What is the best type of weight loss surgery?

That's a great question and one that we are often asked.

The answers is not as easy as you may think, because everyone is different.  We all have different relationships with food, different social, family and business lives and we all have different medical histories.

What The Private Surgeon will do, however, is make sure that we find the best solution for your needs.

Let's look at some of the things we will discuss:

Relationship with food.  Sounds odd doesn't it?  

What we mean by that is some people snack or graze a lot, some people eat a lot at each setting and others don't eat much until their one big meal of the day.  

There isn't anything badly wrong or right with any of these, although we would recommend spreading your eating throughout the day.  The old saying of breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper is still quite valid.  

Unfortunately, we realise that it's not always easy to do that in today's environment.

Social, family and business lives.  If you are also cooking for your family, then we need to make sure that you can confidently continue to do that after your surgery.  Many people have business lives that also get in the way of losing weight, so we will need to look at those aspects too.

Medical history.  This is very important.  Before anyone considers weight loss surgery we always discuss any existing conditions, such as diabetes, high cholesterol etc so that, again we can find the best solution for you.

The most important thing to remember is that weight loss surgery should not be thought of as 'off the shelf'.  It's absolutely vital that we help you to choose what's the best option for you.

And that's exactly what we do.

We Listen and We Care
