Welcome
My name is Dr Neil Wylie,
Bariatric and Upper GI, General Surgeon
Based on the Sunshine Coast from 2026, I perform bariatric surgery at both Buderim Private and Noosa Private Hospitals. Together with dietitians, psychologists and your GP, I consult to develop an individualised plan for your weight loss surgery.
From 2017-2025 I supported patients, primarily in Toowoomba, the Darling Downs and Western Downs, through their surgical pathways. I continue to offer Telehealth support to my Toowoomba patients as part of my commitment to long-term follow up care, alongside Toowoomba's largest bariatric dietitian company, Balance Nutrition.
The Team Approach to Weight Loss Surgery
"My belief is that working as part of a multi-discliplinary team, that patients have the ease of co-ordinated care across both surgical and dietetic clinics. This makes it easier to access long term follow up after weight loss surgery. The bookings team can help both privately insured and self-funded patients."

I'm a first timer
There are many factors that go into determining whether you would be a candidate for weight loss surgery and this requires a surgical consultation, however I can support you by offering a 15 minute complimentary call to answer frequently asked questions about eligibility for an initial consult.
At your first clinic appointment, your eligibility is considered when we consider your full medical history at a Patient Evaluation Clinic on a Monday in Noosa or a Wednesday in Buderim. You will need to allow 45 minutes for this appointment. A 60 minute dietitian consultation is also booked, in person or via Telehealth. After this appointment series you will know if you are suitable and which procedure is appropriate for you. You will need a GP referral to Dr Wylie to receive a Medicare rebate for his clinic. Care plan (TCA) referrals to dietitians also qualify for Medicare rebates.
The administration team at pride themselves on working together with you on After Care scheduling so you are well supported in achieving your weight loss goals. By attending follow up clinics your progress is closely monitored through nutrition reviews and regular pathology tests at the 3/6/9/12 month points.
Revisional surgery
Our booking team has experience with referrals for revisional surgery and will guide you on the best approach, whether its booking in for both clinics with the doctor and dietitian, or just with Dr Wylie. The process starts with a referral from your GP, so get in touch and we can help you from there.
I'm a patient
We are looking forward to bringing online bookings for self service to change and make bookings soon. Until then, many patients of the clinics send us an email and we can get right back to you, or phone us if you prefer.
