Healthier Weight

14 days after band removal surgery wound started leaking due to haematoma which is a risk mentioned when being consented. Nursing team were very good at explaining what was going on but the company Healthier weight offer no practical help to wound care management, they just pass you back to the NHS to sort it which is wrong on so many levels. If there is a risk they should have the staff and care needs in place to manage these issues as it was caused by the intervention they provided.

STAY AWAY! I had a band fitted last year, I have never been able to tolerate having any fluid in the band because iv been left in pain, nauseous, sick all the time and choking on food with it getting stuck in my throat. The after care is non existing iv been told the band needs removing at a heafty cost even though I'm still paying for the original fitting of the band. Dr Singal spoke down to me, made out it was all in my head and I'm imagining it. To top it off they made a massive GDPR breach and sent a letter containg all my medical back ground, personal details and other sensitive information to the WRONG ADDRESS! Please do not use this company take your time and money, where they offer care and look after you after your surgery.

A company that is very good pre-op, however post-op, don't follow up or support their patients enough. I feel quite let down after the money spent with them. Their answer is to use the app, but absolute minimal support is sort offered by random telephone calls. My own GP was more support.

I couldn’t recommend Healthier Weight more!! The care I received was phenomenal from the patient care coordinator to the nutritionist to the surgeon to the nurses checking up on me after. I’m 9 months post op and they still check in to make sure everything is going well. They’ve helped change my life and I couldn’t be happier Thank you ❤️

Great experience with Healthier Weight from the start. I had my surgery (Gastric sleeve) on the 18th January 2024 and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. From submitting my initial enquiry form, everything has been first class service. Professor Rishi Singal was my surgeon, who is just an amazing man and his team at Burcot Hall were all very caring and looked after me very well. I’ve had a great recovery with no complications of any description and I put that down to the skill and care of everyone involved at Healthier Weight. The post op calls from the bariatric nurses have been on time and very encouraging to keep me on the right track & to keep up the hard work. Having this type of surgery is not a magic wand and not an easy option to weight loss, but it is a powerful tool to help me achieve my weight loss goals and this leads to great health benefits. In 3 months I no longer have to take diabetic medication, my cholesterol levels are down within the normal range, my BMI is down from 40 to 30 and I have lost just over 3 stone. I have a way to go to get to my goal but I know I will get there with the support of the Healthier Weight Community. I am very happy that I chose Healthier Weight and have no complaints whatsoever. Thank you everyone at Healthier Weight, you’ve given me a happier, brighter future.

Karolina is my go to person and she is absolutely amazing, helping me understand how to maintain, after a lifetime of struggling to lose weight, getting there in the end with fantastic support from Karolina at Healthier Weight ;))))

Biggest mistake of my life, done the band in 2014, made me so ill had yo empty the band in 2016. They refused to give me a discount om the revision surgery, they didn't care that it was an emergency I was nauseous and vomiting all the time, told me to go A&E and they'll sort it out. Dr Ashton ruined my life, I only wanted the gastric balloon and he told me to go for the band, sleeve would have been better. I didn't lose weight with this, the band eroded into my esophagus and nearly killed me.
