Gastric Banding

Am I Eligible?

Gastric Banding may be suitable if:

  1. You have a BMI of at least 30 and been struggling with your weight for many years despite several genuine attempts at weight reduction (click here to check your BMI)
  2. Your weight problem is not caused by an underlying endocrinological disorder or medication
  3. You are at least 16 years of age (note there is no upper age limit- our oldest patient is 76)
  4. You are ready to actively participate in our ongoing Total Care program

If you also have type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, or other obesity related medical disorders, or have a family history of these problems, weight loss surgery may be especially beneficial in improving your health and longevity.
