Avoid!!!!
I had a band in 2019, I was advised by surgeon that I would need at least 8 fills to see results, so i thought this meant I was having 8 fills no matter what, anyway covid 19 hit and we then go into lock down 2020, I suffered with mental health due to this and was off work a further year due to mental health I have advised this to staff at healthier weight and have all medical history on this, I had a band adjustment finally back in 2022 in Cardiff I have since tried and tried to book an adjustment but got no joy, they have now advised that there is no longer a clinic going to be in Cardiff, but it's OK you can still ome to Birmingham bare in mind Cardiff is a 30 min drive, Birmingham is 3 hours drive so there and back to have a fill is going to be 6 hours drive in total,the answer I got is you can always go to someone else as your out of warranty hmmmm I was told to go to somone else when I paid thousands of pounds to this company, avoid this company!!!!!! Would not recommend!!!!!

Hi Gemma,
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
We have a band adjustment policy in place which outlines the time that must pass in between adjustments – this policy is in place for the sake of patient safety, to avoid the risk of infection. We will not adjust a band unless medically indicated, as our main focus is always patient safety. There is not one fixed number of adjustments included in our aftercare, as this varies vastly between patients, based on individual needs. As we have advised on a telephone call with you, we are very transparent about our adjustment policy in our Terms and Conditions.
The pandemic had an impact on businesses and health care services all across the country, including here at Healthier Weight. As a business, we did our best to adapt during times that were challenging and uncertain, whilst always keeping patient care as a priority. Your Aftercare period ended in 2021, yet we have honoured 2 x free-of-charge band adjustment appointments as a gesture of goodwill, in light of the pandemic and the recent circumstances.
We note that you called us once in 2022, in May, to book a band adjustment. An appointment was booked for you accordingly, in the same month of that call. We received no further correspondence from you during 2022. The next time you contacted us was on the 7th of June 2023 in response to a message received from us, which notified patients that we would no longer be offering appointments in the Cardiff clinic. We understand the disappointment in response to this announcement. The end to our services in Cardiff was out of our control and it is as much as a disappointment to us, as it is to our Welsh patients.
On our telephone call, we informed you of the options going forward. To offer a solution where you remain under the care of Healthier Weight, we suggested travelling to Birmingham, as this is the nearest clinic to Cardiff. However, we have also explained clearly that you can still attend the same Cardiff clinic directly, separately from Healthier Weight.
We care deeply about our patients and will always do our very best to accommodate the individual needs and circumstances of each patient. As a Healthier Weight patient, you are a patient with us for life and we will continue to support you on your journey, if you are ever in need of assistance.
Warmest Regards,
HW
HW have been the perfect team
HW have been the perfect team, seamlessly managing my care for 20 months now. They helped manage my disappointment when my test results meant postponing surgery, they liaised with me about possible dates, pre op dieting, what supplements to take and generally preparing me for this life changing surgery.
When my initial date was postponed, there immediately refunded the money I’d paid which really helped me to build up trust in them. After the surgery they telephoned regularly to check up on me, making sure I was ok and managing. Each time someone different rang, they knew all about me and knew what conversations I’d had with their colleagues. They really were the best and I am ever thankful that this company was recommended to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to do the same.

Healthier weight made sure I was happy with the service giving clear instructions of what to expect before and after surgery giving you time to process the procedure and after care .
They are always at the end of the phone and you are able to speak to them any time with concerns or just reassurance . If you are thinking about getting surgery please give them a call like me you won’t be disappointed all I can say is thank you healthier weight .

