A/Prof Lilian Kow

A/Prof Lilian Kow is one of the founders of Adelaide Bariatric Centre. Together with her then collegue Prof Jim Toouli, she introduced the Swedish Adjustable gastric band to Australia. Internationally, Lilian is one of the leading investigators of vagal block therapy  for the treatment of obesity.

Over the years Lilian has had the opportunity to visit many bariatric clinics around the world. This has left her with the firm belief that bariatric surgery works better with an effective support team and programme. Lilian and her colleagues at Adelaide Bariatric Centre have been at the forefront of developing a multidisciplinary programme to support our patients in their weight loss journey. Adelaide Bariatrics aftercare programme was on if the initial ones adopted in Australia and internationally and the first to be used in South Australia.

Lilian and her colleagues are firmly committed to providing this very important multidisciplinary support for our patients; a programme which clearly makes the Adelaide Bariatric Centre the leading centre for the management of weight loss in South Australia and one of the leading centres in the world.
