Auckland NZ Bariatric Surgery For Weight Loss | Obesity Treatment Announced

Jul 1, 2022

Auckland, New Zealand - July 1, 2022 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

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.”

Good Trip review: Nick Cheung, Chung Suet-ying play father and daughter in road comedy

3.5/5 stars In Good Trip, a father and daughter’s impromptu final excursion unfolds as a deceptively playful comedy road movie. It tackles one of the most agonising subjects a family can face – the impending death of a parent – with surprising, life-affirming levity. Co-directed by Norris Wong Yee-lam (The Lyricist Wannabe) – who also wrote the screenplay – and Wong Hoi (Let It Ghost), and produced by the acclaimed filmmaker Mabel Cheung Yuen-ting, the film avoids unbearable sentimentality; it...
