Anagi C. Wickremasinghe is a Bariatric Surgeon based in Melbourne, working from Level 6, 99 Commercial Rd, Melbourne VIC 3004, Australia. The focus is mainly on helping people manage obesity and the health problems that can come with it. Surgery isn’t the only step, but it can be an important one in the right situation.
In day to day care, Dr Wickremasinghe looks after patients who may need procedures for weight-related health issues and related gut problems. Services include sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, along with gastrectomy. At times, the plan also involves treating ongoing reflux symptoms, which is where gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) comes in. Gastroparesis is another condition that can affect how the stomach works and how food moves through the gut, and it may be part of the picture for some patients.
Because every person’s body and health history is different, treatment often takes a practical approach. Some patients come in after trying other options. Others want surgery because symptoms have become hard to manage, or because their weight has started to affect daily life. Over time, the aim is to support safer eating habits, help reduce symptoms, and work towards better long term health.
There are also times when a patient’s situation needs more than one discussion before deciding what to do next. It can be about understanding the operation, the follow up care, and what recovery looks like. For some people, reflux symptoms may be a big concern, while for others it might be weight control or stomach emptying issues.
