Understand the procedure

What is weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery)?

Bariatric surgery changes the stomach, and sometimes the route food takes through the intestine, to help treat obesity in suitable patients. Sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass are different operations, with different effects and long-term care needs.

This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Procedure information: NHS: patient information

Understand the proposed plan

What the operation may involve

Choosing the operation

A sleeve reduces the stomach's size. A bypass also reroutes part of the digestive pathway. The recommendation should reflect the patient's health and goals.

Existing health conditions

Diabetes, reflux, nutrition, prior abdominal surgery and earlier weight-management treatment can influence the plan.

Long-term follow-up

Eating changes, nutritional monitoring and supplements may be needed after surgery. The follow-up commitment is part of the decision.

Your decision, your questions

Questions for your chosen doctor

Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.

Your existing case file

Records to organise

We organise the weight history and records of supervised weight-management treatment alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the bariatric surgeon to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.

Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.

Bring together what is available

  • Weight history and records of supervised weight-management treatment
  • Current medicines and diabetes or other relevant specialist records
  • Available nutritional blood tests and endoscopy reports
  • Previous abdominal-operation or bariatric surgery records
  • Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details

When you cannot attend yourself

How Redwood takes your case to your doctor

  1. Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
  2. Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
  3. We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised weight-loss surgery (bariatric surgery) case file to the bariatric surgeon you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.

A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.
