The Weight Loss Surgery Clinic was set up by three consultant upper gastrointestinal, endocrine and laparoscopic surgeons working with a specialist support team of surgical and medical weight loss surgery experts to provide a safe, effective and comprehensive weight loss surgical service for people diagnosed with morbid obesity, who have been unable to lose weight by other means.

Weight loss surgery - also known as obesity surgery or bariatric surgery - is the only proven long term solution to morbid obesity.  But it is NOT a quick fix option and has lifelong implications that will affect all areas of your life.  

The Weight Loss Surgery Clinic offers:

• treatment at an established private hospital in Bristol
• extensive follow up providing support, advice and medical care without time limit
• three types of surgery: gastric banding, gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy
• a surgical revision service for patients suffering complications of surgery from elsewhere
• follow-up clinics for patients who have had surgery elsewhere, if appropriate
• a patient support group in Bristol offering pre and post operative support

In addition, the Weight Loss Surgery Clinic is working closely with the Children's Obesity Clinic at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children to provide appropriate surgical treatment of adolescent obesity. We are also actively involved in research on a range of projects relating to morbid obesity surgery. This work is undertaken by a full time clinical research fellow.

The Weight Loss Surgery Clinic accepts both NHS and private referrals. 

The Weight Loss Surgery Clinic is proud to be supporting more than 300 patients to achieve their weight loss and health improvement targets.

We hope our website can help you to decide whether surgery is appropriate for you, to understand the different types of surgery that are available and to discover how weight loss surgery may affect your lifestyle and eating habits in the long term.

Our advice is to take the time to thoroughly research this subject and make sure you have all the information you need before making any decisions.
