Bariatric Surgery.
Five surgical options. Structured preparation. Twelve months of follow-up.
Surgical weight loss pathways managed by the same surgeon, dietitian and nurse.
Twelve months of structured review, in one place.
If your BMI is above 35, or above 30 with a related condition, we would like to talk.
Bariatric surgery is considered when diet, exercise and medication have not produced durable weight reduction, and weight is contributing to medical risk. Eligibility is assessed case by case.
This pathway includes patients with:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Hypertension
- Sleep apnoea
- Fatty liver disease
- Reflux related to weight
- Joint pain limiting daily activity
- Repeated weight cycling
Six procedures we have performed thousands of times. Choosing yours is anything but routine.
Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy
The most commonly performed bariatric procedure. Removes a significant portion of the stomach.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
Restrictive and malabsorptive procedure. Durable weight loss with significant reflux benefit in selected patients.
One anastomosis gastric bypass
Single-anastomosis bypass. Considered in selected patients.
Sleeve fundoplication
Combines sleeve gastrectomy with anti-reflux surgery for patients with reflux or GORD.
Banded gastric bypass
Bypass with a calibration ring. Considered in selected revisional cases.
Gastric band removal
Removal of gastric band, with or without conversion to another bariatric procedure.
Twelve months of structured follow-up. The same surgeon, dietitian and physician you met at the start.
From the first consultation through twelve months of considered follow-up.
Surgeon consultation
A surgeon reviews medical history, weight history, goals and available options. A written plan is provided.
Dietitian and investigations
Initial dietitian appointment, baseline blood tests, body composition scan and gastroscopy where indicated. Psychology assessment for selected patients.
Pre-operative preparation
Two-week VLCD liver reduction diet, pre-operative surgeon and nurse review, anaesthetic clearance and written operation pack.
Surgery and hospital stay
Laparoscopic procedure at a connected private hospital. Most patients stay one or two nights. Anti-nausea protocol, early mobilisation and written recovery plan.
Twelve months of follow-up
Structured reviews with surgeon, dietitian and nurse. Diet progression, vitamin monitoring, supplement review and access to the team between visits.
Same names, every visit.
