Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is one of the fastest growing areas of private medicine in the UK. It is no wonder that prospective patients become confused about which bariatric surgical procedure to opt for and where to go for advice.

NOSC brings together seventeen of the finest hospitals and seventeen of the most skilled and experienced consultant surgeons and consultant gastroenterologists in the country. Each surgeon and each hospital has to meet the criteria set out in our own minimum standards document for bariatric surgery. This ensures you that you will receive the highest level of care, where safety is always the first consideration.

At the National Obesity Surgery Centre we have many years experience in bariatric surgery and long term weight management. We are justly proud of our reputation as the UK’s premier provider of bariatric surgical treatments. As leaders in the field we are at the forefront of innovation and development within the UK.

Our philosophy is simple – our reputation is based on your success. We are not here to ‘sell’ you anything (in fact our advice to some people is that undergoing a weight loss surgical procedure is not in their best interest at all). We take a great deal of care in helping you to make the correct choice of treatment and we offer you an unlimited amount of support before, during and after your bariatric surgery.

If experience has shown us anything over the years, it is that ‘one size does not fit all’. Although each patient comes to us to lose their excess weight, their reasons and motivations will differ considerably. At NOSC you are treated as an individual, not as part of a group and your support and aftercare will centre on your particular needs.

Our Procedures

We have bariatric surgery specialists in all of the key weight loss surgical procedures. At the National Obesity Surgery Centre we offer perhaps the widest range of bariatric surgery procedures of any organisation in the UK. We recognised that patients are all different and very often their needs regards bariatric surgery are different. We will advise on the bariatric surgery that is best for you. It isn’t enough to simply say they all want to lose weight. That kind of thinking is what you will often find with single procedure providers and inevitably that ends in failure for a significant percentage of people. Rather, we take the time to find out more about you, your needs, your past efforts, medical history and individual requirements. So when we suggest a procedure and support programme you can be sure it’s not because it suits us, but because it’s perfect for you. Our Surgeons include specialists in the following bariatric surgery procedures:
