Auckland Weight Loss Surgery specialises in the surgical management of obesity.
We offer the full complement of weight loss procedures, including gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgery (also known as a sleeve gastrectomy), allowing us to select the surgery best suited to each patient.
Our surgeons Grant Beban, Richard Babor and Jon Morrow are specifically trained in obesity surgery for weight loss and perform these operations frequently. They work together to optimise patient care.
