Why Choose The Hospital Group?

Reaching your weight loss goal can prove difficult, and we know that every weight loss journey is different. If you are struggling to lose weight and have exhausted endless diets and exercise regimes, weight loss surgery could be the answer. 

Weight loss surgery is a procedure that helps to control your appetite and reduce your portion sizes, meaning that sticking to a healthy eating plan is easier. There are various weight loss surgery options available, all designed to help you achieve your weight loss goals, lead an active lifestyle, and reduce the risk of obesity-related health problems. 

The Hospital Group offers a variety of weight loss surgery solutions. Our gastric band, gastric bypass, gastric sleeve and conversion surgeries will support you in losing weight and encourage a healthier lifestyle. And, of course, our support doesn’t end with the surgery itself – thanks to our dedicated surgeons, nurses, dietitians and surgeon assistants, we are on hand to offer the very best guidance and expertise before, during, and long after your treatment. 

We’re here to help and advise you at every stage of your weight loss journey, with regular appointments, dedicated specialist dietitians and nurses forming part of your aftercare package. Life after weight loss surgery can result in a happier and healthier lifestyle, and many of our patients report overall improvement in their wellbeing. However, you will need to make dietary changes to reach your long-term weight loss goals and improve your health. 

You will be advised to follow a specific diet to prepare for the surgery itself. Following the procedure, our dieticians will advise you on the gradual progression through liquids, pureed food and soft food before eventually moving back onto solid foods. The timeframe for each phase can vary but most patients are able to progress onto solid food after 4 weeks.   

Recovery time can take between 1 to 8 weeks, depending on the procedure you have. During your recovery period, some patients experience significant weight loss, and you may find that obesity-related health problems could have already started to improve. 

It is important to remember that weight-loss surgery is a helping hand and a tool to make sticking to a healthy eating plan easier, rather than a quick fix. You will need to remain fully committed over the long term to successfully improve your health.
