The LAPSurgeryFOUNDED in Melbourne in 1987, LAPSurgery Australia has on board four senior surgeons with vast experience in keyhole surgery.
Surgeons Chris Hensman and David Scott joined Richard Gilhome and Ray Mc Henry, who started the facility.
These surgeons undertake a range of procedures such as laparoscopic gastric banding, endoscopic hernia repair, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, endoscopic carpal tunnel and endoscopic thoroscopic symapathectomy.
They have been performing laparoscopic gastric banding since 1997 and are currently performing over 400 procedures a year.
The team is proud to offer a comprehensive multi-disciplinary approach to the patients’ needs and prides itself as a centre of excellence.
The team is made up of surgeons, who assist each other, the practice nurses, physicians, psychologists, dietitian and a lap band coordinator.
Collectively, they provide excellent patient care and support before and following surgery for life.
For patients with serious weight loss problems, scientific studies have proven the adjustable gastric band to be the safest, most effective method of long-term weight loss.
After surgery most people can expect to lose between 50-60 per cent of their excess weight and dramatically reduce the risk of other health problems such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease and even premature death.
The patient and referring doctor are provided with phone assistance 24 hours a day seven days a week.
To make an informed decision about considering weight surgery, the practice runs free information seminars monthly.
The weight loss process is gradual and a healthy weight range can be achieved with regular exercise in 12 to 18 months and a positive lifestyle.
