Bariatric Surgery
What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a medical specialty that focuses on weight loss surgery and the treatment of obesity-related health conditions. It includes a range of procedures that help you lose weight by restricting how much you can eat, changing how your body absorbs food, or both. Bariatric surgeons use minimally invasive techniques wherever possible to support safe, effective, and long-term results.
At Get Well Soon, you can access expert bariatric consultants quickly for consultations, pre-operative assessments, and surgery—with no unnecessary waiting.
Common reasons for bariatric surgery
You may be considering bariatric surgery if you are struggling to lose weight and keep it off through lifestyle changes alone. Surgery can also help improve or resolve many weight-related health conditions.
You might benefit from bariatric surgery if you:
- Have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher
- Have a BMI over 35 with conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure
- Experience joint pain, breathlessness, or sleep apnoea due to excess weight
- Have tried diet, exercise, and medications without success
- Are committed to making long-term lifestyle changes after surgery
Bariatric surgery isn’t a quick fix—it’s a tool to help you achieve lasting weight loss and improve your overall health.
How is bariatric surgery assessed and planned?
Your bariatric team will carry out a detailed assessment to ensure surgery is safe and suitable for you. This may include:
Initial consultation
• To understand your health history, weight loss goals, and expectations
Blood tests and scans
• To check for underlying conditions, nutritional status, and overall fitness
Psychological and dietetic support
• To help you prepare mentally and emotionally for lifestyle changes
Pre-operative diet plan
• To reduce liver size and make surgery safer and more effective
Your consultant will explain the findings clearly and work with you to choose the right surgical option for your needs.
