Thinking about weight loss surgery doesn’t mean you’re signing up tomorrow.�At your first consultation, we take the time to understand your medical history, your goals, and what’s realistic for you.

That’s why this first step is about assessment, not commitment.
We’ll look at whether surgery is safe and appropriate for your situation, and if it’s not, we’ll talk through what other support might help.

“Train hard, fight easy.”

It’s a phrase Dr Winnett often thinks about, especially when supporting patients preparing for surgery.

Small habits matter. Laying out your gym clothes, keeping a healthy snack nearby, planning ahead just a little... these are the things that make it easier to stay on track when life gets busy.

It’s not about being perfect. It’s about giving yourself the tools to keep going. We're here to help you do just that.

You can enjoy the celebrations and still feel in control. 🎄
Ashleigh, our clinic dietitian, shares a few simple tips to help you stay on track, without skipping the social side of things.

- Use a smaller plate
- Load up on protein and salad
- Keep wine glasses small – or skip it if you're early post-op
- Choose low-GI fruit over sweets

If you're new here, welcome to Winnett Specialist Group! We're a team based in Melbourne, and while we offer a range of weight loss procedures, what really matters to us is how we support the whole person.

Weight and health are never just about one thing. That's why our approach brings together surgery, nutrition, psychology, movement and ongoing care. Each part plays a role.

Our team includes specialists who really care, who take the time to listen, and who work together to help patients feel supported through every stage of their journey.

Because when the goal is long-term wellbeing, having the right people around you can make all the difference.

It’s a privilege when someone shares more than just their symptoms.
Because in those conversations (the ones about life, loss, hope, change) we often find the real reasons they’re seeking care. And that insight can be just as valuable as any test result.

See this diagram? This is what the stomach looks like after a sleeve gastrectomy.

The sleeve procedure reshapes the stomach into a smaller, tube-like form (about the size and shape of a banana)

This smaller size helps reduce hunger and makes you feel full with less food, thanks to changes in hormones and appetite signals.

It’s done via keyhole surgery, and most patients are up and about within a few days.

For many, it’s a helpful tool to support long-term weight and health goals, especially when other approaches haven’t worked.

Iron. B12. Folate. These are all things we watch closely after bariatric surgery, and especially if you’re planning pregnancy.

I’ve seen patients start off with low energy or unexplained fatigue, only to find out it’s anaemia from low iron or B12.

Routine bloods help us stay ahead of this. And if you’re thinking about getting pregnant after surgery, it’s worth switching to a prenatal vitamin a few months beforehand.

Small things like this really matter.

With so many new treatments on the table, it’s easy for patients to feel overwhelmed.

We recently published a deep dive comparing metabolic surgery with GLP-1s, not to position one as “better,” but to unpack where each works best.

📌 How long-term weight loss compares
📌 What the data says about cost, side effects, and patient subgroups
