Why Choose Us?

Dr Vytauras KuzinkovasWhile modern laparoscopic techniques have made weight loss (bariatric) surgery safer, most of bariatric procedures are considered major surgery. Therefore, choosing the right bariatric surgeon is an important medical decision that should not be taken lightly. Bariatric surgery does offer the potential to change your life for the better, but to be successful in making that change; you need to be committed to a healthy lifestyle and to choose the best bariatric surgeon for your needs.

Finding A Qualified Bariatric Surgeon

One of the most important qualifications to check for in a bariatric surgeon are surgical degrees with a specialty in an Upper Gastro - Intestinal Surgery. Find out how many years your doctor has been in practice, performing surgery and find out how often he does the procedure that you need. To maintain the high Upper GI surgical skills and expertise - the surgeon must be also qualified in performing other complex major upper gastro -intestinal surgical operations, in particular - resectional oesophago - gastric cancer surgery. As there are various weight loss operations available - the surgeon should be also able and willing to advise and tailor the weight loss operation to every patient as an individual. No doubt - the surgeon must be equally qualified to offer and perform all the available operations in the field of weight loss surgery.

When you choose a bariatric surgeon like Dr V. Kuzinkovas, you can rest assured that your bariatric surgeon has satisfied the rigorous requirements for training and expertise, set forth by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons and the various other Accreditation Authorities.

Because bariatric surgery is a major operation, you should also be sure to choose a bariatric surgeon with an excellent track record for safety and results. Actually, most of our bariatric surgery patients come to us because more and more of our patients tell them about the positive results and one-on-one personal care they received from our bariatric surgery team.

Since bariatric surgery procedures are done in a hospital setting, your bariatric surgeon should have surgical privileges at the leading hospitals in the area. Dr. Kuzinkovas not only has hospital privileges at excellent Sydney hospitals like St George Public and Private (currently obtaining a Centre of Excellence Status), St Luke’s Care but is also well-respected by operating room personnel at these hospitals who have seen him in action. In fact, hospital personnel have even referred friends and family members to our accredited bariatric surgeon, Dr Kuzinkovas.

Post-Operative Care and Personal Attention

Vanessa OpitIn addition to his experience and skill in the operating room, Dr. Kuzinkovas provides thorough follow-up care after your weight loss surgery to help you achieve the best results. We know that making the lifestyle changes necessary to benefit from bariatric surgery is difficult, so we check in with you every one to three months for a first year after your weight loss surgery and half yearly afterwards. During this time, our nutrition specialist, Vanessa Opit and exercise specialist Renee Kounis stay on the right track with your diet and exercise before and after bariatric surgery.

Renee KounisBe wary of choosing any bariatric surgeon that does not have similar qualifications, expertise and does not provide the same level of one-on-one attention and personal care as Dr Kuzinkovas. Without proper follow-up care and a team of weight loss professionals to reinforce your diet and exercise plan, it is very easy to slip up and fall into the same unhealthy habits you had before your weight loss surgery. Patients who fail to follow their post-operative diet and exercise plans are likely to gain back some of the weight they have lost, often requiring revisional bariatric surgery.

If you are ready to make a change in your lifestyle and are looking for a qualified bariatric surgeon in Sydney area, please contact Dr. Kuzinkovas to schedule your first weight loss surgery consultation at one of our offices in Sydney, NSW.
