Gastric sleeve surgery can be a helpful option for some people living with obesity. For the right patients, it may support meaningful weight loss and assist in managing certain health conditions.

Dr Jason Winnett has shared a new article exploring 18 potential benefits people may experience after gastric sleeve surgery, that goes from energy and appetite regulation, to sleep and metabolic improvements.

One of the questions Jason gets asked a lot is “So what do you eat?”

Here’s the honest answer:

There’s always a stash of boiled eggs in the fridge. Morning starts with one (or two) and a strong espresso. Meals are usually high in protein and low in refined carbs. And snacks? Things that actually help, like protein bars, nuts, or eggs.

Of course, with three kids, there’s also the odd Snack chocolate block or party mix hiding somewhere in the pantry. The trick? Top shelf. Not the first thing you see.

It’s not about being perfect. Just consistent, practical, and setting yourself up for better choices.

Dr Winnett doesn’t take public holidays off, he just switches task lists 😄⁠
Here’s what he managed to tick off over Australia Day.⁠
⁠
✓ 1-hour walk⁠
✓ 30-minute home workout⁠
✓ Fixed the umbrella⁠
✓ Glued a chipped bit of wood back onto the handrail⁠
✓ Repaired the kicker under the oven⁠
✓ Attached a new wheel to the storage tub⁠
⁠
Rest day? Not quite. Productive day? Absolutely. 💪

Had a chat with someone today who felt really disheartened that the weight wasn’t shifting anymore. She’s been doing everything right: eating well, moving more, showing up for herself.

But the number on the scale hasn’t moved in weeks. What feels like “stuck” is often just your body adjusting. That plateau is frustrating, but it’s also normal.

Sometimes I think the most important thing we can offer (as clinicians, as humans) is to remind people that change takes time, and that their effort still counts even when the scale doesn’t show it (yet).

It’s been great seeing more people getting outside again, just enjoying summer! 🔆 If you’re preparing for surgery (or just trying to build healthier habits), a little bit of movement goes a long way.

Here are a few gentle ways to get started:

- Short walks are perfect. Even 10 minutes helps.
- Water or chair-based exercises take pressure off sore joints.
- Some light stretching or yoga can ease tension and improve flexibility.
- A couple of resistance sessions a week helps keep muscles strong.
- Keep a simple log (steps, minutes, anything). It adds up.

And remember, there is no need to be perfect. Just start somewhere and keep showing up!

Heard of Lap Band surgery but not sure what it actually involves?

Here’s the simple version:

A soft, adjustable band is placed around the top of your stomach. It helps you feel full on smaller amounts of food (not by removing anything, just by gently slowing how food moves through).

The surgery is done laparoscopically, through small incisions. No cutting or stapling of the stomach, and it's reversible.

The band is connected to a small port just under the skin. This lets your specialist adjust it over time (tightening or loosening it) to suit your needs.

Dr Jason Winnett has performed hundreds of Lap Band surgeries and supports patients through the whole journey, from the first consult to long-term follow-up.

Have questions? Our team’s here to talk it through with you.

Many people think the pre-op diet is just about losing weight before surgery, but that’s not really the main goal.

As Ashleigh, our dietitian explains, it’s actually about what’s happening on the inside:
- Reducing liver size
- Stabilising blood sugar
- Getting your body ready for a safe and smooth procedure
