About Us

We are committed to helping you on this journey of living a healthier, longer, and more fulfilling life.

New Me provides a specialised surgical weight loss treatment service for people who struggle with overweight and obesity-related illnesses.

The management of chronic obesity requires a life-long commitment from the affected person. It involves a combination of bariatric surgery and dietary and lifestyle changes to achieve better health and longevity.

In addition to bariatric surgery, we specialise in treating reflux disease (heartburn) and minimally invasive (key-hole) general surgery, as well as providing an endoscopy service.

New Me Surgeons use the da Vinci Robot for Robotic Surgery in complex revisional bariatric surgery.

“I feel fabulous on the inside and on the outside, and I never thought I would. I knew that surgery worked—I’d seen it—but when it’s yourself and you’ve tried everything, you think, ‘Oh, there’ll be a catch.’ But seeing the scales move, clothes fitting differently, and people noticing—it’s everything I hoped for.”

“For me, the major thing is to be able to exercise and just have so much more energy… I feel as though, when I think back now, I think I was almost dragging myself around. Now, I feel amazing.”

“Just be open and honest… I’ve involved my family, my mates, my colleagues. The positivity and support from those around you only adds to the motivation to keep going.”
