We are a group of weight loss surgeons who have grouped together with two aims:
There are certain important things that are common among all 6 of us.
Top of that list is that we are all weight loss surgeons both in our NHS and private practices. This is not the case for all surgeons who do weight loss surgery. It is important because it means we see more complex patients (usually in the NHS), spend more time doing weight loss surgery and we probably do more procedures. We are also able to comment on both the private and NHS processes from personal experience. Other things that bring us together as surgeons are:
We all do band, sleeve and bypass surgery in our private practices
We all do Roux en Y as well as Mini gastric bypass
We have published extensively on weight loss surgery
We are all on the GMC specialist register for weight loss surgery
