Weight Loss Surgery Glasgow

Aspire Weight Loss is Scotland’s specialist clinic for weight loss surgery. Our team of experts offer a range of surgical and non-surgical procedures that can help you lose weight and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.

What procedures do you offer?

The three procedures we offer are:

Gastric Balloon
Gastric Band
Gastric Sleeve

Life after surgery?

For the majority for patients life after weight loss can be liberating. As you lose weight you will begin to find a greater sense of well-being and improved quality of life. You will also find yourself capable of more physical activity than before. Additional benefits may include the reduction of obesity related illnesses such a heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.

How long will it take to recover?

Recovery times differ from patient to patient but generally speaking if you have had gastric band fitted recovery time is about a week. If a gastric sleeve is performed then recovery time can be between two to three weeks.

How much weight can I expect to lose?

The good news is that surgical treatments are clinically proven to work. The majority of patients who get a gastric band or balloon fitted can lose approximately half of their excess weight. For patients who get a gastric sleeve the excess weight loss can be even more.

Will I qualify for surgery?

To qualify for weight loss surgery you need to be over 18 years of age and have a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35.

Who will perform my surgery?

Your pre-assessment and aftercare team comprise dieticians and specialist Bariatric nurses based in our Glasgow clinic. Your surgery will be performed by either Mr. Hasan Kasem or Mr. Chris Shearer —both of whom are nationally recognised expert surgeons in the field of bariatric surgery.

Frequently asked questions

How Will My Life Change after Surgery?

Lifetime follow-up is recommended, with at least three follow-up visits during the first year. Adjustable gastric banding requires more frequent visits for band adjustments. You will need to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a new nutrition plan and regular exercise, although exercise restrictions may be in place until you are healed. Because of the decrease in food intake, constipation may occur. A laxative may be recommended. You may want to consider or may require reconstructive operations after your weight stabilizes.

Medications can be prescribed as needed. However, your doctor may tell you to avoid aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, which can irritate the stomach.

How Will My Diet Change?

Immediately following adjustable gastric banding, only sips of water are allowed. Over the next two weeks, the consumption amount is increased gradually with fluids in the form of water and liquids, such as clear broth, skimmed milk, low-calorie juice and sugar-free ice lollies. You will need to watch how many calories you eat and limit your liquid intake to avoid nausea and vomiting. Low-fat pureed foods, protein-rich chicken and fish, mashed potatoes and peas are started three to four weeks after the operation.

Patients who undergo more invasive procedures follow a similar dietary progression for 12 weeks and then they are allowed regular, healthy foods.

Once healed, care must be taken to let your stomach adapt to its new environment. Vitamin supplements may be necessary

How Long Will It Take for Me to Recover?

That depends on the procedure. Patients, who undergo laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding or sleeve gastrectomy surgery tend to stay in the hospital for typically one night.

Recovery times differ too. In one study, patients returned to normal activity in about one week after laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding and between two to three weeks after a sleeve gastrectomy.
