I cannot fault Tonic at any point
I cannot fault Tonic at any point, the whole experience has been amazing, from the day of booking until after surgery they have kept me informed on every step of my journey, the surgeon Dr Adamo in London was so great and put me at ease. The after care was brilliant and you couldn’t ask for better. If you ever think about using Tonic for your surgery then you will be in safe hands.. the after care is amazing

Tonic, Gastric Sleeve!
Couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Tonic. The team have been nothing but supportive not just at the beginning but since surgery too, my results have been incredible. I had my gastric sleeve at Luton hospital and cannot recommend enough!

Just the Best Experience
I did a lot of research before I decided on Tonic. What did it for me was the aftercare package and follow up. I had my operation on March 20th and the "journey" so far has been faultless.
From my first consultation with Mr Maddock and the pre op, I have found ALL members of the team so helpful, informative and polite, willing to help always.
On operation day I had a fabulous room and clinical staff were amazing, honestly I cannot say one thing negative. I was discharged making sure I had meds(all explained to me) and discharge papers.
After day 3 I had no pain and pain meds were a thing of the past, I was up and downstairs every day. I received a daily telephone call with the nurse which was great for any niggles. by the end of week 2 the dietician was calling, and still is now (week 6).
The one greatest benefit is to my health, the knee pain I had been in for 2 years and on pain meds every day just went! That in itself was amazing. My asthma wheeze has now gone and I am sleeping better than I have in years.
You have to be in the right frame of mind to have surgery and I thought long and hard (for 2 years) but when you are sure then definitely go for it.
I was expecting my cravings to be there still but in all honesty they have gone. At work I am surrounded by cakes,chocs and biccies all day and it honestly doesn't bother me.
Advice, well everyone had a different journey and I can only comment on my experience but one thing I would say is do the liver shrinking to the letter! its very important.
I am sure I may have blips and questions but I know I can pick up the telephone and speak to the Tonic Team.
Oh I had a Gastric Sleeve

The tonic team were fantastic
The tonic team were fantastic. I had my surgery August 2024 at Nuffield in Leeds and haven't looked back since. I'm 8 stone 4 pounds down and I have been weight lifting. I feel stronger and more confident. I'm even the first up dancing at any event, something I would have never have done. I totally recommend.

Changing my life and life is now worth living
When first phoning Tonic a lady called Lydia spoke to me explaining how Tonic could help me and she was so understanding never pushy. She then asked if i would like to speak to a surgeo n. Wow. Told i had an illness not my fault. When i decided my choice there was a cancellation and i went to London and had amazing treatment. I have no family and made the change all on my own. Always someone on the end of tge phone. Support was second to none. Never felt i was on my own. I was over 17 stone. Now 9 stone 8lbs after 3 years in September. My life is amazing now. Size 8 to 10 never alter and go on holiday and my time isnt thinking about food. Swimming walking enjoying my life. My life is great now at 67 years. Should have done it earlier. Dping the Brighton Marathon next week and did last year. I have worked with it as it is a tool and i go to the gym regular. And always listenered to all the Tonic Team for advice. Thank you Tonic. Xx

Tonic weight loss.
I got weight loss surgery from Tonic nearly 4 years ago. From start to finish the service was superb. Dr Awad was amazing. I haven't had any issues or concerns at all. The Tonic team were and are incredible. The private hospital in Birmingham was fantastic. I've lost 6 1/5 stones so far and feel great. No more jount pains. No more diabetes and a lot more confidence. In fact, I recommend Tonic to my brother and sister in law and they had the surgery too and are very happy. All in all, I'm really happy and glad I went with Tonic weight loss.

