What we treat

Four areas,
one team.

Bariatric and metabolic surgery, type-2 diabetes reversal, GLP-1 programmes and long-term post-operative care — surgery and medicine held by one senior team, not split between a theatre and a clinic that never speak. This is the longevity axis of the clinic: the operation is a beginning, and the years that follow are where the result is actually kept.

Bariatric & metabolic surgery

01

Sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass and revision surgery by senior bariatric surgeons — with the metabolic programme, nutrition and long-term follow-up written into the same plan before the operation is ever scheduled.

Comprehensive metabolic programme

02

Senior-consultant case ownership with GLP-1 / GIP therapy where indicated, dietitian and psychology built into the same programme from week one — surgical or not.

APPROACH · SENIOR-LED · GLP-1/GIP WHERE INDICATED

Type-2 diabetes reversal

03

A structured low-calorie programme — alongside surgery where indicated — with the senior endocrinologist calling on a fixed rhythm, not a leaflet handed over at discharge.

Post-bariatric long-term care

04

Long-term nutritional, metabolic and weight-regain care — for our own surgical patients and for those operated elsewhere — measured in years, not weeks.

APPROACH · LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP · YEARS NOT WEEKS
Hold the result and keep movingTREATMENT PAGE

Complex & revision workup

05

Full pre-surgical workup for complex and revision cases — the board reads the whole picture before any decision, so a difficult case is planned, not rushed.

Before you decide

The four sentences we hear most.

If one of these is sitting in your head, read its answer. Then ask us the harder version — a human replies in minutes.

I've tried everything. Why would this work?

Because it isn't willpower with a leaflet. Surgery where indicated, GLP-1 where indicated — and a senior endocrinologist who calls on a fixed rhythm, for years, not twelve weeks.

HELD FOR YEARS, NOT WEEKS

I'm ashamed it has come to surgery.

Obesity is metabolic disease, not a character verdict. Our board treats it the way cardiology treats a heart — with medicine, and without judgement.

TREATED AS MEDICINE

What happens after I fly home?

The follow-up plan — nutrition, bloods, reviews — is written before the operation and runs on protected video calls. Weight regain is managed, not blamed.

FOLLOW-UP WRITTEN FIRST

What does it cost to find out?

Nothing. The board's first review is free, and the programme is quoted as one fixed, written figure — surgery, follow-up and reviews included.

Surgery is one day. The metabolic programme around it — and the years of follow-up after — is the part that holds.

Who owns your case

Metabolic
who owns your case.

The Board

Convenes within 72 hours.

Every international case is read in full by a senior consultant, then presented to the relevant board. The board returns a written, named clinical opinion — sent to the patient and, where requested, to the referring physician.

The Case-Manager

Owns the duration of care.

One named case-manager, medically trained — not a logistical coordinator — holds the case across institutes for the entire pathway. The connective tissue between Neuro, Ortho, Physio and Metabolic for as long as the relationship lasts.

Rarely one institute

Bariatric surgery is never a standalone operation — endocrinology, nutrition and years of follow-up surround every case.

Metabolic

One message.
A named opinion in 72h.

Send what you have — scans, letters, or just the story so far. A senior consultant first-reads within 24 hours; the board answers in writing within 72 hours of your records being complete — free, before you commit to anything.
