An operation for weight loss or to treat obesity is called a bariatric surgery. Any type of weight-loss surgery has the aim of making changes to the digestive system so that fewer calories are absorbed and sent into the bloodstream. There are two main types of bariatric surgery: Restrictive including gastric banding – where the size of the stomach is restricted either using staples or a band so that only small meals can be eaten. Malabsorptive (Restrictive) including gastric bypass and duodenal switch – where the stomach size is restricted by bypassing part of the digestive system so that food intake is restricted and not all calories are absorbed by the body. It is unlikely that anyone considering weight loss surgery would be able to access this free of charge on the National Health Service (NHS) without being put on a very long waiting list. Prices for private bariatric surgery can range from £5,000 - £9,500 for a gastric band to £8,000 - £15,000 for a gastric bypass.

John Cain, Aysgarth Medical Centre
"Dr Patel is very professional and talked me through the whole process to ensure I was fully aware of the procedure. Continual communication after the procedure to ensure everything was ok. Highly recommend!"
Mandy k, West midlands
"After 15 years of trying to be the shape that would give me a peace of mind i am actually living it today. I had my inner and outer thigh regions done. Without having to constantly change my physical shape by living in a gym, as i did most of my youth, i am now able to keep the body shape that i feel at one with. Of course it includes looking after myself in all aspects of my lifestyle.
Since being with the Surgery Group i have had been able to grow in confidence as at first i thought it would not work on me. I'm glad to have been proven wrong. The folks are great and i was lucky to have a top surgeon (Dr Nurein and his helpful and skilled assistants) to have met my expectations and beyond.Today i feel like a new person always rather than just when i worked out at a gym and changed my physical self. The only thing is once the dream becomes reality you want more!. Totally recommend it for those that have tried everything."
