Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery is currently the most efficacious treatment
for morbid obesity and has arguably the best long term
outcomes. Our bariatric surgery arm complements our weight
reduction-lifestyle and weight reduction-pharmacotherapy
clinics.
Our surgeons are: Mr Ahmed and Mr Bonanomi. Mr Ahmed is Lead surgeon,
Department of Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery at Imperial College
Healthcare NHS Trust and Mr Bonanomi is the principal
Bariatric Suregon at Chelsea and Westminster NHS Foundation
Hospital.
They will provide you with a friendly and honest opinion
regarding your suitability for surgery, putting your safety and
wellbeing as the first priority. They pay particular attention
to pre- and post-operative care to optimise the outcome of your
operation and provide you with a smooth recovery after
surgery.
Our Surgeons have a 99%-plus success rate in achieving a
complete laparoscopic result without converting to open
surgery.
We offer gastric
bypass, gastric
banding, sleeve
gastrectomy, BPD-duodenal
switch and revisional surgery. Our current duration of hospital
stay rates are same-day or overnight stay for gastric band,
and two nights for gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomies.
All our services are co-ordinated by
our nurse specialist co-ordinator.
