Weight Concerns

Diet is the cornerstone of effective weight management.  With experience across both surgical and non-surgical weight loss, Melissa believes there is no “one size fits all” approach to successfully keeping weight off.  She works alongside individuals, tailoring advice to suit their beliefs, lifestyle and health goals.   

Melissa has worked in both the inpatient and outpatient bariatric surgical units at The Alfred and Epworth Health.  Melissa can therefore work closely with your healthcare team to provide advice to those undergoing gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass surgeries.  She can guide you through your pre-surgery diet, during the early phase after surgery, and support with long-term weight loss and ultimately weight maintenance.
