Dr Benedict Mackay offers patients an expert, multidisciplinary approach to weight loss surgery with a strong emphasis on ensuring an exceptional quality of care. As well as bariatric surgery, he’s also available for upper gastrointestinal and general surgery.
As your patient’s primary medical professional, it’s important to Dr Benedict Mackay to work in partnership with you to ensure a positive long-term outcome.
Successful, permanent weight loss requires ongoing lifestyle changes and we recognise the significant role that a patient’s GP has to play.
Dr Benedict Mackay uses the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners guidelines for bariatric surgery.
One of the key criteria for being a bariatric patient is your BMI (Body Mass Index).
According to BMI categories:
Use our BMI tool to find out if your weight is putting you at risk.
In certain circumstances, patients with lower BMI may be candidates.
One of Australia’s most highly trained and qualified bariatric surgeons, Dr Benedict Mackay combines impressive experience with a deep knowledge of modern surgical techniques and a commitment to achieving the very best outcome for patients.
Dr Benedict Mackay is based on the Sunshine Coast and operates at Sunshine Coast University Private Hospital, so patients no longer need to travel to Brisbane or beyond for exceptional gastrointestinal surgical care.
