What we do

One bariatric team, from assessment to year two

Pick the route you have been reading about. Your surgeon confirms which operation suits your BMI, history and conditions at consultation, and every route to a price ends in one personalised all-inclusive quote.

Primary

Gastric Sleeve

Around four fifths of the stomach is removed laparoscopically, reducing both capacity and the hormones that drive hunger. The most commonly performed bariatric operation.

Op time
1–2 h
Stay
3–4 days
Back to work
~2–3 weeks

Also managed by the department: pre-operative endoscopy and imaging, dietitian and psychology assessment, and vitamin and metabolic monitoring after surgery.

Recovery

What the weeks after actually look like

The department's own published timeline. Your surgeon confirms the schedule for your procedure.

  1. DAY 1–4

    Hospital recovery

    Mobilising the same day, a leak test before you eat, and liquids only under supervision.

  2. WEEK 1–4

    Liquid to soft diet

    A staged diet set by your dietitian — liquids, then purée, then soft food.

  3. MONTH 2–6

    Fastest change

    Solid food returns, energy improves, and monthly dietitian check-ins continue.

  4. MONTH 12–24

    Stabilising

    Weight settles; vitamin levels and metabolic markers are monitored long term.

Free assessment

Why BHT CLINIC

A hospital, not an office

Metabolic follow-up, not just surgery

Dietitian, vitamin and blood-marker monitoring after you fly home — the part that decides whether the weight stays off.

Board-certified bariatric surgeons

Surgeons who do this every week, working laparoscopically with current stapling and sealing technology.

Intensive care on site

A JCI-accredited hospital with theatres, imaging and an ICU in the same building — not a referral away.

Assessed, not just booked

Endoscopy, bloods and a dietitian and psychology assessment before any operation is confirmed.

Discover BHT CLINIC

Patient voices

In their own words

Flew in from the UK and left praising the doctor, nurses, coordinators and translators — and the sanitation standards in particular.
Mousa, United Kingdom · BHT CLINIC patient
What stayed with me was the customer service — and my coordinator, whose patience and kindness I made a point of thanking by name.
Habibullah, United Kingdom · BHT CLINIC patient
First-class care and attention, amazing staff, and everything went without a single issue from start to finish.

Frequently asked questions

Eligibility is usually assessed on BMI together with any weight-related conditions such as type-2 diabetes, sleep apnoea or hypertension. Your surgeon decides after reviewing your measurements, history and pre-operative tests — send your height, weight and conditions and we will tell you what your options look like.

By your history rather than preference. Reflux, type-2 diabetes, previous surgery and eating pattern all push the decision one way or the other. Your surgeon explains the reasoning before anything is booked.

We do not publish a figure, because it depends on your starting point, your operation and how closely the diet and follow-up plan is kept. Your surgeon and dietitian give you a realistic range for your own case at consultation.

A staged plan set by your dietitian: liquids for the first weeks, then purée, then soft food, then solids. You get the full schedule in writing before you fly, and your dietitian adjusts it as you progress.

Most patients plan for around 6–8 nights so we can complete pre-op tests, surgery, 3–4 nights in hospital and the first post-op review before you fly. Balloon and botox patients need far less.

It depends on the operation and what is right for your case, so we give you one clear all-inclusive quote — usually within 24 hours of your enquiry — with no obligation. Send your details to get yours.
