Bariatric Surgery - Your Guide to our Service
We fully understand at Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals that taking the decision to have surgery, to help with weight loss, is a major decision. In appreciation of this, we have designed this guide to inform you of the different types of surgery available, but also what you can expect on your journey.
To qualify for assessment for surgery you are required to have attended and completed a Specialist Weight Management Service.
