Weight Loss surgery (Weight Management)
Specialist surgeons, dieticians, counsellors and support
team.
Transform’s weight management programme has
been specifically designed for people who are clinically obese.
This applies to 20% of the UK population who have a Body Mass Index
of over 30. (You can check your BMI on the NHS direct website
calculator by clicking

Our specialists understand how daunting weight
loss can seem and will be there to support you every step of the
way. Our programme combines weight loss procedures (including
Laparoscopic Gastric Band (Lapband)
surgery and Endoscopic Intragastric
Balloon - BIB) with ongoing support. So you’ll have a clear
diet plan following surgery as well as specialist support from
dieticians and counsellors.
If you feel Transform’s weight management
programme may be of benefit to you, arrange your free consultation.
Our specialist team can answer any questions, leaving you with all
the information you need to decide whether to go ahead. You
can find out more about Laparoscopic Gastric Band surgery and
Endoscopic Intragastric Balloon surgery below.
Having helped so many people to address their weight problems we
are aware that it can seem almost impossible to overcome a
substantial weight problem. However, with Body Plan from Transform
we can help you to climb this mountain restoring the real you in
order to reduce your weight quickly and safely so that you can move
on and continue to enjoy and happier, healthier and more fulfilling
life.
Endoscopic Intragastric Ballon (BIB)
The BIB is a soft, silicone balloon that is inserted into the
stomach and filled with sterile saline. With the balloon you will
have a feeling of satiety, or lack of hunger. The balloon will be
removed after 6 months. With the help of the BIB, you can more
easily adopt the lifestyle changes needed to lose weight.
Laparoscopic Band Surgery
A Laparoscopic band involves the placement of a band that
creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach. This pouch fills
with food quickly and the passage of food from the top to the
bottom of the stomach is slowed. As the upper part of the stomach
believes it is ‘full’, the message to the brain is that the stomach
is full and this sensation helps the person to eat smaller portions
and lose weight over time.
