Habib Rahman - Bariatric and General Surgeon
Private Service Bariatric (Weight Loss) Surgery
Description
Mr Habib Rahman has been in private practice in Central, East and South Auckland for 17 years. He is a General Surgeon with special interests in the following:
- Endocrine disorders
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Bariatric surgery/weight loss surgery
Mr Rahman is employed by Counties Manukau Health specialising in these disorders.
A long, narrow surgical telescope (laparoscope) that has a tiny camera and light source attached, is inserted through one of the incisions so that the surgeon can view the inside of the body on a TV monitor.
The surgeon then passes specially designed surgical instruments through the other incisions and carries out the procedure using the TV monitor to guide the instruments.
Laparoscopic surgery is usually associated with less blood loss during surgery and less pain and scarring following surgery. In most cases, time spent in hospital is less and overall recovery time from the operation is less than with conventional open surgery.

Referral Expectations
Once a diagnosis has been made, your surgeon will discuss treatment with you. In some instances this will mean surgery, while other cases can be managed with medication and advice. If surgery is advised, the steps involved in the surgical process and the likely outcome are usually discussed with you at this time.
As Mr Rahman will discuss with you, if your treatment requires surgery he usually works with Dr Michael Lorimer and Dr Simeon Eaton of Epsom Anaesthesia Group.
