Before Surgery

Medical assessment

The first step towards weight loss surgery will require a medical assessment which is performed by a medical doctor who will make a record of your full medical history, and perform a number of tests, such as:

  • Blood and urine analysis
  • Chest X-Ray
  • Barium swallow
  • ECG
  • Gallbladder Ultrasound

An anaesthetic consultation will be arranged prior to surgery. Other specialist consultations and investigations may be required for some patients.

You can fill in the questionnaire in our waiting room when you arrive for your first visit.
