My Services

Gastric balloon, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, mini-bypass. Andy is a specialist in weight loss surgery in Leeds

Weight loss surgery is about more than just losing weight, it can be the start to improving your physical health and mental wellbeing. 

GASTRIC BALLOONS

Intra-gastric balloons are a quick, day-case procedure to promote weight loss.

They do not require an operation or a general anaesthetic.

They can be a good choice for patients at lower weights who want to avoid the risks of an operation.

Gallstones and Hernias

Surgery for gallstones and hernias is very common. Mr Cockbain can arrange scans if required, and discuss the different treatment options with you.

HIATUS HERNIA AND ACID-REFLUx

Mr Cockbain is an expert in the management of acid reflux. He often receives referrals from other hospitals to help patients with complex problems.  He offers anti-reflux fundoplication surgery and the LINX procedure.  

ACHALASIA

Achalasia is a rare condition where the oesophageal muscle does not function. This requires specialist investigations and treatment.

STOMACH AND OESOPHAGEAL CANCER

Mr Cockbain is a cancer surgeon and a core member of the Leeds Upper GI cancer team. He will arrange urgent tests for any worrying symptoms, such as weight loss or swallowing difficulties, and guide you through the results and treatment options.
