Tonic Surgery Reviews 

The tonic team have been incredible from day one.. the amount of support I have recieved both pre and post op has really helped me through and put my mind at ease (me being a chronic over-thinker).

I am 5 weeks out from my gastric sleeve surgery and 2stone 9lbs down from the start of my LRD. I still have a long way to go but am already feeling so much better within myself!

I honestly couldn’t thank them more for providing such a life changing service in such a knowledgable way and would 100% recommend Tonic to anyone looking to go down the same route.

Still on my journey fitness next and build my self up again. Many thanks

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely life-changing!

Choosing Tonic for my gastric sleeve surgery in May 2024 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Almost two and a half years on and 8 stone lighter, I can honestly say it’s changed my life. It’s been about so much more than weight loss – I’ve gained confidence, happiness and finally learnt to love the person looking back at me in the mirror.

As a busy mum of two, this journey has given me a whole new lease of life, and I couldn’t be more grateful to Tonic for being part of it. The support, the after care, the staff and the service has been amazing and I cannot fault them at all.

I’ve gained so much more than I’ve lost. Thank you, Tonic, for helping me find me again! ❤️

Couldn’t recommend them enough! ⭐️

A genuinely life-changing experience with Tonic Surgery

It’s difficult to put into words what Tonic Surgery has done for me, because this experience has been about so much more than simply having an operation. It has been part of completely changing my life.

From my very first contact, I felt like a person not a number, not a sales opportunity and not just another patient.
My initial consultation was completely free, but more importantly, it was personal. I felt heard by the surgeon and was explained why not all procedures are the right fit for me as I initially contacted about the ballon in 2023.
I never felt rushed or pressured into making a decision. I was able to talk openly about my circumstances, ask questions and understand what surgery could realistically mean for me. I felt listened to, respected and supported in making the decision that was right for me.
That level of care didn't disappear once I'd committed to surgery either, or even once I left the hospital.
From the consultants and surgical team to the nurses, dietetic support and the wider aftercare team, every part of my experience has been handled thoroughly and professionally.
The aftercare has been exactly that actual care after surgery.
I've continued to have support, guidance, reassurance and access to the different parts of the team throughout my journey.
For me, that has been incredibly important. This Surgery isn't just one day in a hospital and off you go into the world again, It's a huge physical and emotional journey, and knowing there is a whole team behind you afterwards makes such a difference.
I ultimately chose to privately fund my surgery, as I had already explored other options with strict guidelines as we all know, and it was one of the biggest decisions I have ever made.

Today, I have lost 11 stone.
But those two words 11 stone don't come close to explaining what I've actually gained, and please do not compare my scales to your own.
I've gained my health back.
I've gained confidence.
I've gained a future with my family which I can be excited about.
And I've never felt as though Tonic's involvement ended when I left the operating theatre. The support has continued throughout the different stages of my journey.
When I look back at the person I was before surgery and look at the woman I am becoming now, it genuinely makes me emotional.

I will forever be grateful to the entire Tonic Surgery team for the part they have played in my story.
If you're considering surgery and you're frightened, overwhelmed or simply don't know where to begin, I can only share my own experience: make the call and have the conversation. The fact that my consultation was free gave me the opportunity to explore my options without feeling pressured, and from that first conversation through to my ongoing aftercare, I have felt supported.
Tonic didn't just perform my surgery.
They supported me while I changed my life. ❤️
And for that, I will always be grateful. 🥹❤️

Tonic have really been wonderful. From day one, the kindness and support received from everyone has really been incredible. It's really one of the best things I've ever done.

I had my operation 6th Sept 25 best thing I ever did money well spent do not get me wrong it is hard to adjust to what intake of food and what can eat but you learn the tonic team are there for me all the time if I need them they do regular check ups am 5st down my goal was 4 stone but like I said it's monitoring what u can eat and what you carnt but I am very pleased with the out come no regrets at all hope this helps other people on thinking of getting it done x

The staff were so helpful, informative and friendly. The consultant and theatre staff were just amazing as well.

I’ve had the lovely ladies contact me all the time afterwards checking im doing okay. I can contact them and they are always there to help.

Simple things like being able to communicate for some things via whats app. They help.

Would highly recommend.

Great experience from start to finish!

I was so well looked after pre and post surgery. Very friendly staff, nurses and doctors, put me at ease. They have been there every step of the way and continue to be so.

From day 1 Tonic were very supportive of what i needed and there wqs zero pressure to make a decision until i was ready.

Tge whole team have been so incredibly supportive from my inotail call to consultation, at the hospital and i must say the after care has far exceeded my expectations. All the key support roles are easily reachanle at times that suit me and i get a call every few weeks to check in and see how im doing!

The psychotherapists really take the time to get to know you and learn what methods can best support your mwntal progress whilst liasing with other memvers of the team so everyone is working from the same page. Harry has been very apprpachanle and supported changes to my movement ti better suit my needs and likes/dislikes and the weekly webinars are a great way to connect with other patients. Abir has had a nutritional challenge with me but always works to fi d alternatives that can really support my new me.

I had an rny gastric bypass 11 weeks ago today and can ho estly say the team at tonic have changed my life. Im down ove 5 stone already and enjoying new fi d life and freedom with my kids so all i can say is a massive thank you and reccomend this provider to anyone looking to empower themselves to make a change

Excellent from initial enquiry onwards. The consultant, nursing staff, physio,housekeeping were all amazing. The wraparound care is second to none. I am very happy with the care I have received.

