Dr. John A. Copp

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope that once you've viewed the information available, you will be aware of the surgeries I offer to my patients.

​

I have been performing Weight Loss surgery since 2001. My team and I feel very encouraged by the results which are supported by worldwide research showing the benefits of these procedures for weight reduction, particularly in the long term.

​

Patients who attend our clinic will be given comprehensive research supported information. I always inform patients that having weight loss surgery is only half the battle with their weight, they must adopt lifestyle changes which include choices of unprocessed nutritious foods with a moderate degree of physical activity after their surgery. 

Patients are followed up very carefully through our clinic long term. Patients following our dietary and activity guidelines should  on average lead to a 50-60% of excess weight-loss with with dramatic improvement in co-morbidities such as sleep apnoea, hypertension, Type 2 diabetes.

 

Most of our patients note dramatic changes in their general mobility and a feeling of wellness.

Some of our patients unfortunately need to lose more than 50-60% to get into a healthy weight range.
