Weight Loss Surgery

Ramsay understand how important the decision making is when you are considering weight loss surgery.

We are committed to helping you on every step of your weight loss surgery journey with information, care and that special attention that makes all the difference.

Some of our team members have lived the weight loss surgery journey themselves, so we know a little more about the reality of life after bariatric surgery. Weight loss surgery is the first part of a long process and aftercare is the key to your success. Support is ultimately the one part of your journey that truly does make a real difference to your end goal.

When creating the Ramsay Weight Loss aftercare programme, we listened to patient feedback and developed a programme guided by our patients. Our programme will ensure you learn about and have the chance to get used to the changes in lifestyle and eating habits you will need to make to get the most out of your surgery.
