The procedure itself takes 1.5–2 hours under a general anaesthetic using (key-hole) laparoscopic surgery and most patients spend two nights in hospital.
During the procedure the surgeon will bypass some of the stomach and small intestine by stapling the stomach leaving a smaller pouch. This means that smaller amounts of food can be consumed and you will feel fuller quicker.
The procedure is recommended for people with a body mass index of 35 or over and most patients experience a weight loss of 30-35% of total body weight. The type of weight loss you can expect and any risks will be discussed with you by your dedicated bariatric surgeon.
Most patients stay in hospital for 2 nights following their procedure.
All your aftercare is fully inclusive and follow up appointments will be made to suit you. The care you receive at these appointments is crucial to the success of the procedure and our aftercare package is second to none.
