Capabilities

Bariatric Surgery (Weight Loss Surgery)

Mr. Siva Gounder is specially trained as a bariatric surgeon and has helped thousands of people gain a new lease on life through significant weight loss. Witnessing patient transformations after weight loss surgery was the key motivator for Mr Gounder initially choosing the specialty.

Bariatric Surgery not only treats obesity but can work to reduce the risk of other weight-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Having weight loss surgery can help to prevent certain cancers and cardiovascular diseases in the long run.

The bariatric surgeries that Mr. Gounder performs include:

• Lap Band Surgery
• Gastric Bypass Surgery
• Gastric Sleeve Surgery
• SADI-S/SIPS Surgery (Stomach Intestine Sparing Surgery)
• SASI-S Surgery (One Anastomosis Stomach-Ileal Bypass)
• Revisional Bariatric Surgery

Mr. Gounder will advise you as to which weight loss surgery is the most appropriate for your individual needs.

General Surgery

Mr. Gounder is an accredited member of the Gastroenterological Society of Australia. All bariatric surgeons first train in General Surgery before specialising.

General surgery initially attracted Mr. Gounder as it is a very results-oriented specialty. For example, suppose a patient has a surgical problem such as appendicitis, gall bladder pain, or extremes like bowel perforation. In that case, a well-performed surgery fixes the problem immediately, and results are almost instantaneous.

Some of the general surgeries that Mr. Gounder performs include:

• Gallstone Surgery
• Hernia Surgery
• Acid Reflux treatment
• Appendicectomy

Patient Care Principles

When receiving treatment to help with obesity and related issues, it is essential that you have a surgeon you can trust. With more than 15 years of surgical experience, multinational training, and experience that spans thousands of operations, you can be sure that with Mr. Gounder, you will be getting the best care possible.

Mr. Gounder prioritises his patients’ comfort and holds himself and his team to an extremely high standard, always operating with honesty and clarity.

Led by Mr. Gounder, the Perth Weight Loss Surgery team focuses on ensuring that our patients feel informed and comfortable throughout every step of their weight loss journey. Within our team, Mr. Gounder works with an experienced staff of psychologists and dietitians, providing support in all post-surgery processes.

For Mr. Gounder, seeing the long-term results of the operations that he performs and the efforts of his patients to live healthier lifestyles, is the best part of his job. He holds the greatest respect for his patients as they work on improving their health.

If Mr. Gounder had to give one piece of advice to his patients, it would be that without our health, wealth is not of much use. Therefore, we should always prioritise our physical and mental health, and reach out for help when we need it.
