    I’ve undergone advanced training in bariatric surgery, including a dedicated fellowship year devoted to bariatric surgery. I perform a range of procedures, including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and revision surgeries. I work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes dietitians, psychologists, and GPs to ensure comprehensive support for patients before and after surgery. I now regularly supervise and teach other surgeons starting out in bariatric surgery, as well as teaching other doctors and allied health professionals on how to best work together in supporting patients.
