Bariatric surgery is a big decision and for many, a turning point. It’s a powerful tool that can support meaningful weight loss and improve overall health, but surgery alone isn’t the full picture. What happens afterwards plays just as important a role.
At Blackrock WeightCare, we know from experience that long-term success comes from steady, ongoing support. That’s why we’ve developed a structured two-year aftercare programme to help guide each patient through the changes, challenges, and milestones that come with life after surgery.
Aftercare That Grows With You
Recovery isn’t a straight line, and each person’s journey is different. Our aftercare programme is designed to offer the kind of support that can adapt to your needs as they change – early days, steady progress, or times when a little extra reassurance is needed.
Here’s what’s included:
- Scheduled post-op appointments to monitor progress and check in regularly on nutrition, health, and wellbeing.
- Extra consultations if and when you need them. No need to wait for the next scheduled visit if something’s on your mind.
- Clinical access in the early stages after surgery – so you’re never left worrying alone.
- Support from a multidisciplinary team, including:
- Dietitians who understand the changes in nutrition that come post-surgery
- Endocrinologists to keep an eye on metabolic health
- Nurse specialists who offer both medical advice and day-to-day guidance
- A helpful admin team to keep everything running smoothly in the background
Patient Perspectives on Aftercare
In a recent conversation, several patients reflected on their experiences during the months following surgery. They spoke about the reassurance of having support available when needed and how personalised dietary guidance proved valuable during more challenging periods.
These conversations have been brought together in a short video:

Keeping Things Steady, One Step at a Time
There’s no magic solution – but with the right support, it becomes that bit more manageable. That’s the thinking behind our aftercare programme: steady guidance, tailored advice, and a team that understands what’s needed – not just in the first few weeks, but throughout the full journey.
