About Weight-loss Surgery

Weight-loss Surgery

Weight-loss surgery (WLS) has proven to be a successful method for the treatment of morbid obesity. Surgical options have continued to evolve and Southern Obesity Surgery (based in Christchurch) is pleased to be able to offer patients a variety of safe and effective weight-loss surgery using the latest in Key hole or Laparoscopic Obesity Surgery techniques.

Minimally Invasive

Our surgeons use laparoscopic techniques (using small incisions and long-shafted instruments) to perform the weight-loss surgery. This approach offers reduced post-operative pain, a shortened hospital stay and a quicker recovery.

Combined with effective long-term patient management, the surgery can allow a person to manage their weight, improve their health and get control of their life.
