The Patient Journey with Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery
Take the next step
We understand that our patients’ journeys begin a long time before we first meet them. From the moment you make your first appointment, we are here to support you throughout your weight loss surgery patient journey, helping you achieve your long-term goals.
Along the way, we get to witness the new you emerge, with greater confidence, new opportunities, and a happier outlook.
Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery generally offers your first consultation within 1-2 weeks of contacting us to request an appointment.
During your initial consultations, you’ll meet with Dr. Ian Martin, bariatric educator, and accredited dietitian. These appointments are a vital first step in your weight loss journey. They help us understand your personal health history, discuss your weight loss goals, and assess which bariatric procedures may be most suitable for you. Dr. Martin will explain the expected outcomes of each surgical option, outlining both the benefits and potential risks, so you can make an informed decision. Based on your individual needs and lifestyle, he will recommend the procedure that offers the safest and most effective path toward long-term success. You’ll be provided with the knowledge and guidance you need to make an informed decision about your weight loss surgery journey.
We’ll partner with you to develop a personalised and comprehensive care plan, ensuring you’re fully prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally for your weight loss surgery. Your procedure will be carried out at The Wesley Hospital in Brisbane, a leading private facility known for its excellence in surgical care.
After surgery, our dedicated team will continue to support you every step of the way. You’ll follow a structured post-operative care plan specifically tailored to your procedure, which includes expert nutritional guidance, lifestyle coaching, and physical activity recommendations. Our goal is to help you build sustainable habits and maintain a healthy, balanced lifestyle to maximise the long-term success of your surgery.
Ongoing support is a cornerstone of your journey. That’s why we provide follow-up appointments for up to two years after your procedure, along with access to The Fresh Start Program—a two-year support program designed to help you stay motivated, informed, and empowered.
We aim to provide you with all the information you need to ensure you feel comfortable with Dr Martin and our team. If you have any concerns or questions at any time through your journey, our staff are here to help.
