Neil Wheelhouse
I had a call with Lorraine R to discuss the different surgery options for weight loss. She was so friendly, non-judgemental and gave me all the information I needed. I was able to make a decision on the best option for me and my surgery is booked for March! She was quick at responding and booking all necessary appointments. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Really happy with my service so far!
Emma Davie
To my surprise I found my surgery emotionally challenging. I can’t express how much Tracy in the aftercare team saved me! She was like having my mother on the end of the phone. Validating, normalising and offering reassurance with every new anxiety I kept presenting. Such an essential part of the service that I had not expected to need but valued so highly . Thank you Tracy!
Claire Savage

I had a dietitian appointment with… I had a dietitian appointment with Tilly Green prior to my Gastric Bypass. She was really good at letting me know what steps I needed to take to make sure my weight loss journey goes smoothly.
Graham Hill
Well, what can I say. Transforming is indeed the ideal name for the gastric sleeve procedure I underwent just 5 weeks ago. Fast, efficient, and for me personally pain free. From starting the liver shrinkage diet 6 weeks ago, i am 38lbs lighter and feeling great. Receiving regular dietary advice and now well on the way to eating solid foods. I have found the whole process made easy, not least the initial advice and constant updates from my coordinator Jodie Rogers. Even now checking on me and my progress. Best thing I ever did was to talk to and listen to Jodie. Would recommend Transforming Lives to anybody if asked

Dedicated Team of Specialists

Meet the esteemed leaders in weight loss and bariatric surgery. Our surgeons bring a wealth of expertise in surgical weight loss procedures, ensuring advanced, safe, and effective treatments tailored to your needs.

Understanding Your Weight Loss Journey

Choosing weight loss surgery is a powerful step toward better health. At Transform, we want to help you understand the process and what to expect. We’ve explained each stage of the journey to give you a clear idea, but remember, your experience will be personalised to fit your needs.
YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT

The initial step is to speak with a member of our clinical support team over the phone. During this call, you can discuss your reasons for considering treatment, likely costs and available finance options, the recovery period, and when you may wish to proceed.

If you feel ready to move forward, we will arrange your consultation with one of our specialist clinicians to assess your suitability and discuss the most appropriate treatment options for you.

Your First Appointment

At your free consultation, you’ll speak with a specialist weight loss practitioner, such as a nurse or dietitian, to discuss your goals and explore suitable treatment options. You’ll have the opportunity to review potential benefits and risks, with no obligation to proceed.

The consultation can take place via video call or at your local clinic. If you choose to move forward, you’ll meet with a consultant clinician to confirm your suitability and complete any necessary pre-treatment assessments.

Free Consultation

On the day of your procedure, you’ll meet your clinical team to review consent and ask any final questions before treatment begins. The procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic and typically takes 1–2 hours.

It is performed using minimally invasive techniques, and you will be closely monitored throughout. After treatment, you’ll be supported by our team as you begin your recovery.

surgery day

Following your procedure, you will usually stay overnight and return home the next day. Our clinical team will monitor you closely and provide appropriate pain relief and support during your recovery.

You’ll receive guidance on hydration, nutrition, and caring for yourself at home before discharge. As the procedure is carried out under general anaesthetic, you’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you initially.

A follow-up appointment will be arranged, and you’ll have access to our clinical support team should you need advice during your recovery.

Recovery

We believe high-quality aftercare is essential to your recovery and long-term success. Our team will provide clear guidance to help you heal safely, including advice on activity levels and when to resume normal routines.

Treatment is just the beginning of your journey. We offer structured aftercare programmes designed to support your ongoing progress, with continued clinical guidance and follow-up care tailored to your needs.

FAQs

How much does weight loss surgery cost?
The cost of weight loss surgery can vary, so we advise booking in for your free consultation with your surgeon assistant to talk about costs. We offer flexible payment plans that are tailored to your individual needs and help you to spread the cost of gastric band surgery if required.

Gastric band surgery is a surgical procedure during which a silicone band is fitted around the top part of the stomach to help reduce hunger and appetite, and therefore your food intake, which eventually leads to long term weight loss. The procedure is for people who are classed as obese.

Gastric bypass surgery is designed to make the stomach smaller and bypass part of the intestine, which results in alterations in levels of gut hormones and significantly reduces appetite. You may want to consider a gastric bypass when diet and exercise has proved unsuccessful and you’re still overweight. A gastric bypass is non-reversable.

Gastric sleeve surgery removes a portion of the stomach permanently, creating a sleeve or tube-like shape. The stomach is made smaller, meaning your portion sizes will be reduced and you’ll have a lower calorie intake to aid weight loss. A gastric sleeve is non-reversible.

You’ll usually need to stay in hospital for one night following your gastric band surgery, and it may take around 1-2 weeks to return to your regular activities. Any pain you might have after the operation will be treated with pain relief medication. and it’ll be important to take it easy in the first few weeks.
