Bariatric Surgery
Friday, 10 June 2011 Start 4:00pm Duration: 25mins Baytrust Forum
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.
Questions and problems from participants are encouraged with the goal of facilitating worthwhile
discussion.

Why Diets are not the Answer
Friday, 10 June 2011 Start 4:25pm Duration: 25mins Baytrust Forum
Patients who struggle with a difficult love-hate relationship with food crave a positive, rational approach
to eating. This session will deconstruct the Am I Hungry? Mindful Eating Cycle and explore the biopsycho-social
drivers of each decision point. Attendees will learn why mindful eating is a powerful and
universal approach to the complex issues contributing to problematic eating behaviors.
Learning objectives:
1. Participants will identify the six crucial decision points in the Mindful Eating Cycle.
2. Participants will describe the psycho-social-behavioral patterns in instinctive eating, overeating and
restrictive eating
3. Participants will explain why mindful eating is a powerful and universal solution to the complex
problem of yo-yo dieting and chronic diseases impacted by lifestyle choices.
