About Nosc
Nosc - The National Obesity Surgery Centre
Nosc, also known as the National Obesity Surgery Centre, is a leading weight loss surgery provider in the UK. With years of experience and expertise in the field of bariatric surgery, Nosc has helped thousands of patients achieve their weight loss goals and improve their overall health.
At Nosc, we understand that obesity is a complex medical condition that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment. That's why we offer a range of surgical procedures that are tailored to meet the individual needs and goals of our patients. Our team of highly skilled surgeons and healthcare professionals work closely with each patient to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their unique needs.
Our Procedures
We offer several types of weight loss surgeries at Nosc, including gastric bypass surgery, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, and duodenal switch surgery. Each procedure has its own benefits and risks, which will be discussed with you during your consultation with one of our surgeons.
Gastric Bypass Surgery: This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and rerouting part of the small intestine to this new pouch. This limits food intake while also reducing calorie absorption.
Sleeve Gastrectomy: In this procedure, approximately 80% of the stomach is removed leaving behind only a narrow tube or "sleeve". This reduces hunger by decreasing ghrelin production while also limiting food intake.
Gastric Banding: A silicone band is placed around the upper part of your stomach creating two separate compartments for food storage. The band can be adjusted over time to control hunger levels.
Duodenal Switch Surgery: This procedure combines both restrictive (sleeve gastrectomy) and malabsorptive (bypass) techniques resulting in significant weight loss by limiting calorie absorption while restricting food intake.
