What is bariatric surgery and who is it for?
Bariatric surgery is a set of procedures designed to support significant, long-term weight loss and metabolic improvement. It may be appropriate for patients with obesity, particularly when medical complications such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea or high blood pressure are present.
Which weight loss procedures do you offer?
Procedures may include gastric sleeve and gastric bypass, and in selected cases revisional surgery. Your consultant will advise the safest and most effective option based on your health, goals and previous treatment history.
What is the difference between a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass?
A gastric sleeve reduces the stomach size to help control appetite and portion size. A gastric bypass also changes the route of food through the gut and can offer additional metabolic benefits for selected patients. Your surgeon will explain which option may suit you and why.
Do you offer non-surgical weight loss options as well?
Yes. Many patients benefit from a staged approach, including dietitian-led programmes and medical weight loss treatments such as GLP-1 therapies where appropriate. Surgery is not always the first step.
What happens at the first bariatric consultation?
Your first appointment includes a full medical review, discussion of weight history and goals, assessment of obesity-related health risks, and a clear explanation of options. If surgery is appropriate, you will receive a structured pre-assessment plan and aftercare pathway.
Do you provide dietitian support before and after surgery?
Yes. Dietitian support is a core part of safe bariatric care. Patients are supported with meal progression, protein targets, supplementation planning and long-term habit building to optimise results and prevent deficiencies.
What is revisional bariatric surgery?
Revisional surgery may be considered if a previous weight loss procedure has led to complications, insufficient weight loss, weight regain, or if an anatomical issue is suspected. A careful assessment is required before any revision is recommended.
How long is recovery after bariatric surgery?
Recovery varies by procedure and individual health. Many patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks, with gradual progression over several weeks. Your team will provide a personalised recovery plan and follow-up schedule.
When should I seek urgent medical help after bariatric surgery?
Seek urgent assessment for severe or worsening abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, fever, breathlessness, chest pain, fainting, black stools, heavy bleeding, or signs of dehydration.
