We are not offering medical advice – we aim to put the severely overweight in contact with healthcare professionals in London and the UK experienced in the surgical treatment of morbid obesity surgery. We do not charge for our service of introduction. The cost of your UK morbid obesity surgery should be discussed with your surgeon / hospital. We share an understanding of the difficulties people face in obtaining morbid obesity surgery. We have established this organisation in London to help the severely overweight obtain such treatment. We are sympathetic to the needs and fears of the severely overweight. We don’t blame people for their weight, but we ask them for complete candour in return. We believe that the surgeon / patient relationship is the best conduit for help. We work with surgeons who advocate each morbid obesity surgery surgeon will only operate on patients that they have assessed and that each surgeon expects to be responsible for the follow up care. The healthcare professionals we work with prefer a letter of introduction from your Doctor, as recommended by the General Medical Council in London, UK. Occasionally this is not possible, and if you explain to the surgeon why, they will usually try to help. Surgery is a major step and you must be quite certain that it is the best way forward for you. At present, surgery has been clearly shown to help with lasting major weight loss in the majority of severely overweight people. This is supported by The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (N.I.C.E.). Some doctors still regard surgery as controversial, but there is broad international agreement that if your BMI is 40 or more or if it is more than 35, but you have already serious consequences of your overweight, you may very well be a good candidate for an operation.
