Do I Have to See Your Dietitian, or Can I See My Own?

Personalized Nutrition Plans to Fit Your Lifestyle

At Brisbane Obesity Clinic, we understand that some patients may already have a trusted dietitian or nutritionist. However, for the first 12 months following your bariatric surgery, we highly recommend seeing one of our specialist bariatric dietitians — and here’s why.

Why It’s Important to See a Bariatric Dietitian After Surgery

From Your Bariatric Surgeon:

“Your journey to better health doesn’t end with surgery — in fact, that’s just the beginning. What you eat, how you eat, and how your body responds to nutrition post-surgery is vital to long-term success. Our in-house dietitians are not only experts in nutrition — they’re specifically trained in bariatric care. They know what to look for, what to recommend, and how to help you thrive after surgery.”
— , Bariatric Surgeon, Brisbane Obesity Clinic

Support That’s Tailored to You

Our dietitians offer personalized nutrition plans based on your unique lifestyle, preferences, and goals. While your previous dietitian may be wonderful, they may not have the specialized training required to monitor post-bariatric nutritional needs — including vitamin and mineral absorption, protein intake, and managing potential deficiencies.

What Makes Our Bariatric Dietitians Different?

• Specialist Training in post-surgical care and bariatric nutrition

• Regular Blood Test Monitoring to track and adjust your plan

• Step-by-step guidance through each recovery phase

• Ongoing education and motivation to help you stay on track

• FREE follow-up appointments for 12 months after surgery (you only pay for one session prior to surgery)

The First 3 to 6 Months Are Crucial

The early months after bariatric surgery are a critical window for weight loss and habit formation. Our dedicated team of dietitians works closely with you to manage:

• Portion control

• Meal timing

• Supplement needs

• Food tolerance and reintroduction

From Our Dietitians:

“We’re not just here to give you a meal plan. We’re your partners in this transformation. Our role is to help you feel strong, energised, and informed at every stage of your post-op journey.”
— Brisbane Obesity Clinic Dietitian Team

In Summary

While we respect your personal healthcare choices, for optimal results and your safety, we require you to work with our bariatric dietitians for the first year post-surgery. After that, we’re happy to liaise with your preferred provider if you choose to transition.

Your success is our success — and we’re here to support you every step of the way.
