Bariatric Rehabilitation|Holroyd Private Hospital

Program aims:

This program is specially designed for people following bariatric surgery, or those that are seeking to avoid or prepare for upcoming surgery. The program will encourage patients to build knowledge about their condition and acquire the necessary skills and confidence to inspire and sustain long term positive lifestyle changes. With our team of specialist Allied Health professionals, we can offer you emotional support, self-management strategies and long-term nutritional advice.

Who can benefit from this program?

People who have undergone bariatric surgery: Bariatric surgery is a major surgery that can lead to significant weight loss. However, it is important to follow a comprehensive rehabilitation program after surgery to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks. Bariatric rehabilitation can help with wound healing, pain management, physical activity, nutrition, and psychological adjustment.

People who are considering bariatric surgery: Bariatric rehabilitation can help people who are considering bariatric surgery to prepare for the surgery and understand what to expect afterwards. It can also help them to make informed decisions about whether or not surgery is right for them.

People who are obese and have not had bariatric surgery: Bariatric rehabilitation can also benefit people who are obese and have not had bariatric surgery. It can help them to lose weight, improve their physical fitness, and reduce their risk of developing chronic health problems.

Day Program Transport

We understand that attending our day programs can be a challenge. For patients living close to our hospital, we offer a convenient home pick-up and drop-off service at a minimal cost to make your recovery easier.

Inpatient rehabilitation is suitable for individuals who require medical coverage and nursing care, and involves a full time stay at our hospital. As an inpatient, you are provided with a structured environment that helps you to focus on your recovery with regular mealtimes, bedtimes and daily exercise sessions with allied health professionals. This also ensures that you are closely monitored and changes in your condition are addressed immediately.

We provide medical inpatient services to patients who:

Are unable to cope at home or have no one to care for them after hospitalisation, after a bout of illness, a fall or fracture or those unsteady on their feet
Are suffering a chronic illness and are in need of acute hospital care
Are in need of continuing IV antibiotics or wound care such as VAC dressings
Are not ready for rehabilitation, for example, those who are non-weight bearing or slow to heal

The length of your stay will be dependent on your progress and your specific needs as assessed fortnightly by our rehabilitation physicians and allied health professionals.
