Reduces the size of your stomach and redirects the digestive tract.
At Spire Hull and East Riding Hospital, our highly skilled consultants and expert aftercare team offer gastric bypass surgery to help you lose weight if severe obesity is affecting your health.
During a gastric bypass, your surgeon will reduce the size of your stomach and connect it to the lower part of your small intestine, restricting the calories you can eat and absorb.

We provide comprehensive private hospital care for our patients across East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire. You have a choice of bariatric surgeons (consultants specialising in weight loss surgery) who perform gastric bypass surgery to help you lose weight when diet and exercise haven’t worked. Your consultant will work alongside a dietitian and bariatric nurses to ensure you get the right treatment and aftercare.
It's a common operation to have done privately, and our inclusive prices and access to payment plans make it easy and more affordable, even if you don’t have medical insurance.

Consultations
Your first appointment with your consultant will be in one of our 17 consulting rooms. You’ll have a chance to talk about your medical history and the different options for surgery. There’ll be time for any questions you may have and an opportunity to discuss:
Before going ahead with gastric bypass surgery, you’ll meet a dietitian so they can make further assessments on whether surgery is right for you.
You’ll also need to have a pre-operative assessment which may include:
When you come in for your operation, you’ll be with us for around two to three days. You’ll stay in one of our large, bright, private en-suite rooms. All our rooms have the comforts and conveniences you’d expect to find at home, including:
Here’s what will happen on the day of your gastric bypass:
During your stay, you’ll be given painkillers for any discomfort. Your nursing team will make sure you have everything you need at all times.
We’ll have follow-up appointments with you after you leave hospital. These will be regularly for two years after your surgery, so we can check your progress and recovery. You'll have a pre-operative dietitian appointment and then follow-up appointments at four weeks, 12 weeks and one 'floating appointment' for you to use after this time when needed.
