Dr Lockie's Weight Loss Success Rate Comparison
The whole team here at Dr Lockie's Practice has a strong belief in the multi-disciplinary approach to bariatrics delivering better outcomes for patients.
We put that belief to the test with our contribution to the Bariatric Surgery Registry (BSR*) where data from our work with patients is fed into the BSR to further their research work.
Recent statistics from BSR demonstrate that the team approach works, not only with short term results, but with medium to long term success as well.
The graphs below compare Dr Lockie's data with the comparable average of all BSR contributors for a four year period after surgery.

Figure 1: Percentage Loss of Excess Weight of Dr Lockie's Patients vs BSR Average
Figure 2: Percentage Loss of Total Weight of Dr Lockie's Patients vs BSR Average
These graphs clearly demonstrate our patients are less likely to regain weight, even years after the surgery.
Our Integrated Approach to Weight Loss Works
We believe that it is the integrated team approach, working with a network of specialists who understand metabolic surgery, which ultimately provides our patients with maximum health benefits.
We pride ourselves on delivering expert care for excellent results and are grateful to our patients who have responded well to our approach.

Note From Dr Lockie
Medications will be assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively. With weight-loss and particularly after surgery, comorbidities can change for the better, particularly e.g., hypertension or diabetes. It is essential for your health that medications are discussed with you, your GP and/or any other specialists such as Cardiologist or Endocrinologist etc.
In addition, use of multivitamins, and alternative supplements should be discussed with the practice to promote your better health.
