About this clinic
The Epworth Centre for Bariatric Surgery, founded in 1998, has played a pivotal role in the advancement of weight loss surgery in Australia. With over two decades of dedication to patient care, the center consistently offers safe, reliable, and effective surgical solutions for individuals struggling with obesity.
The highly skilled team at the ECBS provides a comprehensive range of surgical options, including gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass procedures. This extensive offering ensures that patients receive personalized care tailored to their unique needs.
In addition to primary weight loss surgeries, ECBS stands out as one of the most experienced groups in the field of revision surgeries. Their expertise encompasses addressing issues arising after initial weight loss procedures, such as inadequate weight loss, weight regain, or severe acid reflux.
The weight loss journey at the ECBS is a comprehensive and personalized process designed to ensure patients receive the necessary care and support from start to finish. The journey begins with an initial appointment where patients discuss their suitability for weight loss surgery and explore available surgical options with the center's experts. Following this, the team develops a tailored surgical plan and prepares each patient both physically and mentally to maximize the likelihood of a successful outcome.
On the day of the surgery, the patient's surgeon, along with a team of experienced and trusted medical and nursing staff, will oversee the procedure, ensuring the highest level of care and safety. After the surgery, ECBS continues to provide dedicated post-operative support. Patients attend regular check-ups with the center's experts to monitor their progress, and the team remains committed to offering comprehensive care and guidance. This approach facilitates a safe and speedy recovery, empowering patients to transition to a healthier lifestyle with confidence.

LOCAL CARE CONTEXT
Why local healthcare in Melbourne matters
Medical practice in Australia is governed by country-specific licensing, professional standards, and patient-safety regulations. Practitioners listed here are registered with the relevant Australia medical authority and operate within national rules on scope of practice, prescribing rights, and continuing professional development. Care delivered in Melbourne carries the additional benefits of local language support, in-person follow-up, and direct coordination with regional hospitals and labs. A verified profile means EuroClinics has cross-checked the practitioner or clinic against an official source (national medical register, public licence database, or the practitioner themselves), and that the data shown here matches that source as of the last verification date above.
