Why consider weight loss surgery?

It's exhausting to have put in so much effort and not see lasting results. But the real explanation for why weight loss is so challenging goes far beyond willpower.

Dieting can put our bodies into protective mode.

Increasing hunger: Dieting can increase hunger hormones and decrease hormones that tell us we’re full, leading to increased appetite and cravings.

Metabolism changes: The body slows its metabolism to conserve energy, making it harder to continue losing weight.

Sustainability issues: Many diets are too restrictive and difficult to maintain long-term, leading to eventual relapse and weight regain..

Surgery helps reduce the body’s fight against weight loss.

Decreasing hunger: Alters gut hormones to suppress appetite and enhance feelings of fullness.

Restriction: Reduces the stomach size, leading to lower calorie intake by making you feel full sooner.

Lifestyle transformation: Not an easy way out, but promotes a full lifestyle change with healthier eating habits and long-term weight management.

Without a tool to reduce hunger, diets are nearly impossible to maintain & achieve lasting weight loss.

In short, weight changes are not the fault of any one person! Weight loss and maintenance is not as simple as eat less and move more.

What our clients say:

"From the beginning, I knew Nicole was going to be the surgeon for me. She made me feel comfortable understood & most of all heard ! That I wasn’t lazy, useless and a failure. Having gastric sleeve surgery has completely changed my life and I’m only roughly 20 weeks into my journey. I could not fault Nicole, everything was seamless her support from the start to the end of surgery waking up to her smiling face was so reassuring & I knew she was equally as excited as me, for me to be able to start my journey on my new life & leave the old Brooke behind !!! And that I have with all the team, dietitians counseling that was provided !!! If you are on the fence, just book it call up the gorgeous jasmine and you will understand what I’m talking about 😍 ! You will not regret it ❤️"

""I just really wanted to express how awesome the team is there at MWLS. I had the best support from Dr Nicole, Megan and Kylie. The support I was given was beyond perfect. Nicole has saved my life and changed my future and my biggest regret is I never did this earlier... I’ve recommended Nicole and her team to two of my friends and one has booked in the other is going to. Thank you for all you have done for me, I had a perfect recovery and I’m the happiest I’ve been in a very long time. I owe you all so very much.""

"Wanted to share my experience with Dr Nicole Winter. Let me start by saying she absolutely saved my life, and has given me my life back. Dr Nicole Winter has been nothing short of amazing, her care, compassion, empathy, understanding and knowledge is beyond what I ever thought I’d find in a surgeon. I am beyond impressed by the team and so grateful for choosing such a wonderful clinic to go through. Looking forward to continuing this journey and hoping this post offers some piece of mind to those who are starting their journey. It might be hard to start with but you won’t regret the decision 🙂❤️"

"I had a gastric sleeve with Dr Nicole Winter in February. Dr Nicole is kind, patient, caring and an excellent surgeon. From the beginning, she made me feel heard. I had very minimal pain post operatively and even when I hit a few bumps in the road early in my recovery, she reassured me that everything I was feeling was normal. The support from the clinic including Megan the dietician, and counselling from Lisa has been wonderful. I am still early in my journey but I can say with hand on heart that my life has changed infinitely for the better as a result of the care provided by MWLS. Thank you to the entire team for your support throughout my journey!"

"Dr Nicole Winter removed my lapband in 2021 and then completed gastric bypass in sep 2023. Through each procedure, Dr Nicole was kind and informative. I felt safe and informed with the whole process. Her assistant, Kylie helped me through claiming on my super and all the aftercare has been fantastic."
