One Ashford Hospital has announced the launch of a new comprehensive bariatric surgery and weight management service, designed to meet the growing demand for safe and effective weight loss treatments across Kent and the Southeast.
The service is led by three of the region’s most experienced bariatric surgeons – Mr Basu, Mr Mamidanna, and Mr Siddiqui – who collectively bring more than 85 years of expertise in weight loss surgery.
Patients will have access to a full suite of treatments, including gastric sleeve, gastric band, gastric bypass, and weight management programmes. To ensure accessibility, One Ashford is constantly reviewing its weight management fees against online providers while maintaining a clinician-led approach for maximum safety and effectiveness.
With obesity levels continuing to rise and linked conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnoea becoming increasingly prevalent, One Ashford’s new bariatric service provides a much-needed multidisciplinary approach. Alongside consultant-led care, patients will receive ongoing support from dietitians and clinical nurse specialists, ensuring a tailored and sustainable path to long-term health.
“Our aim is to provide patients with access to specialist advice, evidence-based treatments and ongoing support – all in a private and professional setting,” said Mr Mamidanna, who is leading the new service.
“By combining clinical expertise with a holistic approach to weight loss, we strive to improve not just physical health, but also confidence, mental wellbeing, and quality of life.”
The new service has been designed to support patients at every stage of their journey from initial consultation through to surgery, aftercare, and long-term lifestyle changes. Patients can expect:
Significant weight loss and lasting results
Reduced risk of obesity-related health conditions
Improved mobility, energy, and daily wellbeing
Enhanced self-esteem and confidence
One Ashford Hospital provides a wide range of private healthcare services, delivered by expert consultants and supported by state-of-the-art facilities.
