He is the only dedicated specialist Weight Loss surgeon in New Zealand. This is all he does. Other surgeons perform other types of surgeries whereas Ben is committed to Bariatrics.
The Auckland surgeon can now advise patients on the best procedure for achieving their weight loss goals and regaining their health. The clinic offers both gastric bypasses and sleeve gastrectomy.
Bariatric surgery is a procedure during which the lower intestine opening is detached from the lower part of the stomach and then re-attached to the top part of the stomach. This helps to shrink the stomach and reduce the amount of food eaten. It also reduces the time the food spends in the small intestine, thereby limiting nutrient absorption.
Patients who qualify for this type of surgery must have a BMI greater than 40 or between 35 and 40, if they have any other conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Patients with a BMI of 30 - 35 can also be eligible, but each case is evaluated separately for its merit.
It is essential that the patient prepares properly. They will most likely have their surgery about 6 -12 weeks from the time that they went to see the doctor. The weight loss experienced after the surgery differs from person to person and is also influenced by the patient's starting weight. Generally, people achieve a weight loss of between 70 - 80% above their ideal weight, which is set at a BMI of 25.
Patients often ask what the best type of surgery would be, which can be difficult to answer as each person’s case is unique. Most people can have a gastric bypass but if this is not possible, they would then have the sleeve gastrectomy option.
Dr Wheeler said, “I perform both the one anastomosis gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, as well as Roux-en-Y gastric bypasses in both the primary and revisional setting.”

Leaving fans disappointed enough that concert organisers feel compelled to apologise and offer refunds is not how any star musician would want their performance to be remembered. Yet that was the fallout from the second of Chinese-American pianist Yuja Wang’s Hong Kong concerts with the Mahler Chamber Orchestra – part of Premiere Performances’ 20th anniversary season – after Alexander Tsfasman’s Jazz Suite for Piano and Orchestra was dropped at the last minute for “artistic reasons”. It was an...

Crime may not pay, but it has historically dominated the Hong Kong box office. Local films exploring the treacherous underworld of triad gangs, criminals and police officers have captivated audiences since the 1970s, when foundational works such as Ng See-yuen’s Anti-Corruption (1975) and Leong Po-chih’s Jumping Ash (1976) ignited the genre. Many Hong Kong crime films have equivocated on moral issues, operating in a grey zone where police can be as bad as the criminals. That was never truer than...
