SIOS Advantages
COMMITMENT TO OUR PATIENTS:
At the Sydney Institute for Obesity Surgery, we value our patients and
demonstrate our commitment to their long term weight loss success. We encourage
our patients to return to the clinic every 4-6 weeks in the first year
especially, and then every 3 months. After this, we like to see you every 6
months for the life of the band. This is to ensure that the band is adjusted
correctly and is working well for you, and you are working well with the band.
We like to know that you are healthy and well, and we just like to stay in
touch. We are very proud of the efforts and successes of patients. For us, this
work is extremely rewarding when we see our patients at regular intervals, even
if those intervals are 6 months apart.
Because we do insist and expect that you will stay in touch, we prefer not to
put any obstacles in your way. This is why we have decided to bulk bill for your
post operative visits, consultations and band
adjustments. This is a significant SIOS advantage.
WE PUT OUR PATIENTS FIRST:
As a comprehensive program, we offer many services to support you on your
weight loss journey. Our monthly support group is available to all of our
patients so that they can exchange ideas & experiences. It is invaluable to know
that you are not alone. We find that the group has the capacity to assist its
members in ways that the professional team could not. Whilst there is an
educational focus each meeting, patients learn much from each other.
This is why our group attendance is totally free, and part of not only our
commitment to you, but the SIOS advantage.
OUR TEAM:
Other weight loss programs refer their patients to allied health providers
such as dietitians and psychologists who are merely associated with the program,
but we do
not. Our program focuses on providing all the support you require from one
centre,
from health care professionals who are carefully selected to work on our team.
You ought not be travelling all over Sydney in order to obtain the support you
need.
Our team is well qualified in their own disciplines and have obtained additional
qualifications/experience in either obesity, weight loss, or surgery. They are
each
active members of the peak national and international obesity surgery societies
and associations.
Their qualifications and experience are available for you to see, on this web
site.
Additionally, our team has a special interest in patients of size, and are
chosen for their high calibre, empathy and compassion for the specific needs of
our patients.
Another SIOS advantage!
