customised nursing and dietary care
Follow up