Had my surgery here in February 2026 and could not be happier. Great care and aftercare is fantastic. I was always made aware of everything about my surgery going forward and after.
Never abandoned!
This company is clearly a quality business. Even though they have a large Client base, I was made to feel as though they were with me every step of the way. From the beginning of the LRD, through the surgery (29/1/26) and afterwards, I have been looked after. The Tonic team, the surgeon and recently Harry on the physio side have been there and kept in regular contact. I can't recommend them enough and I would give them 6 stars.
The tonic team are fabulous
The tonic team are fabulous . Following my weight loss surgery I felt fully supported and always knew if I had any issues they would help me , I can highly recommend their services .
Would 100% recommend Tonic
Would 100% recommend tonic! I had a gastric bypass back in January 2026 and I have no regrets. When I first phoned the adviser was helpful and not pushy. Mr Dexter phoned me the next day and did a consultation and was very informative and helped me make a decision. The op went great I was well looked after at Leeds Nuffield and then you can not
Fault the aftercare there when ever you need them. I am so glad I went with Tonic
Tonic - bloody brilliant!
6 weeks post op and the whole experience from the start has been amazing.
My surgery got delayed 12 months due to health issues but Tonic supported me throughout that time.
Definitely recommend they give you the whole package and support to change your life!
I’ve had such a fantastic experience…
I’ve had such a fantastic experience with Tonic Surgery that I wanted to share a review for anyone considering them.
From the very first phone call through to my operation and the months of support afterwards, the entire journey has been phenomenal. The hospital staff, surgeon, dietitian, PT, and nurses have all been incredibly supportive and genuinely caring.
In the first few weeks after surgery they contacted me daily to check in, which made such a difference during recovery. Even now, five months post-op, I still receive regular calls to see how I’m doing and to make sure everything is on track.
The app is also brilliant for tracking progress and staying accountable. Harry, the PT, is especially amazing — he’s very active on social media and runs weekly live chats on Facebook, sends helpful emails, and is always available through WhatsApp. You can tell he truly cares and is there to support you 100%.
I honestly can’t rave enough about Tonic Surgery. The level of care and ongoing support has exceeded all my expectations, and I’m so grateful for the whole team.
Gastric Sleeve and over 50 years old
I have recently had a gastric sleeve and would highly recommend anyone considering bariatric surgery to have a chat with the Tonic team.
Tonic really do go that extra mile to assure their customers are satisfied and looked after.
I am feeling so positive and have amazing support from Tonic’s aftercare team.
My gastric sleeve journey
I cannot recommend Tonic Weight Loss highly enough. From the very first interaction through to my aftercare following gastric sleeve surgery, the entire experience was professional, supportive, and incredibly well organized.
My journey started with the initial enquiry, and I was immediately impressed by how responsive and informative the team was. Every question I had was answered clearly and patiently, and I never once felt rushed or like I was asking too much. They took the time to explain the entire process in detail, including the procedure itself, the preparation required, expected outcomes, and recovery. This level of transparency made me feel confident that I was in safe hands from the very beginning.
The communication throughout the booking process was excellent. The team made everything straightforward and stress-free, guiding me through each step and helping arrange the surgery dates efficiently. The pricing was also very reasonable and clearly explained upfront, with no hidden surprises, which was something I really appreciated when making such an important decision.
Before the operation, I had the opportunity to speak directly with the surgeon. This consultation was incredibly reassuring. The surgeon was knowledgeable, approachable, and took the time to address all of my questions and concerns in detail. I left that conversation feeling fully informed and confident about moving forward with the gastric sleeve procedure.
The organisation around the surgery itself was seamless. From coordinating travel and admission to ensuring I knew exactly what to expect on the day, everything was handled professionally and smoothly. The whole experience felt well managed and patient-focused, which really helped reduce any nerves I had beforehand.
What truly sets Tonic Weight Loss apart, however, is the aftercare. The support didn’t stop once the surgery was done. The follow-up care has been outstanding, with continued guidance, regular check-ins, and reassurance whenever needed. Knowing that the team is still there to support you throughout the recovery and weight loss journey makes a huge difference.
Overall, my experience with Tonic Weight Loss has been exceptional. The professionalism, communication, organisation, and genuine care shown by the entire team made this life-changing procedure a positive and empowering experience. If you are considering weight loss surgery and want a company that truly supports you every step of the way, I would highly recommend them.
Super helpful
Super helpful, great support, surgeons are amazing, the team that you have around you are amazing... I would definitely use again and tell people to use this company epic customer service lush xx
Thank you to Professor Al-Khafaf and Team
Thank you to Professor Al-Khafaf and the team for giving me my life back! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and compassion. I had my gastric sleeve September 2024. The surgery went perfectly, and I had very little discomfort.
I am healthier, more energetic, and more confident than I have been in years. The aftercare has been fantastic—regular check-ins with the after care team made all the difference.
The entire experience was very professional, well-organized, and smooth from start to finish. I only wish I had done this sooner.
Excellent Service
Information was clear, instructions clear. Every member of staff I have had contact with have been helpful and responsive. The aftercare so far has been excellent - regular phone calls from dietitian, nursing team and personal trainer.
Weight loss surgery
It took me 2 years to finally take the step and have a gastric sleeve. I spoke to Lydia from Tonic a few times and she was so understanding, she discussed everything from.. what is involved, how the day would run, the surgeons, cost and the amazing after care. I decided the week before Christmas that I was going to go ahead and my surgery was on the 12th January 2026. Before my surgery I spoke to the surgeon, dietician, psychotherapist and PT. They were all soo lovely and I felt that they cared and that I wasn’t ’just another patient’. The care is person centred and I was fully informed about every step. They were always on the other end of the phone or email if I needed any advice.
The day of the surgery went smoothly.Mr Dexter was lovely, so calm and relaxed which helped my nerves. I had my surgery in the afternoon on the Monday and I was discharged by dinner time on the Tuesday. I had check ins every day by the aftercare nurse who was lovely and I felt so supported.
The aftercare with tonic is just AMAZING! the aftercare was one of the main reasons I chose tonic. Yes it is tough physically for a few days but having weight loss surgery is a mental battle. Having to change your habits and not being able to turn to food when you want too is hard but the aftercare team has made it soo much easier. I am 6 weeks post op and I am starting to feel better in myself, my confidence is slowly but surely growing. I am 33lbs down from the start of my liver reduction diet and I can’t wait for the future.
Thank you tonic for helping me get my life back and bringing Lauren back!!
Life changing!
Tonic have been amazing and held my hand through every point. I am almost 5 months and am less than half a stone fromy goal weight, almost 5 stone off in 4 months!
Thank you to everyone involved!
