Gastric bypass surgery involves reducing the size of your stomach and bypassing your lower stomach and part of your intestine. This makes you feel fuller and suppresses your appetite.
A gastric band is an inflatable silicone band, which is placed around the top of your stomach. It works by slowing down how quickly food moves into your stomach, making you feel full earlier.
A gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy) is a type of bariatric surgery which involves removing most of the stomach and converting the rest into a long, thin tube. This restricts the amount of food you can eat, and means you feel fuller sooner.
The Allurion Balloon (formerly known as Elipse) is a swallowable gastric balloon that requires no surgery, endoscopy, or anaesthesia.
When the balloon is swallowed and placed correctly in your gut, it helps to reduce your food intake by taking up space in the stomach and preventing you from feeling hungry.
The Orbera gastric balloon is one of the most widely used non-surgical approaches for helping people to lose weight.
The gastric balloon is passed through your throat and placed in your stomach during a quick, non-surgical procedure – meaning no incisions, stitches, or scars.
An endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty (ESG) is an innovative, non-surgical bariatric procedure performed with the aid of an endoscopic suturing device. It reduces the size of the stomach to help patients to lose weight.
Our structured 12-month Weight Management Programme is designed to help patients to achieve safe, sustainable weight loss, under the guidance of our specialist dietitians.
Your specialist dietitian will support you throughout your weight loss journey through a combination of one-to-one sessions (either face-to-face or virtual), as well as in-between sessions through email and phone calls where needed.
Our HCPC-registered dietitians offer a comprehensive nutrition and dietetic service.
At each assessment, your dietitian will spend time discussing your goals, and agree a dietetic treatment plan to help you achieve them.
We provide a range of prescription weight loss medications and injections to help support your overall weight loss.
These medicines are managed in conjunction with our highly trained pharmacists, who can support you with questions around usage, side effects, and more.
The bariatric service is led by Mr Ahmed Ahmed, one of the UK’s most prominent weight loss surgeons.
