Triglycerides: Unravelling the Fats  in Your Body  Compiled by  Dr Harold Gunatillake -Order of Australia  FRCS, FICS, FIACS, AM(Sing), MBBS(Cey) Triglycerides—a term often heard but not always understood. While you may be more accustomed to checking your blood  cholesterol, understanding and monitoring your triglycerides is  equally, if not more, critical for your health.  Triglycerides and cholesterol are different lipids circulating in your  blood. Triglycerides store unused calories and provide your body  with energy. Cholesterol is used to build cells and certain  hormones.

World-Class Sri Lankans – By Dr Harold Gunatillake Hello everyone, While browsing Facebook, I stumbled upon an old description of me titled “World-Class Sri Lankans.” I thought sharing it with the 40,000 or more Sri Lankans I communicate bi-weekly through various channels was fitting, so I wanted to share it with you all. A professor of surgery, he developed a unique and successful surgical technique for operative procedures in abdominoplasty. This technique was named the “Gunatillake technique of abdominoplasty” after Sri Lankan Dr. Harold Gunatillake invented it. Since then, he has been able to describe the procedure at conferences in Paris, Rome, Florida, Los Angeles, Japan, Peru, and Bangkok. Recognised as the first surgeon to start liposuction in Australia in 1981, Dr Gunatillake pioneered cosmetic surgery, a relatively new field branching off from plastic surgery in Australia. In May 2022, #SriLankan Dr. Harold Gunatillake received an ‘Order of Australia’ Medal ...
