Your consultations

You’ll meet one of our experienced bariatric surgeons in one of our 11 easily accessible, private consultation rooms. During the consultation, we’ll ask you about your medical history and discuss:

• The options for your surgery
• What the surgery involves
• The anaesthetic and any risks or complications

You’ll have a chance to ask your consultant any questions you may have. Some people find it helps to bring a list of questions with them and make notes as they go along.

If you decide to go ahead with gastric sleeve surgery, you’ll also need to have a pre-operative assessment before your operation.

When you come in for your operation, our staff will show you to your private, en-suite room. You’ll have all the comforts and conveniences you’d expect to find in your own home while you stay with us, including:

• TV
• Window
• Armchair
• Side table

Once you’re settled, here’s what will happen:

• You’ll meet your consultant and surgical team who’ll prepare you for surgery
• Your anaesthetist will give you your general anaesthetic, so you’ll be asleep for your operation
• Once it’s taken effect, your surgeon will make the first incisions and carry out the gastric sleeve surgery to remove part of your stomach

If you’ve come with a friend or family member, they’re welcome to wait in our lounge or restaurant while you have your operation.

Your operation will take one to two hours and you’ll be with us for one to two nights.

While you’re in the hospital, your nursing team will give you pain relief as and when you need it so that you’re comfortable as you recover.

After you leave hospital, we’ll arrange to see you two years after your surgery so we can keep track of your progress and ensure you’re recovering and losing weight as intended.
