We are a team of nurses, dieticians and surgeons with extensive experience of the management of obesity and its problems.
Are you one of the many people who have tried time and time again to lose weight? No matter what diet, exercise program, slimming club or medication you try, eventually weight loss stops and is followed inevitably by re-gain of the lost weight, often with a bonus.
The struggle gets harder and more dispiriting as the years go by. If you identify with this situation and if the struggle with your weight is becoming an ever more depressing battle, should you consider surgical help?
Surgery may sound a drastic solution, but for many people may be the only way that sustained weight control can be achieved. Surgery is changing. Keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery has helped enormously, and newer techniques are now being introduced that don’t even require incisions.
If you have tried everything else and nothing works, surgery might be the only answer. If it is, it might be better to consider surgery sooner rather than later and certainly before complications of obesity such as diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis etc become established. Many clinics and companies provide surgical options for the treatment of obesity, but at the Obesity Surgeons Group we have a wide range of treatment options available so we can discuss the different procedures with you to make sure that you select the most suitable.
The Obesity Surgeons Group is run by specialised surgeons and other healthcare professionals to enable you to receive expert advice, and the highest standard of treatment in a dedicated fully equipped hospital that has a national reputation for obesity surgery.
We are a highly experienced team who understand the battle you are having with your weight. You will always have direct access to the surgeons so we can transform this understanding into a considered plan to help you win the battle, through the most appropriate solution for your particular circumstances.
When you are considering surgery as a method of weight loss, there are so many important questions to ask yourself and the surgeons. You need to be sure that who you choose gives the best and safest outcome with the best chance of getting your weight under control for the long term, your life back on track and your body back to health and wellness.
We believe that we can offer the best value for money without compromising the level and quality of the support you will receive.
Obesity surgery is a rational treatment for those who have come to accept the fact that, try as they may, they are losing the battle with weight. Don’t leave it too late – prevention is better than the cure.
So who do you choose and how do you decide?
You may be able to get obesity operations at a local hospitals, but the safety of the operation depends very much upon the quality expertise and experience as well as the equipment, the support services and the number of obesity operations are carried out in the hospital.
All our consultations, procedures and aftercare are at the Nuffield Hospital in Leeds and with very good reason:
- The Leeds Nuffield Hospital is probably the country’s foremost and best equipped centre specialising in weight loss surgery and offers all the support services that are vital for safety. There is little doubt that it is safer to have this type of surgery in a specialist facility with all the equipment and expertise to detect and manage the unexpected. The Leeds Nuffield Hospital is probably the best-equipped hospital in the country for obesity surgery. Because of our links with industry we often have equipment that is unavailable elsewhere.
- This life-changing step isn’t just about undergoing the procedure. Obesity surgery will need your commitment to succeed, and it will need a high level of expertise and support to achieve the very best outcome. So choose wisely, it is not about getting the cheapest options. The surgery is just the start of your journey back to a healthy weight and the Obesity Surgeons Group will be with you all the way.
