At the Luton and Dunstable Hospital we offer Tier 3 (medical) and 4 (surgical) programmes. Subject to your GP referral criteria, you can choose to participate in our Tier 3 programme at this hospital or through a provider in your local area. At your first appointment you will meet our team and they will develop a weight loss programme individually tailored to your needs. At this appointment a blood test will be required; any other assessments will be dependent on your health.
Throughout the programme you will receive nutritional guidance, dietary counselling, and regular specialist support. This programme typically lasts between 6 to 12 months depending on your BMI.
When you have successfully completed the Tier 3 programme you will either be referred back to the care of your local healthcare provider for continued support, or considered for weight loss surgery with our team of specialist surgeons .
At the Luton and Dunstable Hospital we understand that each person is different and that lifestyle and personal circumstances can influence our ability to make changes. With this in mind we consider each person's individual needs and together, set realistic and achievable goals.
As with any treatment your success rate will depend on how motivated you are to making a difference and committed you are to a lifestyle change. It is our hope that every patient is successful in their weight loss journey and we will support you through every step of the way.
If you have tried other ways to lose weight but have not been successful, a referral to our weight loss experts may be the solution for you.
Our specialist programme is designed not only to help people lose significant weight but to give them the life skills and knowledge to keep the weight off. Whilst this website can provide some insight into our weight management programme it cannot replace the personal advice you will get from our specialists. If you think that you may be eligible then ask to be referred to our specialists and make a change today!
