Melbourne Bariatrics is a team of professionals dedicated to weight loss surgery. We are based on the Mornington Peninsula in Melbourne’s outer east. “Bariatrics” means weight loss surgery. Hence our name. We have been performing weight loss surgery, including Gastric Bands and Sleeve Gastrectomy for over 20 years and have done over 6 thousand operations. Our surgeon, Mr Geoffrey Draper, is a specialist weight loss surgeon and laparoscopic general surgeon with extensive experience. We have dedicated dietitians who are incredibly effective at helping our patients get the best out of their weight loss operation. The rest of the team includes personal trainers, anaesthetists, physicians, surgical assistants and of course our office staff who will help it all get organised.
