From your first consultation through to surgery, recovery and follow-up appointments, every stage of your treatment is delivered within a professional healthcare environment focused on patient safety, personalised care and long-term success.

Together with Tonic’s structured 5-year aftercare programme, patients benefit from ongoing specialist support designed to help them build healthier habits, maintain successful weight loss and achieve lasting improvements to their health and wellbeing.

Five Years of Dedicated Aftercare

One of the biggest reasons patients choose Tonic is the level of support they receive after surgery. While weight loss surgery is an important milestone, long-term success is built through continued guidance, encouragement and specialist care. Our structured 5-year aftercare programme has been designed to help patients adapt to life after surgery, build healthier habits and achieve sustainable weight loss with confidence.

Rather than leaving patients to manage these changes alone, our multidisciplinary team provides ongoing clinical, nutritional and emotional support, ensuring expert advice is always available throughout your journey.

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 provides practical advice, emotional support and professional guidance throughout the early stages of significant weight loss.

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“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.

“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.”

“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”
