About Dr KumarYour pathway
One team. Start to finish.
- 1
Referral and first call
A GP referral is required. Dr Kumar’s practice nurse calls first, takes your history and tells you which records to bring.
- 2
Consultation with Dr Kumar
About ninety minutes, in person: which procedures suit you, in what order, the risks and the recovery.
- 3
Assessment and preparation
Dietitian and DEXA referrals where helpful, then an itemised quote that includes twelve months of aftercare.
- 4
Cooling-off and third consultation
At least seven days before any commitment, then a further consultation before consent and booking.
- 5
Surgery and twelve months of review
Surgery at Westmead Private Hospital, with reviews at one week, six weeks, twelve weeks, six months and twelve months.
Beyond the operation
Care that starts before theatre and stays long after.
Body contouring after significant weight loss is usually staged. The team around the operation matters as much as the technique.
The nurses who prepare you review you
Dr Kumar’s nurses work in his rooms and on the wards at Westmead Private Hospital, so the faces are often familiar.
Prehabilitation
Referral to Dr Kumar’s Accredited Practising Dietitian — bariatric surgery affects how protein, iron and vitamin B12 are absorbed.
Measuring what the scales cannot
Where it helps, a DEXA body composition scan separates fat from lean muscle — guiding how much is done in each operation and how stages are spaced.
Aftercare, for twelve months
Planned and costed upfront. Dressings and compression garments are managed by Dr Kumar’s team, and Dr Kumar reviews you for twelve months.
Costs & Medicare
Costs
Consultation with Dr Kumar. A Medicare rebate of approximately $88 where criteria are met; a GP referral is required.
Some procedures have Medicare item numbers where clinical criteria are met. That is settled at consultation, with your history and an examination — not online.
How costs are worked out →Body contouring after significant weight loss is staged, so it is quoted individually — with twelve months of aftercare costed upfront.
