Research has shown that weight-loss surgery can be more effective in the long term than weight-loss drugs or diets
Gastric bypass, gastric balloon or gastric banding procedures may be the solution for you. Our patients tell us that weight-loss surgery gives them the chance to do things they never thought possible. They have renewed zest for life with the energy and enthusiasm to play with their children, play sports or go on a long haul holiday as well as addressing health problems related to their weight such as diabetes and joint problems.
Research has shown that weight-loss surgery can be more effective in the long term than weight-loss drugs or diets. That's why Spire Elland Hospital offers a weight-loss surgery service tailored to you. Your weight-loss surgery will be undertaken by one of our experienced weight loss surgeons in our safe, clean private hospital. Surgery is only part of the solution - we also have a dedicated weight-loss surgery support team including bariatric weight-loss surgery specialist nurses, physiotherapists and dietitians and councillors. After an initial consultation with your surgeon who will discuss the surgery with you in detail, it will be your decision as to whether this is the route you wish to take.
We provide on-going dietary advice and support. Our dietitian, who is experienced in weight-loss surgery, helps patients to make the all-important lifestyle changes needed to get the full benefit from weight-loss surgery. You will receive on-going personal support whilst you follow the strict post-surgery diet and our dietitian will work with you to ensure you are making the right dietary choices and are receiving sufficient nutrients.
We will provide you with advice and support throughout your weight-loss journey - from your first appointment until long after your surgery has been completed. You will have 100% commitment from us and you will need to have the same to achieve your goals. Together we can help you get there.
