Choosing weight loss surgery is not about finding the first procedure available. It is about finding the right treatment, the right surgeon and the right support to help you achieve long-term success.At Tonic Weight Loss Surgery, our Luton location is built around personalised care. Every patient arrives with a different medical history, different weight loss experiences and different reasons for exploring surgery. Rather than following a standard pathway, we begin by understanding you as an individual before recommending the most appropriate treatment for your health, lifestyle and long-term goals.
Patients attend our Luton clinics from across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, North London and surrounding areas because they are looking for specialist bariatric expertise delivered within trusted hospital environments.
Depending on your treatment plan, consultations and surgery take place at The Cobham Clinic or Luton & Dunstable Hospital, providing patients with access to modern facilities, experienced healthcare professionals and high standards of clinical care throughout their journey.
Many people contact us after years of trying different diets, exercise programmes and weight loss methods without achieving the lasting results they hoped for. Others are living with obesity-related health conditions and want to understand whether weight loss surgery could help improve their future health and quality of life.
Whatever brings you to our Luton clinic, our priority is to provide honest advice and clinically led recommendations that help you move forward with confidence. Weight loss surgery is never presented as a quick solution. Instead, it is a carefully planned treatment designed to support sustainable weight loss alongside long-term lifestyle change, ongoing education and professional aftercare.

Mr Alan Askari
Mr Alan Askari performs gastric sleeve surgery, gastric bypass surgery, mini gastric bypass surgery and revision weight loss surgery for patients attending our Luton service.
Every consultation focuses on understanding the patient’s health, previous experiences with weight management and long-term aspirations before discussing the procedures available. By taking a personalised approach to treatment planning, Mr Askari helps patients understand which option is most appropriate for their individual circumstances while ensuring they feel fully informed before making any decisions.

Two Specialist Treatment Locations
Patients receiving treatment through our Luton service may attend The Cobham Clinic or Luton & Dunstable Hospital, depending on the treatment recommended during their consultation.
Both locations form part of Tonic’s specialist weight loss surgery network, providing patients with access to experienced bariatric care within trusted healthcare environments.
Whether your treatment takes place at The Cobham Clinic or Luton & Dunstable Hospital, you will receive the same personalised treatment planning, specialist surgical care and comprehensive 5-year aftercare programme that underpin every Tonic Weight Loss Surgery journey.
Five Years of Dedicated Aftercare
Weight loss surgery is only one part of achieving lasting success.
Choosing weight loss surgery is only the beginning of the journey. The support patients receive afterwards often plays the biggest role in helping them achieve lasting success. At Tonic, our structured 5-year aftercare programme is one of the reasons patients choose us over many other providers.
Rather than leaving patients to manage major lifestyle changes alone, we continue providing professional guidance, encouragement and practical support throughout the years following surgery.
During the first two years, patients receive one-to-one support from:
- A specialist psychotherapist.
- A registered dietitian.
- A bariatric nurse.
- A dedicated fitness professional.
- Ongoing follow-up with their surgeon.
Together, this multidisciplinary team helps patients adapt to life after surgery, establish healthier routines and overcome the challenges that naturally arise during significant weight loss.
Support continues for a further three years through dedicated telephone aftercare alongside ongoing surgeon follow-up, providing reassurance that expert advice remains available whenever it is needed.
This commitment to long-term support is one of the reasons so many patients choose Tonic. Rather than focusing solely on the operation itself, we remain committed to helping every patient achieve sustainable improvements to their health, confidence and quality of life for years to come.

Your Journey with Tonic
Choosing weight loss surgery is an important decision, but it is only one step in a much longer journey towards better health.
From your very first consultation, our focus is on helping you understand your options, prepare for treatment and feel confident about every decision you make. We recognise that many patients arrive with questions about which procedure is right for them, what recovery involves and how their lifestyle may change afterwards. Our role is to provide clear answers, realistic guidance and support throughout the process.Once your surgeon has recommended the most appropriate procedure, we will help you prepare for surgery by explaining what to expect before your admission, during your hospital stay and throughout your recovery. This preparation is designed to help you approach treatment feeling informed rather than uncertain.
Following surgery, regular follow-up appointments and structured aftercare provide continued guidance as your weight changes and your confidence grows. As you adapt to new eating habits and healthier routines, our multidisciplinary team remains available to support your progress and help you overcome any challenges that arise.
For us, successful treatment is measured not simply by the amount of weight you lose, but by helping you build healthier habits that can be maintained for years to come.
Supporting Patients Across Bedfordshire and Beyond
Although our clinics are based in Luton, we support patients from across Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire and North London.Many people travel from Dunstable, Bedford, Milton Keynes, St Albans, Watford, Hemel Hempstead and surrounding areas because they are looking for specialist bariatric care delivered by an experienced team that remains focused on long-term success rather than surgery alone.
Luton’s excellent transport links make travelling straightforward for patients coming from across the surrounding counties, allowing them to access specialist weight loss surgery within trusted hospital environments without needing to travel significantly further afield.
For many people, choosing the right provider is more important than choosing the closest hospital. They value experienced clinicians, personalised treatment planning and the reassurance that support continues long after they have returned home.
Life After Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss surgery is designed to support lasting improvements to health, but the changes patients experience often extend much further than the numbers on the scales.
Many people notice that everyday activities become easier as their weight reduces. Walking greater distances, becoming more physically active and participating more confidently in family life are all changes that patients commonly describe during their journey.As healthier routines become established, many also experience improvements in confidence and overall wellbeing. These positive changes often develop gradually over time as patients continue working closely with their aftercare team and maintain the habits introduced following surgery.
Every journey is different, which is why our focus remains on supporting sustainable progress rather than encouraging unrealistic expectations. Long-term success is built through consistency, education and ongoing professional guidance.
Flexible Finance Options
We understand that private weight loss surgery is a significant investment in your long-term health and wellbeing.
Flexible finance options are available to help make treatment more manageable. During your consultation, our team will explain the available payment options, discuss costs openly and answer any questions you may have so that you have a clear understanding before making your decision.
Our aim is to provide transparent information in a supportive environment, allowing you to focus on choosing the treatment that is right for your health without feeling pressured.
