Dr. Gounder is a Specialist General Surgeon who focuses primarily in bariatric and metabolic surgery.He has pursued additional training and holds GESA accreditation for performing gastroscopies and colonoscopies. Beyond his expertise in managing general surgical issues like hernias and gallbladder stones, Dr. Gounder serves as the lead surgeon at Perth Weight Loss and Surgery.
With a comprehensive skill set, he offers various bariatric surgical treatments, including sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, and the duodenal switch operation. His focus extends to the well-being of obese patients with diabetes and other comorbidities, making him a valuable resource for discussing surgical interventions for metabolic syndrome.
Mr. Gounder's initial inspiration for focusing in this field stemmed from witnessing remarkable patient transformations following weight loss surgery. Over time, he has played a pivotal role in enabling thousands of individuals to embark on a new, healthier chapter in their lives through significant weight loss. In addition to addressing obesity, bariatric surgery has the potential to mitigate the risk of other weight-related diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, contributing to the prevention of certain cancers and cardiovascular conditions.
