Why Choose Weight Loss Surgery
Choosing weight loss surgery is a deeply personal decision — and one that can lead to life-changing results. At Aurora Bariatrics, we see patients every day who have achieved significant, long-term success after surgery.
While surgery is a powerful tool for weight loss, we also offer non-surgical options such as evidence-based weight loss medications. Our holistic approach means you’ll have access to a multidisciplinary team — including a dietitian, bariatric GP, nurse practitioner, and psychologist — to support every aspect of your health before, during, and after treatment.
Benefits of Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery can transform your health, confidence, and quality of life. Potential benefits include:
- Improved health and reduced risk of serious medical conditions
- Better management of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea
- Greater mobility and physical comfort in daily activities
- Increased confidence and self-esteem
- Easier social and work interactions
- A renewed sense of achievement and freedom
Why Not Just Diet and Exercise?
Almost every patient we see has tried multiple diets and exercise programs — often with short-term success. But long-term weight loss becomes harder as body weight increases. Research shows that only 3% of diets lead to sustained weight loss in people with a BMI over 40. That’s because obesity isn’t simply about willpower — it’s influenced by genetics, hormones, metabolism, and gut health.
The Limits of Exercise for Weight Loss
Exercise is important for your health and is one of the best ways to maintain weight loss, but it’s less effective as a primary method for losing large amounts of weight. For people living in a larger body, high-impact exercise can also increase the risk of sprains, strains, and joint injuries.
Our Approach — No Judgment, Just Support
At Aurora Bariatrics, we understand you’ve already worked incredibly hard to lose weight. We will never ask, “Have you tried this diet?” — because we know you have. Instead, we focus on personalised, evidence-based treatment plans that take into account your unique medical history, lifestyle, and goals. We combine non-surgical options, bariatric surgery, and ongoing aftercare to give you the best chance of long-term success.
Your journey is about more than just numbers on a scale — it’s about building the healthiest, happiest version of yourself for you and your family.
