Weight Loss Surgery Group: Weight Loss Surgery and Aftercare throughout the UK from clinics in London, Newcastle, Sheffield, Glasgow, Dublin, Leeds, Belfast, Birmingham, Preston and Cardiff

Weight Loss Surgery Group

The Weight Loss Surgery Group (WLS Group) is owned and managed by like minded, passionate individuals who have many years experience working with weight loss surgery patients.

 

They recognise that patients cannot always afford surgery in the UK, therefore, want to offer a more affordable option with an experienced bariatric surgeon in Europe with all of your aftercare in any of our 11 clinics in the UK or Ireland

 

We carry out Gastric Banding, Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy and Revision Surgery  in Brussels at the AZ Sint-Elisabeth Hospital by Dr Marc Focquet

 

The group works hard to provide a "gold standard" patient focused service by giving you the care, knowledge and skills to work with the surgical procedure you have chosen to have and ensure that you feel safe in the hands of their specialist multi-disciplinary team. All aftercare is carried out in the UK and therefore drastically reduces the cost of the full surgery package for UK patients making surgery more accessible.

 

Aftercare treatment is provided through centres in London, Newcastle, Sheffield, Glasgow, Dublin, Leeds, Belfast, Birmingham , Preston, Cardiff and Manchester .

Weight loss treatments in Belgium

 

  • Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Band: The adjustable gastric band (sometimes known as lap banding) is a restrictive procedure. A silicone band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch above the band, about the size of a golf ball and a large pouch below the band. 
  • Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass: There are several variations of a gastric bypass, the most common procedure in the UK is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, also known as RYGB. It is a combination of restrictive and malabsorptive procedures, and therefore has a two way weight reducing effect.
  • Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: The sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure. Two thirds of the stomach are resected and removed, leaving a smaller stomach in the shape of a sleeve.
  • Gastric Balloon : The gastric balloon is a tool that aides weight loss. It stays in the stomach for 6 months and you follow a low calorie diet, attend regular behaviour modification module meetings to work alongside the balloon for 12 months.
  • Revision Surgery: There are several options available to patients who have already had weight loss surgery but are looking for another solution as their original surgery has not been a success, for whatever reason.
