Sydney Bariatric Clinic

What Sydney Bariatric Clinic does

Sydney Bariatric Clinic is a private, multidisciplinary bariatric and metabolic surgery practice headquartered in Westmead, New South Wales, with additional consulting and surgical capacity in Norwest, Elderslie and Campbelltown. It is owned and led by Dr. Brendan Ryan, a bariatric surgeon with 15+ years of experience and over 5,000 weight loss procedures performed, supported by a second senior practitioner (Dr. Tony Brancatisano), a lead anaesthetist, dietitians, clinical psychologists and administrative staff. The clinic is accredited as an International Centre of Excellence in Bariatric Surgery, and Dr. Ryan holds Surgeon of Excellence accreditation.

The core offering is a portfolio of laparoscopic (keyhole) surgical procedures — Gastric Sleeve, Gastric Sleeve with MiniMIZER RING, Omega Loop Gastric Bypass with MiniMIZER RING, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, and Single-stage Revisional Surgery — augmented by anti-reflux, gallbladder removal, hernia repair and skin removal / body contouring procedures, plus DEXA body composition scans. The MiniMIZER RING (a silicone ring placed around the gastric pouch or sleeve to reduce stretching and weight regain) is a differentiated procedural element. Patients access the practice via GP referral or self-referral through an online candidacy questionnaire, and are supported with a free Financial Clarity Masterclass, downloadable worksheets and partnerships with SuperCare and TLC for funding and payment plans.

The business operates as a professional services medical practice with per-procedure pricing of approximately $6,500 with private health insurance and $8,500–$9,500 self-funded, plus ancillary fees such as $160 per DEXA scan. Hospital fees are billed separately by partner private hospitals (Westmead Private, Lakeview Private, Camden Surgical). Marketing relies on content/SEO, online self-assessment, patient testimonials, GP referral network, social video and the Financial Masterclass funnel. No external investors, funding rounds, parent company, M&A activity, app or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.

Products and services

• Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Sleeve Gastrectomy) A permanent weight loss procedure where approximately 80% of the stomach is removed laparoscopically with a stapling device, creating a smaller tube-shaped sleeve that reduces food intake and removes the hunger hormone ghrelin. Indicated for adults with obesity seeking significant and sustained weight loss.
• Gastric Sleeve with Minimiser Ring An enhanced gastric sleeve procedure that includes placement of a soft silicone ring around the upper stomach to prevent stretching and enhance long-term weight loss maintenance. Indicated for adults with obesity at risk of weight regain after standard sleeve gastrectomy.
• Omega Loop Gastric Bypass with MiniMIZER RING Surgery Also known as One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) or mini gastric bypass, this procedure creates a small stomach pouch connected to a loop of small intestine, enhanced with a MiniMIZER RING to prevent stretching and reduce dumping syndrome. Patients achieve 80-90% reduction of excess weight within the first two years.

Quantifiable outcome
