Weight loss surgery 'support group' meeting
This news item was added on 18th May 2007
Following the success of our first meeting, BMI The Alexandra Hospital has pleasure to announce our second weight loss surgery 'support group' meeting to be held on Wednesday 13 June 2007 at The Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle.
The aim of this meeting is to inform patients, patients considering weight loss surgery and their friends, family and partners, about gastric banding and gastric bypass operations to help combat obesity.
Our guest speakers will include Ken Clare, a registered Nurse who has undergone a gastric bypass himself and is trustee from WLSinfo (Weight Loss Surgery Information and Support) a registered charity, with member numbers of almost four thousand.
The evening will offer the opportunity for patients to meet, discuss and feel confident with The Alexandra Hospitals experienced bariatric surgeons and the high standard of care provided by the UK’s leading private hospital group, BMI Healthcare.
The Alexandra Hospital only works with 'gold standard' Bariatric (Obesity) surgeons who are specialists in upper gut and stomach using laparoscopic (keyhole) techniques. They are experienced at working in the NHS and are members of The British Obesity Surgery Society (BOSS).
And because we see surgery as just part of the process, we offer a comprehensive aftercare programme to help our patients stay healthy and achieve the best results. Our consultants offer personal ongoing care and support from a team of specialists before, during and long after surgery.
