The Surgical Obesity Service

A division of Waikato Surgery

• We provide a comprehensive surgical obesity service to our patients.
• We will offer a careful assessment and education process so that patients know exactly what to expect from their operative encounter.
• We will provide information on all procedures performed in New Zealand so that patients can make an informed choice about their treatment.
• We are aware though that no operation can cure obesity. What surgery provides is the most powerful tool to fight weight. We complement that with postoperative support that covers the surgical, nutritional, social and psychological to achieve the most from that tool.
• We will not operate on patients unless we are together convinced that the surgical procedure suggested by our team is the best option for them.
