Learn moreHow the right treatment is chosen
There is no single best procedure. A consultation looks at your symptoms and history, any obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes or sleep apnoea, what has already been tried, your general health and fitness for surgery, and your readiness for the follow-up that any treatment requires. Sometimes the honest answer is that surgery is not appropriate — and that is a legitimate outcome of an assessment.
Before your consultation — the BMI calculator on the home page is a useful starting point for weight-related enquiries, and the patient FAQs answer most of what people ask before a first appointment. Neither replaces assessment.