Good and the bad customer service
Communication from my first enquiry was never great. Difficult to get hold of via email. Paitent coordinator could not answer questions I had and only seemed interested in getting my money and signing up. Then I never heard from that person again once I signed the documents.
I had almost no information prior to surgery but told someone would contact me. It took me to email and complain for things to start happening and pre op appointments to be made. Then everything all hit at once around 2 weeks pre op and I missed key information which I needed to know.
Dietician team is really good! Really helped with reducing sugar levels pre op. Friendly lady and felt comfortable talking to her.
I had an issue gaining my bmi 'proof' which I was hounded for multiple time by different people who I did not find to friendly.
Surgery - Amazing facillities, room was lovely and the night staff were amazing. Helping me out of bed after surhery when I just needed to stand up. Charge nurse couldn't do enough for me! Lovely lady.
Surgeon was great too. The anesthetist and his assistant were funny before they put me to sleep.
Post op-
I was told I had to keep something down before I could go home but I was never offered anything and had to ask for it.
Hospital did bring fresh jugs of water round 3 times a day.
Post op, had call back quickly with concerns I had which was good. 2 days post op and 3 week phone calls. No idea when the next one is. There is no pre warning of a call, they just call. Also post op, I had not seen amd email among the multiple emails I was suddenly sent, to follow a link to a website to see what I can and cannot eat and exrcies until over a week post op and again, I had complained to Healthier Weight I had not been given this information and was told I had been emailed once with a link to the website so look for the email
Having reminder emails for post op really should happen so information is not missed.
The app is not very good. Only helpful thing is tracking my weight and steps counter. I have deleted it now.
I feel having one or two people as main contacts would be best as I was speaking to different people each time a phone call would come in or email and it would be nice to build a rapore with someone during my treatment instead of multiple people who do not know me and are only picking up a file that morning like a lucky dip. I have spoken to around 5 or 6 different people within 5 weeks pre op and post op.
(Dietician has been the only constant person ive spoken to and has made me feel comfortable during this process)
All in all, I feel Healthier Weight needed the staff to improve how they may come across to paitens.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Healthier Weight.
We are pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the level of care and support provided to you by our Dietician, as well as the team at the hospital.
It is, however, disappointing to hear that you have not been satisfied with other aspects of your overall experience with us.
It is important that we obtain evidence regarding patients’ BMI records, as this will help us identify if a patient is required to have additional care or assessments, hence our determination in obtaining this information from you. We would like to clarify that we take the safety of our patients very seriously and strive to provide them with all the necessary information prior to their weight loss surgery. Information regarding the post-operative stages are sent to patients ahead of the surgery date, to allow for sufficient preparation and planning.
We further note that you reviewed your terms & conditions when booking and signed to acknowledge you had understood them, as well as confirming you had read and understood the clinical information we provided. Our aftercare package is explained within this document and information is provided regarding the scheduled telephone contact. We understand that you have since asked us to contact you via email (prior to calling) and this is something that has been acknowledged and put in place as requested.
We would also like to confirm that our Patient Support Team and Bariatric Nursing Team work closely together, to ensure exchanged knowledge and insight among all team members. Please note that each team member has the same access and insight into each patient’s journey.
We value our patients and their feedback and are committed to improving our services. If there is anything further that we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Kind regards

First class care…
Staff very efficient and informative esp pre surgery, numerous emails with information almost daily. Surgery went ahead as planned 10 days after consultant appointment. Staff at Livingston hospital were 1st class and very attentive, esp to a patient who was upset all night. Aftercare is ongoing with follow up appointments/phonecards. No issues personally, would highly recommend Healthier Weight.

Hi Laverne,
Thank you for your feedback.
You can find and access guidance on the various dietary stages, as well as daily protein intake, via our website and app.
Whereas we do provide guidance on daily protein intake, we do not provide guidance on the exact number of calories. The calorific intake differs for each patient, depending on factors such as activity levels, body composition and metabolic rate. Our nurses and dietician are always happy to provide guidance based on your specific needs.
Please reach out if you need any further assistance - we are happy to help and look forward to following your journey.
Warmest Regards,
HW
Very knowledgeable friendly staff
Very knowledgeable friendly staff. Clear concise communication and information from all involved. Once the decision was made I needed a fast operation date which was no issue. Initial enquiry on the Monday, consultation with Surgeon on the Wednesday, Surgery date booked on the Thursday. Fast and simple. No question unanswered. Very impressed and very happy.

They dont tell you about all the risks
Be careful with this company. They do not tell you about all the risks involved in surgery and if/when you find out about them yourself they will still keep your money. I lost over £1000 by them not telling me about all the risks. If they warned me properly then i would not have booked the surgery and they know this.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with Healthier Weight. We are sorry to hear that you were unhappy with the service we provided.
We would like to clarify that we take the safety of our patients very seriously and strive to provide them with all the necessary information regarding the risks associated with weight loss surgery. We provide a thorough consultation with a qualified surgeon, a document outlining the procedure, and a one-hour video that covers the risks and their likelihood.
We note that you reviewed the terms & conditions when booking and signed to acknowledge you had understood them as well as confirming you had read and understood the clinical information we provided. In addition, during the pre-op period, we review and recap the information our clinical team provided. We understand that undergoing surgery is a significant decision, and we want our patients to make an informed choice.
Regarding your cancellation, we respect your right to elect not to proceed with the procedure, undertaking weight loss surgery is a highly personal decision and we are here to support our patients through the process.
However, we do have a cancellation policy that is in place to cover the unavoidable costs that we incur in preparing for surgery, such as the pre-operative assessment conducted by ourselves and the hospital, including blood tests, staff time, and booking of theatre facilities. When a patient requests to cancel surgery with 2 days notice prior to the date of the procedure, there is little opportunity to minimise the costs incurred or bring forward another patient to fill the theatre time.
We are disappointed that you decided to offer feedback via a reviews platform rather than attempt to resolve the situation via our complaints procedure. With regret, as a result, we feel it necessary to respond and dispute your version of events to protect our reputation.
We value our patients and their feedback and are committed to improving our services. If there is anything further that we can do to assist you, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
