The Christmas break can feel joyful for some, and overwhelming for others, and that’s okay.
If you’re feeling the pressure, remember this: it’s completely okay to pause. To rest. To step back from expectations and focus on your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Your journey doesn’t need perfection. It needs compassion, especially the kind you give yourself.
At Perth Weight Loss & Surgery, we’re here to remind you that taking a breather doesn’t mean falling behind. It means protecting your energy, your health, and your peace.

Be kind to yourself this season. You’re doing better than you think.

Seasonal weight changes are completely normal. Research shows small gains around Christmas, Easter, weekends, and even changes in weather. These shifts don’t mean you’ve failed; they simply reflect real life and routine changes.

When you understand these patterns, it becomes easier to plan ahead, make gentle choices, and feel more in control across the year. It’s not about restriction, just awareness and support.

At Perth Weight Loss & Surgery, we help you build confidence through every season of your journey.

💙 This Movember, let’s talk about men’s mental health.

Behind every smile — and every moustache — there can be stress, pressure, and silent struggles.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness.

At Perth Weight Loss & Surgery, we see how improving physical health can positively impact confidence, mood, and wellbeing, but we also know the journey starts with talking.

If you’re finding things hard, start the conversation.

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a keyhole procedure where the upper section of the stomach is divided to create a small pouch, roughly the size of an egg. This pouch is then connected directly to a section of the small intestine, bypassing part of the digestive tract.

This reduces the stomach’s capacity to around 30ml–50ml and changes how the body absorbs food, helping you feel full after smaller meals while improving metabolic and hormonal regulation.

Advantages:
• Long-term, effective weight loss (around 65–75% excess weight loss)
• High rates of improvement or remission of Type 2 diabetes
• Reduction in reflux symptoms
• Proven long-term results over decades of use
• Performed laparoscopically with small incisions and a short recovery time
