With this announcement, Dr Wheeler is providing a surgical alternative to severely overweight people who would like to lose weight in order to avoid severe health complications.
Find out more about Dr Benjamin Wheeler’s (Ben) weight loss surgery options at https://bariatricsurgery.co.nz
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.”

George Lucas and Mellody Hobson want their massive spaceship of a museum to be an experience. Across 300,000 sq ft (27,000 sq metres) and 11 acres (4.5 hectares) of park space, there is a lot to take in. Staring up at the 90-foot (27.4 metre) oculus four storeys above the entrance plaza makes one feel like a speck in the galaxy. Instead of trying to conquer everything at the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art on the first visit – there are more than 1,300 works – maybe focus on some of the highlights...
Female tech entrepreneurship is a rapidly growing field, but not all female founders, it seems, are shown equal treatment. That’s why Phoebe Gates, the 24-year-old daughter of now-divorced Bill and Melinda Gates, made headlines this summer as controversy surfaced over her AI-powered shopping app Phia, which she launched with her former Stanford University classmate Sophia Kianni just last year. Phia was, for all intents and purposes, a huge success story upon launch – the start-up counted Khloé...
