Welcome to the website of WLSinfo

A warm welcome to WLSinfo (Weight Loss Surgery Information and Support) a registered charity founded in 2002. Thousands of people have been helped in their journey from obesity through weight loss surgery, to post operative living.

The charity occupies a unique place in the depth of personal knowledge and experience that the individuals who belong here offer. This is combined with many professional recommendations and contributions from some of the leading clinicians and scientists in obesity, its study, and its treatment in the UK.

Help on this complex journey is only a click away. Explore all parts of the site, look at our forums and join in. Or maybe try one of our support groups, or use the helpline.

We hope you enjoy using the site and welcome any feedback you may have at feedback@wlsinfo.org.uk

Aftercare advice Weight loss surgery is for life. Research suggests & our experience shows, that the people who do best long term are those with good long term aftercare & support.
