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) and Revisional Bariatric Surgery. Mr. Gounder will advise you on which weight loss surgery is most appropriate for your individual needs.

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 and Appendicectomy.
