Dietitian Counselling
Our goal at Obesity Surgey Brisbane is to help people reach their own healthy weight and to maintain this in the long term. Our dietitans are specialised, experienced, and trained in Bariatric Surgery and we help people break through their plateues to achieve their goals in the longer term whilst working closely with the surgeons to refer to other health professionals as needed.
We offer thorough assessment of individuals in an open and positive way as every individual is unique in their weight issues. Our Dietitians work closely with their patients to identifying the reason for weight problems and develop a plan to ensure optimal results. Our Dietitians help patients succeed in the pre-operative phase to get them fit for surgery and they educate and support throughout the post operative phase, helping to minimise discomfort and complications while also maximising their patients weight loss.
Our Dietitians continually assess their patients vitamin and mineral intake and supplement accordingly, based on an individual’s medical background, pre surgical nutrition status, health issues, food preferences and surgery type. Not only do our Dietitians work closely with surgeons at monitoring blood results of vitamin and mineral levels and develop supplementation regimes for each individual patient they educate people about food texture and portion sizes, to maximise weight loss and optimise health.
