"I had a lot of doubts about the procedure and was naturally afraid of having a surgery. However, Dr Ryan provided all the answers and assisted to clear my doubts even before the surgery was booked. It took me about a year to arrange things in my agenda and go for it, I wish I could have done it before. Since the moment I decided to go through the process, everything run smoothly. Best decision ever!! Its been 3 months since I had the gastric sleeve and my gallbladder being removed and cannot be happier!! 20kgs lost!! the team has been extremely supportive along the way and being able to answer my frequent doubts on anything happening. Dr Ryan, Dr Tony, Amanda, Holly, Dr Cath, all of them take really good care of their patients and talk from experience. They have been doing this for long and you can notice they know their thing on every answer. If you are still unsure on who will do your procedure, stop by, have a chat with Dr Ryan and Dr Tony and you will know why they are the best!!"

"I had a Gastric sleeve and a hernia done in December 2024 by Dr Cocco. He is the most incredible surgeon! No matter how many questions I asked they weren’t to hard or to much. Dr Cocco has the best bedside manner and he always makes you feel comfortable and safe. I cannot recommend him enough I’m so happy with my results."

"I had gastric bypass surgery with Dr Brendan Ryan in 2020, and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. This procedure has completely changed my life for the better. I started at 133kg and now comfortably sit at 70kg—even after having my first baby five years post-surgery! Dr Ryan was incredibly supportive and professional throughout the whole journey. He even checked in on me personally after surgery, which meant so much and really showed how much he cares about his patients. The anaesthetist was also amazing—he made me feel so at ease right before the surgery, even though I was extremely nervous and on the verge of tears. The care and reassurance I received made all the difference. This experience has been truly life-changing, and I’m so grateful to the entire team."

"From my very first consultation through to surgery and post-operative care, my experience with Dr. Ryan and his team has been exceptional. Every stage of the process — from the initial and subsequent consults to the surgery itself and follow-up appointments — was handled with professionalism, care, and compassion. Dr. Ryan took the time to explain everything clearly, and his team made me feel supported and confident throughout my journey. I’m so grateful for their expertise and the amazing care I received."

"I am two years post op now after a gastric bypass and it has changed my life!! 75kg weight loss maintained for over a year now. I couldnt speak more highly of all the team at Sydney bariactric clinic. From the moment I walked in I felt at ease, with no judgement. All of my 100 questions were answered quickly and put my mind at rest. From the pre op appointments, the actual surgery and hospital stay to the two years of after care, I can not fault a single thing. If you are thinking of having the surgery this is the clinic to use."
