By working alongside consultants and hospital departments, we can provide an integrated, seamless approach to patients’ dietary needs as part of their treatment.

• Pre-operative Support: We prepare patients for surgery by assessing their nutritional status and helping them optimise their diet to improve surgical outcomes. This includes advice on reducing any existing nutritional deficiencies, managing weight loss prior to surgery, and understanding the dietary changes that will be necessary after surgery.
• Post-operative Support: After bariatric surgery, our dietitians offer ongoing support to help patients adjust to their new dietary needs. This includes developing a nutrition plan to aid in recovery, manage portion control, ensure proper vitamin and mineral intake, and achieve long-term success with weight loss. Our goal is to guide patients in making informed choices to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent complications following surgery.

If you are paying for yourself, we can usually offer an upfront cost which you can then choose to pay in full or access one of our easy payment options.

If you have insurance, we can arrange direct settlement with your insurance provider, although you should check in advance to see if your treatment is covered. For more information, visit our private medical insurance page.
