Obesity Surgery
Weight-Loss surgery is becoming more and more popular amidst the obesity epidemic that is spreading in today’s society. At Why Go Abroad we have hundreds of enquiries each month from people who are desperate to lose weight in order to improve their general health and quality of life. A lot of obese people try fad diets and join weight-loss clubs but just cannot succeed in sustaining the weight loss and achieving their goal weight.
Weight-Loss surgery is often a last resort for overweight people who need extra help. Surgery is a tool to help you manage your appetite and food intake in order to achieve gradual and sustained weight loss and today's procedures provide outstanding weight loss results.
Why Go Abroad offers the following obesity surgery procedures:
These procedures are designed to give patients the kick start they need to adopt a healthier lifestyle and eventually prolong their life expectancy. They each carry with them their own advantages and are suited to patients with different levels of obesity. When a patient first enquires with Why Go Abroad we ask them for their height and weight so we can work out their Body Mass Index (BMI) – their BMI will then help us decipher which procedure is most suitable to them.
Something which patients sometimes get confused about is thinking of weight loss surgery as a quick fix, but it is not as simple as that. The patient is required to work with their band, bypass or balloon to ensure they are making the most of it. We describe it as a tool that helps you, but it also requires man-power behind it to make it work. All of our obesity procedures include dietary advice by fully qualified dietitians and nutritionalists so you are not alone in your weight-loss journey.
Many of our patient care co-ordinators have had a weight-loss procedure so you can see with your very own eyes that these procedures DO work. Many celebrities have also turned to surgery as a last attempt to help them lose weight. These include Sharon Osborne and Fern Britton.
The first stage of your weight-loss journey is booking a consultation with a patient care co-ordinator and bariatric surgeon; they will discuss each procedure in detail and answer any questions you may have. All of our bariatric surgeons have carried out thousands of procedures to date and are fully qualified within the field so you can be assured you are in safe surgical hands.
