Our Weight Loss Clinic draws people from all over Scotland, giving you fast access to outstanding treatments.
We make weight loss procedures as easy and as comfortable as possible, giving you all the support you need to make your treatment a success.
The same consultant you see for your initial consultation at The Kings Park Hospital will also do the surgery at The Ross Hall Hospital.
After your gastric band and/or gastrectomy operations, we’ll make you feel comfortable at The Ross Hall Hospital, where you’ll stay for 1-2 nights in a comfortable en-suite private room before being discharged home. Gastric balloon surgery is done as a day case.
Patients can lose half their excess body weight and more if they have surgery, together with appropriate food choices and exercise.
In any case, your consultant will ask you to lose 1-2 stone (6-10kg) in weight between your initial consultation and the date of your surgery. The weight loss is to make the liver shrink, which is necessary for surgery and demonstrates your commitment to the process.
With a gastric sleeve, some patients can lose up to two stone within two months of the operation.
After weight loss surgery, care includes supporting you for 18 months, making sure you have the multivitamins and nutritional supplements you need, checking your blood levels (every six months), and giving you access to a specialist nurse, dietician, and consultant.
