Weight loss surgery is one of the fastest growing areas of private medicine in the UK. It is no wonder that prospective patients become confused about which procedure to opt for and where to go for advice. NOSC brings together seventeen of the finest hospitals and seventeen of the most skilled and experienced consultant surgeons and consultant gastroenterologists in the country.
NOSC brings together seventeen of the finest hospitals and seventeen of the most skilled and experienced consultant surgeons and consultant gastroenterologists in the country. Each surgeon and each hospital has to meet the criteria set out in our own minimum standards document. This ensures you that you will receive the highest level of care, where safety is always the first consideration.
At the National Obesity Surgery Centre we offer perhaps the widest range of bariatric procedures of any organisation in the UK. We do this not because we simply can, but because a long time ago we recognised that patients are different and very often their needs are different. It is not enough to simply say they all want to lose weight.
Here at the National Obesity Surgery Centre it's about so much more than simply the number of bariatric procedures we undertake, or even the wide range of different procedures we can offer. For the patients, being number one is about the unique understanding we bring to a condition that can leave so many people feeling lost in a world of options.
The NOSC offer surgery across the UK, ensuring that every single potential patient is never more than a few hours from a National Obesity Surgery Centre clinic. From Scotland to Northern Ireland and in all the major conurbations of mainland Britain, we have a centre of excellence, staffed by leading healthcare professionals and the best surgeons, ready to help you right now.

As you know, you have changed my life. I had a great surgeon, he’s quite a big deal as I found out! Aftercare you have to meet the team halfway and make an effort, they can’t make the effort for you. In particular Debbie G has changed the way I live my life and her advice means I’ve got my old self back. She’s supported me every step and taught me so much. Another Debbie has taken me through some great workshops. Also thanks to Chris, she took my initial enquiry and when I wobbled and cancelled she was very patient but also gave me a few things to think about. I’m so happy I rebooked

I made an enquiry about weight loss procedures with NOSC. I found the Patient Advisors team very knowledgeable and provided information on all the procedures available but ultimately I was told it was my decision.
I had spoken to other Clinics who seemed to be more interested in selling than listening to my concerns. The Patient Advisors at NOSC are good listeners and did not try to push me into making a decision.
I looked at the testimonials/patient stories and in particular liked the one written by “Mick”. I was offered the opportunity to talk to a patient that had a Gastric Sleeve 12 months

BE AWARE OF CHARGES IF THE BALLOON CANNOT BE FITTED!!!!!
My son and I drove up to Brentwood, 3.5 hour drive, to get a Gastric Balloon fitted, I was taken in to the endoscopy suite, sedated and was then woken up to the news that i could not have the Gastric Balloon fitted due to them finding a hiatus hernia which i have never new i had and I have never had any symptoms for. I understood there would be some charges for the appointment and admin fee's as stated in their terms and conditions, on my journey back from the hospital when I was upset and disappointed that i was unable to get the procedure
