Our Story
We are proud to work with one of the most experienced obesity surgeons in the world. Franco Favretti was not just one of the first surgeons to implant the first Lap-Band, he also defined the surgical technique used for band implantation. This technique is now used by most surgeons throughout the world.
Franco Favretti was also the first person in the world to perform single incision band surgery (SILS) in 2009, by placing the device through the belly button (umbilicus). This is now the “gold standard” in gastric banding as the scarring is significantly reduced.
We invest 100% of our time into weight loss surgeries. We don’t perform bariatric surgery as part of a range of treatments, it is entirely what we do. It’s why we only use GMC registered surgeons who specialise in bariatric surgery. It’s why our medical team are permanent employees, no temp or agency staff. It’s why we work alongside the best people in the industry; to ensure we deliver nothing but the best.
