Unlearn to Learn is back! We rejoin the series with episode 4, focusing on bariatric surgery; why and when it’s necessary, what the procedure involves and what patients can expect following surgery.
To discuss this and more, Alexander is joined by Dr Lilian Kow. Dr Kow is an Associate Professor and the Clinical Director of Gastrointestinal surgery at Flinders University in South Australia.
Bariatric surgery is a complex procedure to treat a complex disease. Dr Kow has visited bariatric clinics all over the world and advised and trained surgeons in the treatment and support of patients who have the surgery.

WOF will continue to remind all people involved with our Podcast to adopt People-First Language and to encourage all media, bloggers and others to utilise People-First Language in their writing and talking so that we can further eradicate weight bias and stigma.
