Obesity Surgery NHS

Obesity data collated by NHS shows high demand in many trusts for stomach surgery and gastric bypasses.
Many NHS trusts have seen spending on obesity increase more than seven-fold in just three years.
The data, from the NHS information centre, showed there were 2724 hospital admissions in 2007-08 for bariatric surgery, which includes stomach stapling and gastric bypasses.

Currently obesity surgery services are poorly provided in the UK due to pressures on the NHS but there is some evidence of a gradual increase in activity – albeit too slow in many areas.
You may see an advertisement for an obesity surgery service which you could pursue but you also need to let your GP know that you are doing this – you should not have to go overseas for any private surgery.
