Bandboozled - The Weight Loss Surgery Experts

The UK's trusted weight loss surgery hub

Losing weight can be one of the most difficult things to do and that constant yo – yo dieting can be soul destroying – weeks, months or even years of following different diets only to re – gain the weight as soon as you revert back to your old eating habits. And let’s face it, not many of the fad diets out there are sustainable in the long term.

Sometimes you just want a more permanent solution and weight loss surgery is an option to provide this. This could be the first step to managing your weight long term and changing your life for the better. The surgery coupled with a healthy lifestyle can often produce life changing results and the aftercare at The Hospital Group can really help with that  - access to a team of specialist nurses and dietitians who are experts in weight loss surgery can really support you on your weight loss journey and help you get the results you desire.

As part of your aftercare following any weight loss surgery with The Hospital Group, you will receive a year's free membership to BandBoozled – an online support and information hub that can really help you get the best results from your surgery.

 It’s easy to become completely bamboozled by all the information out there about weight loss surgery and you can spend hours trawling through the internet trying to find information to help. Even then, you don’t really know if it has been written by experts in that field so it’s difficult to know what to trust. That’s what you will find at BandBoozled – a reputable website packed full on recipes, meal plans, specialist information all written by our experts with over 25 years’ experience in the weight loss surgery industry. After your surgery it is the aftercare that really makes all the difference in a successful weight loss journey and the advice and support you will receive with BandBoozled is invaluable.

"The expert support and advice you have access to at BandBoozled is provided by The Hospital Group's own dietitian Sue Norton and Nurse Nicola Harris."

We offer a friendly forum where you can ask questions and be reassured that the advice you get back is from qualified professionals. You can also chat to other members who have had the same surgery as yourself and understand exactly what you are going through.
