Bariatric and general surgeon Dr Siva Gounder is our first specialist to perform metabolic and weight loss procedures.
Dr Gounder said he takes great care to ensure patients receive the best type of surgical treatment for their struggle with obesity and tailor treatment to patient’s individual needs.
“I love to see the incredible and sustained changes the operations makes in people’s health and lives,” he said.
“Bariatric surgery can have an almost immediate effect on relieving a patient’s suffering as well as prevent a host of medical illness. I find this a very satisfying way to practice medicine.
“Over the past five years, we have moved away from gastric bands to more robust operations, such as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass surgery.
“There is also more acceptance by medical fraternity of the metabolic benefits of the operations, especially in treating Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus”.
Dr Gounder performs a variety of weight loss surgical procedures, including gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. He is also a GESA accredited endoscopist and performs gastroscopy and colonoscopies.
