FAQs
Leeds
All self paying and insured patients and their guests can park free of charge in our underground car park.
Your visitors are welcome throughout the day, however we encourage all patients to rest between 13:30 and 14:30 and would therefore suggest that visits are planned around this quiet time. Your recovery is of paramount importance and you may find that you are very tired following surgery. With this in mind visitors are encouraged to leave by 9pm.
Even if you are a day case patient we recommend you bring the following:
- Nightwear, dressing gown and slippers.
- If you are staying for a few days, you may also like to bring casual clothing to wear towards the end of your recuperation.
- Personal toiletries (although items such as towels will be provided).
- Books or magazines to read during your stay.
- Any medication you are currently taking in the original labelled containers. (Please pass your medication in its original packaging/bottle to your nurse who will make sure that it is safe for you to carry on taking).
Parking details are provided with your booking. If your time is during a busy period, we will list overflow options close to the hospital.
Some procedures involve an overnight stay. Your surgeon will explain the expected length of stay for your operation.
Light activity is often encouraged, but it depends on your health. Your clinician will advise what is safe for you.

Weight Loss
“I have struggled with my weight all of my adult life, I have PCOS and every diet I have tried just wasn’t successful.
I have lost over 10 stone and I feel absolutely incredible. I would never have dreamt to have the life that I currently have now.”
Paul
10 st (64 kg)*
Weight Loss
“Life before surgery was fake, I had a happy face but was not really happy. I wouldn’t go on lads holidays with my friends or take my kids swimming.
I have lost over 10 stone and it’s been life changing. I have got my life back. I can now take my kids swimming, go on holiday, do those things that I should have done 10,15,20 years ago.”
Danni's
5 1/2 stone (35 KG)*
Weight Loss
“Before I had surgery, I’d always yo-yoed with my weight. I was ashamed because of the size I’d gotten to. I was unable to buy the clothes I wanted to wear. I didn’t feel like the person that I wanted to be nor did my reflection match the person I felt inside.
The surgery with Tonic has absolutely changed my life. I’ve lost 5 and a half stone, and I am more confident and outgoing.
Chanelle
9st (57kg)
Weight Loss
“Before weight loss surgery, I couldn’t cope with doing anything strenuous and I couldn’t spend time with my children in the way I wanted to. My eating was out of control, and I had been yo-yoing.
A year out from surgery, I’m a completely different person. Last year, my body fat percentage was in the morbidly obese category. Now, I’m in the healthy weight category.”
Claire
10 st (64 kg)*

“I lost 8.5 stone. I feel like one of the gym girls, I have done a 10k this year and I am signed up to Brighton half marathon next year! I chose Tonic because I saw so many success stories online and because of the aftercare package. You have the dietician, the PT, the psychotherapist and the constant support group from others who have had surgery and the team in the office”
