Obesity Surgery - with a personal Experience - Concurrent Workshop Repeated
Saturday, 11 June 2011 Start 2:00pm Duration: 55mins Opus
Start 3:05pm Duration: 55mins Opus
Obesity is a common problem that now seems to have very effective surgical treatments available, but
exactly how these work, and who may be appropriate for surgery is sometimes less clear to referrers.
Grant Beban and Richard Babor are both Upper GI and Bariatric Surgeons in Auckland, working both
in public hospitals and in the private sector. They will describe the different operations available, and
illustrate the sorts of outcomes that people get, warts and all, with the use of case studies.
A GP who has had a gastric bypass will bring a patients perspective to the discussion.
Questions and problems from workshop participants are encouraged with the goal of facilitating
worthwhile discussion.
