Approaching 50, I was the heaviest I’d ever been, so unhappy and embarrassed. A friend recommended you, and I’ve never looked back. From the first phone call to aftercare, I’ve never felt so looked after. Now, 12 months on and 5.5 stone lighter. I honestly never thought this would happen. Thank you, Phoenix Health!

I feel like a brand-new person. My energy levels have soared, I’m more active than ever, and I feel happy in my own skin. This transformation has been life-changing—not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.

Chelsea - Gastric sleeve review
I’ve gone from hating having my photo taken to a camera roll full of full-length pictures I volunteered to have taken! I wouldn’t be literally half the woman I was without Phoenix. Even 18 months on, I’m still amazed by how different my life looks.

Nicola weight loss surgery review
I was 24 stone 9lbs and constantly in pain. I could barely walk or breathe. Since my mini bypass, I’ve lost over 4 stone, joined a gym, and even enjoy clothes shopping again — something I never thought I’d say. I feel stronger, healthier, and finally in control of my life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read FAQs

What is bariatric surgery? +

Bariatric surgery includes a variety of surgical procedures designed to help people lose weight by making changes to the digestive system. The most common types are gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These weight loss surgeries aid weight loss by restricting food intake, altering nutrient absorption, or a combination of both.

Am I a candidate for bariatric surgery? +

Candidates for bariatric surgery generally have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35 or over 30 with related health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnoea. A thorough evaluation with a healthcare provider is necessary to determine suitability.

What are the benefits of bariatric surgery? +

Bariatric surgery can lead to significant weight loss and help improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea. It can also improve quality of life and longevity.

What are the risks of bariatric surgery? +

As with any major surgery, bariatric surgery has risks, including infection, blood clots, and potential complications related to anaesthesia. There are also procedure-specific risks, such as nutrient deficiencies or digestive issues. Your surgeon will explain the risks and steps to minimise them.

How much weight can I expect to lose after surgery? +

Weight loss varies by procedure and individual factors, but on average, patients can lose 60-75% of excess weight within the first year. Long-term success depends on adherence to lifestyle changes.

Will I need to take vitamins and supplements after surgery? +

Yes, bariatric patients are often prescribed specific vitamins and supplements due to changes in nutrient absorption. Common supplements include a multivitamin, calcium, vitamin B12, and iron. Your healthcare provider will guide you on this. To learn more about the best vitamins to take after bariatric surgery and why they are essential, click here
