Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery

Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery Welcome to our page. It’s a staggering statistic but demonstrates just how many people out there are struggling with an unhealthy lifestyle.

Dr Ian Martin and his team at Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery have been helping patients recapture their good health and enjoyment of life for over 20 years. Welcome to Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery - Helping you achieve a healthier lifestyle.

71% of men and 56% of women in Australia are obese or overweight. By the time you consider obesity surgery, you will likely have been battling a weight problem for much of your life and have tried many different diets, appetite suppressants, antidepressants and other weight loss medications. These techniques may have resulted in temporary or limited success but in many cases, any weight loss will be rapidly regained and sometimes exceeded. We understand that surgery is a significant step and our patients need ongoing support to achieve their weight loss goals. Significant weight loss is achievable, giving you more energy, reduced health issues, improved self esteem, and the chance at a new way of life.

Understanding obesity ⚖️

Obesity is more than just a number on the scale. It’s a complex, chronic health condition influenced by diet, lifestyle, genetics, environment, and how the body regulates weight.

Globally, rates of overweight and obesity have almost tripled in the past few decades, and more than half of Australian adults are classed as overweight or obese, and it's now the second leading preventable risk factor for poor health and early death.

At Brisbane Weight Loss Surgery, we support patients with evidence‑based assessments and personalised treatment plans, from initial consultation through to surgery and long‑term lifestyle changes. Our approach recognises that sustainable health outcomes come from combining clinical care with ongoing emotional and practical support.

If clients are seeking clarity on their health or a path forward, we’re here to help – with expertise, care and a focus on quality of life.

5 Self-care hacks to make your days feel easier after weight-loss surgery.

Recovering from surgery isn’t just physical – don’t forget to take some ‘me-time’ once you get home from the hospital.

1. Gentle movement to keep your body active while in recovery.
2. Mindful meals that you actually enjoy.
3. Hydration with water or no-sugar drinks throughout the day
4. Rest and recovery – take a nap, watch a movie or read a book.
5. Don’t forget about low-impact hobbies like craft, music, art or something else you love.

Self-care is about listening to your body to make choices that help you feel better while you’re on the mend.

Don’t forget to talk to your medical support team to find a routine that works for your body.

A reminder that you don’t need to ‘go hard’ – just get moving.

Just a little bit each day can make a big difference in your weight loss journey.

Movement doesn't always mean hitting the gym, sometimes it can be as simple as getting outside and stretching your legs.
