Serving the community of Bendigo and beyond, Bendigo Surgical Services works with SuperCare to make weight loss surgeries accessible through early superannuation release.

We also provide private weight loss surgery. We work closely with dieticians, counsellors/psychologists and exercise physicians to provide holistic assistance to our clients to give them the best possible chance of being successful in their improved health and weight loss goals. We are excited to be working closely with Warringal Private and St John of God to provide superior hospital care to our bariatric patients for their main procedure. Dr Janine Arnold is currently offering Gastric Sleeve surgery and Gastric Bypass surgery.

Our Practice is focused on steady and sustainable growth to provide a much-needed bariatric specific healthcare service to the Central Victorian region including weight loss and general surgery services, dietetic services, psychological services and other services as deemed necessary.

We currently have a Bariatric General Practitioner and a Dietitian consulting from our rooms and look forward to continuing to expand and offer more services to patients.

We are dedicated to ensuring all contacts with our practice are as smooth and easy for our patients as possible. We offer an online patient portal to allow our patients secure access to their medical information at all times as well as minimising paperwork on the day of appointment, all while reducing paper waste.

Dr Arnold spends most of her time in Bendigo. She also performs Bariatric Surgery at Warringal Private Hospital.

Meet Dr Janine Arnold

Originally from Sydney, Janine undertook basic surgical training in Royal North Shore Hospital, and then completed her Surgical Education and Training in the Bankstown / Prince of Wales Network.

With a desire to be a rural surgeon, she sat and passed her Fellowship Exam in May 2011, and then worked in Bendigo as the Surgical Fellow in 2012.

Janine then accepted a Surgical Consultant position in Bendigo, and has worked there since 2013, previously performing outreach to Castlemaine, Rochester and Echuca. She also operates at Warringal Private in Melbourne.
