Weight loss and bariatric surgery Sheffield

Losing weight can help us become more confident about the way we look. But weight loss is more than just how we look, and also about how we feel. Maintaining a healthy weight can help improve our general health.

Being overweight or obese can have a serious impact on both your physical and mental wellbeing, and put you at increased risk for serious health conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

We offer various weight loss treatments. These include operations to:

• reduce the size of your stomach through surgery
• or you can swallow tiny balloons that inflate to make you feel full after a small meal

You’ll receive a full assessment beforehand and our world-class consultants will help you decide which treatment is best for you. Our physiotherapists can give you an exercise plan and our dietitians and nutritionists will encourage you to follow a healthy diet, as well as help you to develop practical skills for long-term weight management.

Surgery is just the first-step in achieving successful long-term weight loss and improving your health, which is why our comprehensive weight loss service combines surgery with care and support from a multidisciplinary team of experts to help you make lifelong changes.
