Welcome to our website

This website is to introduce you to surgery for severe obesity and the specialist society that
has been formed to encourage research, education and communication into this surgical
specialty. This is not about cosmetic surgery or liposuction but is about major surgery
performed only when all other methods of weight loss have failed in those people whose
health is threatened by their obesity.

Website features information on common obesity surgeries including Gastric banding,
Gastric Bypass, Bilio Pancreatic Diversion BPD and Gastric Stapling.

The obesity health information provided is to reinforce the advice and education you receive
from your own surgeon and family doctor.

The information in this website has been intended to help consumers understand causes
and consequences of obesity and take control of their health. The animated surgeries and
procedures should help you understand obesity surgery and help you to make a decision.

Also, it explains the risks, complications and provides guidelines for living with surgeries,
and procedures.
