🎯 Unbiased Guidance on Bariatric Surgery

Surgical Solutions for Lasting Weight Loss

Weight-loss surgery is about more than changing appearance—it’s about improving health, restoring energy, and reducing the risks of conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea. In clinic i am able to discuss with you five proven surgical options designed to deliver safe and sustainable results. I am not affiliated with any hospital so my information and guidance is purely impartial. Each procedure works in its own way: some reduce stomach size, others limit food absorption, and some help control appetite. Below, you’ll find an overview of the five main surgeries available. Each option comes with its own benefits, considerations, and level of commitment, giving you the flexibility to choose a path that fits your lifestyle and long-term goals. I am able to offer independent expert post operative care whether you have had surgery abroad, through the NHS recently or some time ago. Throughout the process, i am here to guide and support you—ensuring that every decision you make is informed, personal, and focused on your wellbeing.

Gastric Bypass

A proven and widely used weight-loss surgery
Gastric bypass works by creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting
part of the digestive tract. This limits food intake and reduces calorie
absorption, leading to significant and sustainable weight loss. Patients
often experience improvements in obesity-related conditions such as type
2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

A straightforward, effective option for lasting results
In this procedure, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a
sleeve-shaped pouch. The smaller stomach restricts food intake and
decreases hunger hormones, helping patients achieve substantial weight
loss. Sleeve gastrectomy is less complex than gastric bypass and often
recommended for those seeking effective long-term results with lower
surgical risks.

Gastric Balloon

A non-surgical, temporary weight-loss aid
A gastric balloon involves placing a soft, inflatable balloon inside the
stomach to take up space and promote a feeling of fullness. It is a
minimally invasive option, typically removed after 6–12 months, and best
suited for individuals looking to lose a moderate amount of weight or
prepare for a more permanent surgical intervention.

Gastric Band

An adjustable and reversible solution
The gastric band is a silicone device placed around the upper portion of
the stomach to create a smaller pouch. The band can be tightened or
loosened through a small port, allowing flexibility in weight management.
It is less invasive and fully reversible, though weight loss may be slower
compared to other surgical options.

Single Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (Mini Gastric Bypass)

A simplified yet powerful alternative
This modern variation of gastric bypass involves creating a small
stomach pouch and connecting it to the small intestine with a single join
(anastomosis). It offers similar weight-loss benefits to the traditional
bypass but with a shorter operation time and potentially fewer
complications. It’s an increasingly popular choice for patients seeking
effective results with a streamlined surgical approach.
