Bariatric surgery is a powerful tool for the right person — but it is a tool, not a shortcut, and it only works alongside lasting changes to eating and activity. We show accredited, high-volume centres and what surgery costs, so you can compare honestly and decide with realistic expectations.

Bariatric surgery is for people who meet recognised criteria — broadly, a high BMI, or a lower BMI with conditions such as type 2 diabetes (with lower thresholds for people of Asian descent). It is not a cosmetic procedure or a quick fix, and it demands lifelong changes to diet and follow-up. A good surgeon will assess whether it is genuinely right for you — and will say so honestly if it isn't. Full criteria are on the treatment page.
Safety and results are best at high-volume centres with a full bariatric team — surgeon, dietitian and follow-up support. We compare these on the same records so you see how they differ.
