Our Weight Loss Surgery Treatments

Spire Healthcare offers the latest obesity surgery procedures to help you lose weight. Weight loss surgery such as gastric banding, also known as lap banding, and gastric bypass can achieve significant, long-term weight loss. Gastric balloon insertion is a temporary treatment that can also lead to weight loss, and is sometimes used in preparation for bypass or banding surgery. Also available are sleeve gastrectomy and duodenal switch operations. All of our procedures aim to help you lose weight and reduce any medical problems you may be experiencing as a result of being very overweight.

When can Bariatric Surgery be offered?

NICE Guidance on obesity (2006) recommends that surgery is considered for people with severe obesity if:

  • They have a BMI of 40kg/m2 or more, or between 35kg/ m2 and 40 kg/m2 and other significant disease (for example type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure) that could be improved if they lost weight
  • All appropriate non-surgical measures have failed to achieve or maintain adequate clinically beneficial weight management for at least six months
  • They are receiving or will receive intensive specialist management
  • They are generally fit for anaesthesia and surgery
  • They commit to the need for long-term follow-up
