Support continues for a further three years through dedicated telephone aftercare alongside ongoing surgeon follow-up, ensuring patients always have access to experienced professionals whenever advice or reassurance is needed.
This long-term commitment reflects our belief that sustainable weight loss is achieved through continued partnership and support rather than surgery alone.
