Primary Care Management after Bariatric Surgery

A GP event provided by Norwest Private Hospital

Aim:

Bariatric surgery is an evolving subspecialty of gastrointestinal surgery, and it is essential to debate the evidence of bariatric surgery to deliver safe and effective patient care. Advising and assisting patients who are considering bariatric surgery is individualised to each patient and involves an in-depth discussion between the GP, the surgeon and the patient. This event will allow you to discuss the various techniques used to influence weight-loss in people who have emphatically failed to achieve weight loss by other measures.

Dr Michael Devadas

Upper Gastrointestinal, Bariatric, Metabolic or Weight Loss and General Surgeon

Dr Gavin Sandercoe

Plastic Surgeon

ReSet Allied Health Team
