Before your appointment
Discuss nutritional requirements, prior abdominal surgery and the differences from other bariatric operations.
Time, hospital stay & appointments
Times are planning guides, not national averages or guaranteed schedules. They reflect published provider examples and patient guidance. The treating team confirms the individual plan, time needed near the clinic and fitness to travel. Waiting lists are not included.
- Procedure or course duration
- Operation and admission lengths depend on the technique and individual risk.
- Hospital stay
- Plan for inpatient care. The clinical team specifies the expected hospital nights, level of monitoring and any additional stay near the centre.
- Visits and repeat attendance
- Plan for preoperative assessment, one operation attendance or admission, and postoperative review. These are three planning stages, not a guaranteed total of three visits: tests, wound care or staged treatment may add appointments.
- Recovery and travel planning
- Arrange lifelong nutritional supplementation and monitoring as prescribed. Dietetic and clinical follow-up continue beyond the surgical stay.
