The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure for human body shape based on an individual's height and weight.
Fourteen million Australians are overweight.
More than five million Australians are obese
(BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 ).
Obesity has overtaken smoking as the leading cause of premature death and illness in Australia.
If your life seems like a long, uphill struggle with obesity, failed diets and unsuccessful exercise attempts, bariatric surgery could be the weight loss solution that helps you get your life back on track. However, while weight loss surgery can transform your life, it’s not for everyone.
