Find a private obesity surgeon near you, including the top bariatric and weight-loss specialists in the UK.
An obesity, bariatric or weight-loss surgeon is a specialist that helps patients manage and treat obesity and improve their self-image using surgical methods.
Some of the most common surgical methods to help obese patients are reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery). It can alternatively be achieved by liposuction and removal of excess skin and tissue after a successful diet plan.
