It is hard to say and the speed at which you get over your gastric band procedure can vary. Most of our patients who have surgery on a Saturday tell us that they feel able to return to some light work on the following Monday, but this depends on the type of work you do. We encourage all gastric band patients to plan on needing a week after their surgery to recover but we don't expect this to be needed as time away from work. We will advise you, based on your personal situation, at your consultation.

The Healthier Weight Team have given me the life I always wanted. To be happy with myself and the confidence to feel good. And now I can finally look at myself and feel that.

Sam one of the Nurses is fantastic she take her time to listen and gets work done. Keep up the good work

It's a pleasure to give a review. When I considered having gastric surgery I had no idea what options I would have. I saw mr Singhal and he recommended a bypass. Thanks to this wonderful caring gent and his wonderful team I have my life back after 20 years of being obese and having major health problems with heart and kidney and type 1 diabetes. I cannot put into words how great I feel and how grateful I am to you all. I'm loving life the improvement in my health Well !!! It's a joy. 😄❤️

I had my gastric band surgery yesterday and feel a lot better than I thought I would. I do feel very Hungary but trying to keep taking in lots of fluids.

I had gastric sleeve surgery on the 9th June, I am so pleased I really have been looked after by Mr Singal and the team, the care from the start was amazing and I have no regrets. I would definitely recommend Healthier Weight.

I had Mr Rishi Singhal preforming my surgery on the 16th June 2018. I went to spire hospital in Solihull. I had a gastric sleeve done. The surgical team as a whole were absolutely fantastic! Steve the surgeon & also the anaesthetist was amazing & made me feel so calm. Made me laugh as I lay on the operating table actually. 3 weeks before hand I was crying thinking I was going to die, my anxiety was shot but thanks to these guys & the wonderful nurses I couldn’t of get more relaxed. I am grateful I had this team to support me. I did have a side effect to some drugs but that was sorted by the doctor immediately & the nurses never left my side. I will never forget the quality of care given to me. Also healthier weight have been brilliant. Carly Evans especially has been great! The nurses who phone to check up on you were also fab - sally I think the lady’s name was, she was ace! Top quality service & care. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I am 2 weeks post op and finally getting better. Tolerating liquids & looking forward to purée foods then onto soft foods. The weight loss has been immediate which is amazing but be prepared for the mental challenge you still face - the operation won’t fix everything all at the same time & I feel you need to mentally prepare yourself for change.

Hi, I had gastric sleeve one year ago now best thing iv had done , 👍

Fantastic team, fantastic experience. Can whole-heartedly recommend them.

Fantastic team and so supportive. I'm under 4 months out from my gastric sleeve surgery and I've lost over 5 stone; feel like a new woman. HW were so lovely from the first moment I contacted them, no pressure, no hard sell, just simple advice that allowed me to make an educated decision over whether the surgery was for me. I'm so glad I went for it, and appreciate the time and care taken by the HW team.

Excellent service. Only 3 weeks post op so my journey is just beginning.

Excellent from the very beginning and a loss of 3 stone in 3 months :) couldn't be happier!

After two years of thinking about having a band I finally had the procedure with Healthier weight on 30th May, and Dr Alan Li the surgeon in Manchester. I have received fantastic service throughout. No problems with the surgery and the nurses and advisors on the phone have all been very helpful. Lost 3 stone 10 lbs so far and so happy I finally went through with it. Thanks Healthier Weight and Dr Li �

I'm 9days post op (gastric band )but would just like to say how great they are at healthier weight, I felt at ease and was not rushed into making any decisions during my consultation and within a month had the op , and the aftercare is fantastic with regular check up calls from a nurse to make sure I'm coping...all in all I'd definitely recommend :)

I had a sleeve gastrectomy nearly 2 years ago. It was the best decision I ever made! I have lost nearly 12 stone and feel amazing!! However I have had no support whatsoever from Healthier weight! Everything I have achieved has been from the private hospital I used, my own research and my nurses at my GP's. Would I have the sleeve again...Yes ( but it is not a magic cure) Would I use Healthier Weight again....No. Sorry and this is from someone who never complains!

Would not advise anyone to use the company, very poor service that does not live up to there claims

I would AVOID at all cost. I had my band fitted back in january 2012 with healthier weight at the nuffeild in Chandlers Ford, Southampton. I paid over £7000 to be promised I would have the best aftercare to acheive my results and that i could see a proffesional nurse every two weeks for the next two years after my surgery. That was not the case at all! I had to wait 4-6 weeks for an appointment and that was if there was space for me to see someone that day in my local area to have a check up! The best advice to anyone even concidering having a band is to really look at what you are eating and if you are doing the excersise! Its all about controling your diet because the harsh truth is if you can't eat healthy now you wont with a band! Trust me i have been there! The only way you can lose the weight is if you eat healthy! DO NOT get a band its a waste of money and a total money maker for these people! Im actually looking at getting mine removed as its just a pain and an anti body in my body that i don't need anymore, im losing weight by eating right and getting myself down the gym 5 days a week! If anyone has an questions message me im more than willing to chat to you. �

I have found Healthier Weight to be pretty much useless. If they can't get the basics right in terms of responding to emails I dread to think what would happen if you had a serious problem.
