About Sunnybank Obesity Centre

Sunnybank Obesity Centre is one of Australia's most established Weight Loss Surgery Clinics with over 25 years experience helping Australians achieve their weight loss goals.

Led by Professor Ash Memon, Sunnybank Obesity Centre offers a tailored approach to obesity surgery.

The clinic offers 3 main weight loss surgeries;

• Gastric Balloon. A Gastric Balloon is a temporary surgical procedure involving a soft, expandable gastric balloon being inserted into the stomach to help create a feeling of early and prolonged fullness after meals
• Gastric Band. This procedure is Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery which involves a Gastric Band being placed around the upper stomach which restricts the capacity of the stomach, therefore reducing the amount of food that can be eaten at one time.
• Gastric Sleeve. The Gastric Sleeve procedure involves reducing the size of the stomach to a short tube shape which limits the stomachs capacity and in turn reduces the amount of food which can be consumed, leading to weight loss.

Accessing Superannuation

Did you know that you can apply for early release of your superannuation to pay for surgical procedures?

Medical surgery funding assistance is something SuperCare has successfully offered for a long time, however, most people are unaware of this initiative. You can apply to access your super to pay for your treatment, your partner's or your children's treatment. You may choose to apply for funding to cover the entire cost of the procedure or part of the cost.

The cost of having any required surgical procedures is now within reach for more Australians, thanks to SuperCare. Fill out the form on the right to enquire with SuperCare.
