A life-changing step toward better health.
At WLS, we know weight loss is about more than kilos – it’s about regaining health, energy, and freedom. Now recognised as metabolic bariatric surgery, these procedures improve both weight and related health conditions. For over 15 years, we’ve supported patients across Aotearoa with expert surgical care and the guidance of a dedicated multidisciplinary team. Whether you’re exploring your options or ready for change, we’re here with clarity, honesty, and ongoing support.
Not just weight loss. A better life.
Surgery is a powerful tool – but it’s not a quick fix. Our approach is built around long-term outcomes, with wraparound care that supports your physical, emotional, and nutritional wellbeing.
We’ll walk with you through every stage:
