Weight loss FAQs

• How much does weight loss surgery cost?
  • Whether you opt for a gastric band, bypass or sleeve, the cost of your weight loss surgery will vary from person to person. The total cost is inclusive of the surgery itself, your surgeon and anaesthetist fees, medication as well as taking into consideration whether you require a hospital stay and the length of the aftercare package you choose.
• What aftercare do you get with weight loss surgery?
  • As your weight loss surgery package is tailored to your individual needs and requirements, so is your aftercare, therefore the length of your cover will be chosen by you. We are proud to offer up to 6 years of comprehensive aftercare which includes on-going support from our expert dietitian and nursing team who make up your dedicated weight loss support team.
• Do I need weight loss surgery or a cosmetic fat loss procedure?
  • Liposuction and weight loss surgery are two very different procedures. This is because liposuction is a cosmetic procedure which can help to improve the aesthetic appearance of parts of your body where there are stubborn areas of fat that are resistant to diet or exercise, but it does not contribute to overall weight loss. Whereas if you have a high BMI are ready to make a long-term lifestyle change which includes making serious changes to your exercise and diet, then weight loss surgery could be an option for you.
• How long does it take from consultation to surgery?
  • There isn’t a set amount of time between having a consultation and the day of your surgery. This is because all of our consultations are free with no obligation to proceed any further and we encourage all of our customers to take the time to think about whether surgery is definitely right for them. If you did wish to proceed and book your surgery then the waiting time between your consultation and actually having your surgery will vary from person, but on average, this is usually 4-6 weeks, but can will depend on you individually.
