As per local guidelines set by our ICB, patients who choose to go abroad or seek private weight loss surgery in this country are not covered for any post-surgical follow up by their NHS GP.
This follow up is a specialist service, and you will need to seek private follow up.

There is no funding to receive this follow up with your GP.

You are welcome to discuss this further with the ICB if you wish to do so. They are due to review this policy in February 2025
