Have your consultation and gastric band procedure at a Centre of Excellence in South Wales
We believe the gastric band is the best weight loss surgery option for most people we speak to. We’re passionate about the band and helping people turn their weight loss dreams into reality with it. In fact, we have done more bands than any other specialist provider operating in the UK today, with a combined experience of over 15,000 patients.
At St Joseph’s Hospital in Newport we offer free consultations with bariatric specialist surgeon Mr Michael Nutt and those that go ahead with a procedure at St Joseph’s can expect a 5 star service at this accredited Centre of Excellence in South Wales.
Your weight loss with a gastric band will be a little slower than with the sleeve or bypass, and the total weight loss may be a little lower, but this is compensated for by a number of benefits the other two do not offer. Your band procedure is reversible, it can be done as a day case, any complications are generally easier to manage and it’s cheaper.
“I started my journey at 20 st 5lb and I’m now 9stone 13lb and wearing a size 10/12. I couldn’t thank the team at Healthier Weight enough for keeping me going and for the advice they give us, their 24-hour helpline is great too!”
“I’m so much more active now. Food is no longer my main focus. I’m normal. I’m accepted. I’m not judged. If you are thinking about having a band my advice is: Just do it.”*
“The weight dropped off immediately, I lost 3 stones in 2 months*. It then slowed down and I’ve had one or two setbacks along the way but I am keeping off 6½ stones” *
I’ve started running and competing in competitions and raising money for charities. I’ve always wanted to do those things, but before I thought my weight would slow me down.
