WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY
Weight loss surgery is about more than just losing weight, it can be the start to improving your physical health and mental wellbeing.
Intra-gastric balloon
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.
Weight loss operations
Gastric band
The gastric band is inserted during a 45minute “keyhole” operation, and patients usually go home the same day.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
The sleeve gastrectomy is one of the most popular weight loss operations. It is a 50min “keyhole” operation, and patients usually stay in hospital for one night.
Gastric Bypass
The gastric bypass operations typically provide the greatest amount of weight loss. The operation is performed “keyhole”, and patients usually stay in hospital for one night.
Acid reflux and hiatus hernias
Mr Cockbain is an expert in the management of acid reflux. He often receives referrals from other hospitals to help patients with complex problems, those with very large hiatus hernias, and patients who require a second operation after symptoms have recurred (revisional surgery).
