Weight Loss surgery

We’re the UK’s most trusted weight loss & cosmetic surgery provider

Who is suitable for weight loss surgery?

You’ll need to meet certain criteria to qualify for weight loss treatment and one of the main criteria is your BMI (body mass index) which is the body mass divided by the square of the body height). Weight loss surgery can be considered in most people who have a BMI of over 40.

If you have an obesity-related condition such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnoea, joint problems, osteoarthritis, asthma or cardiovascular disease, you might be considered for surgery if your BMI is between 30 and 40. However every person is different and there are several factors to take into account, such as your family history and any previous attempts at weight loss.

Life after weight loss surgery

We’re here to support you every step of your journey with regular appointments, dedicated dietitians and bariatric nurses as part of your aftercare package with us. Life after weight loss surgery can result in a happier and healthier lifestyle with many of our patients reporting overall wellbeing improvements. But 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 surgery, you will be advised to consume liquids only for 2-4 weeks followed by, depending on the procedure, pureed food for 1-2 weeks and soft food for 1-2 weeks before eventually progressing back onto solid foods.

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

It’s 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’ll need to remain fully committed over the long term to successfully improve your health.
