- Some patients may also be referred for an upper GI endoscopy or psychological support, depending on their individual needs.
- This preparation ensures your body and mindset are ready for a successful surgery and recovery.
2. Surgery & Hospital Stay
All surgical and hospital-related costs are included, such as:
- Hospital admission and theatre fees
- Surgical equipment and prostheses
- Fees for the surgeon, assistant, and anaesthetist
Our team performs all procedures at accredited private hospitals to ensure safety, comfort, and a smooth experience.
3. Post-Surgery Care & 12-Month Aftercare Program
Your 12-month After Care Program is included in your Bariatric Management Fee and covers:
- Follow-up appointments with your Surgeon, Nurse Practitioner, and Bariatric GP
- Access to support for any readmissions or revision surgery, if required
- Please note any dietetic aftercare and discharge medication will incur an additional cost.
