At the obesity clinic in Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth, Mr Somers is joined by other specialists – a dietician, a psychologist, nurses, and an anaesthetist. They offer extensive pre- and post-operative care. All of his patients have been through Tier 3 of NHS treatment, as well as years of failed dieting, mental health anguish or illnesses like diabetes and high blood pressure that many obese patients suffer.