I had a 360FDL on the 26th of July with the fabulous Professor Hindocha. The care, support and reassurance has been absolutely incredible. Both Rebecca the Tonic Nurse, Lisa Professor Hindocha’s secretary and Professor Hindocha himself have been on the ball and so attentive. I’ve had a few hiccups but they have all made me feel 150% supported. I couldn’t thank them enough and would highly recommend both Tonic and Professor Hindocha. For my next surgery I will definitely use them again. 🤗

I had a gastric sleeve with tonic surgery on 2023 with Mr Alkhafaff and my experience from beginning to now has been fabulous. I was very well looked after by Mr Alkhafaff and nurses at The Alexandra Hospital. I had a lot of input from Rebecca, psychotherapist which was very useful as well as Lisa dietician. I never used Harry, PT much but his online advice and posts were always very helpful. The admin team are very responsive and friendly when you contact with a question and they frequently reach out to check in. Would highly recommend tonic surgery! Well worth the money

I honestly cannot thank Tonic Weight Loss enough for everything they have done for me, from the very beginning right through to my surgery and ongoing aftercare.

My decision to have bariatric surgery wasn’t simply about losing weight. I had struggled for years with my weight alongside a number of medical problems, including metabolic disease. I had also previously had a stroke and have an immune disorder, and losing weight had become extremely difficult for me. I had tried Mounjaro and Wegovy, but unfortunately neither worked for me.

I also have a stoma and a gigantic parastomal hernia. I had been waiting a long time on the NHS and felt let down, but there was a lot of uncertainty about whether they could do the gastric bypass because of my existing mesh, stoma and weight.

I needed to lose a substantial amount of weight before I could have my hernia surgery. In the end, my husband and I decided to look into Tonic Weight Loss privately after seeing them advertised. I felt reassured that they were UK-based, reputable and that my surgery would be carried out at Luton and Dunstable Hospital. From the beginning, I felt completely safe and supported.

I had my gastric bypass earlier this year with the highly skilled Mr Askari, and it has genuinely changed my life. I have lost a substantial amount of weight and am still losing, although my journey has been slower than some people’s.

The weight loss hasn’t repaired my hernia — I am still waiting for that surgery — but it has made a real difference to managing my stoma. My stoma and its output are much easier for me to manage now, and losing the weight has helped me get to the point where I can move forward towards having the hernia repaired within the next few weeks.

For someone in my situation, that has been incredibly important. My stomach is a different shape because of the hernia, which has caused difficulties with my stoma and getting my bag to fit properly. Losing the weight has helped make things more manageable while I wait for the next stage of my treatment.

Bariatric surgery isn’t a quick fix, and it does require commitment. I have to take additional vitamins, have B12 injections, drink plenty of water and make sure I look after myself properly. But for me, it has been absolutely worth it.

After years of struggling with my weight and feeling unhappy in myself, I finally feel that I am moving in the right direction. This surgery has given me the opportunity to lose the weight I needed to lose and, importantly, to get myself into a better position for the hernia surgery I need. I have tried different diets which made my weight yo-yo, I tried different medications for weight loss and nothing worked.

Tonic have been wonderful from start to finish. Everyone’s circumstances are different and bariatric surgery is a very personal decision, but my experience has been extremely positive.

Thank you to the whole Tonic team for their care and support, and especially to the highly skilled Mr Askari. I am so grateful that I made the decision to have my surgery with Tonic.

It really has been one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Today mark 6 months since i had my breast augmentation and tummy tuck with Tonic on 13 February 2026, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience and results.

From my very first consultation, I felt completely reassured and confident that I was in the right hands. The entire Tonic team were professional, caring and supportive throughout the whole journey, from the initial consultation right through to my aftercare.

A special thank you to Professor Sandip Hindocha, who performed my surgery. In my opinion, he is the best surgeon. His expertise, attention to detail and professionalism gave me complete confidence, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. He understood exactly what I wanted and delivered results that have exceeded my expectations.

Having both procedures was a big decision for me, but I am so glad I went ahead. As the months have passed, I have become more and more delighted with my results. I feel more confident, feminine and comfortable in myself, and it has genuinely made such a positive difference to how I feel.

I would highly recommend Professor Sandip Hindocha and Tonic to anyone considering cosmetic surgery. The care, expertise and support I received throughout the whole experience were exceptional.

Thank you to Professor Hindocha and the entire Tonic team for looking after me so well and helping me achieve results I am incredibly proud of.

I booked in to have a gastric sleeve I am now 5 weeks po, I was so scared the day of surgery arrived and I was terrified but Mr dexter and the anthethatist was amazing put my mind at rest so much and the nurses after surgery were amazing constantly checking in it does stop there the aftercare is brilliant always at the other end of the phone if you need them would 100% recommend tonic they have been amazing from the start.

From the inquiry phone call with Melissa who put me at ease straight away , to today one year on since my sleeve at Derby Royal with the wonderful Mr Awad Tonic Surgery has changed my life.
Right from the beginning Tonic have been there and made this process so easy. All the staff along the way have been fantastic and are always there for you. I am 8 stone lighter and getting my life back , it’s the best thing I have ever done for myself, if you are thinking about weight loss surgery look no further than Tonic.

Mr Askari was beyond incredible. Nothing was too much trouble, there was zero pressure and he always made time to speak to me if I had additional questions. He took the time to explain things thoroughly and this meant there were no surprises and I was able to make an informed decision.

The aftercare team are brilliant and supportive.
I received loads of information and could ring up as often as needed if I had a question or wasnt sure about something.

My surgery and recovery went very well and I am feeling great.
I am very glad I went with Tonic and Mr Askari at Luton Hospital.

The whole process with the team from Tonic went very smoothly and efficiently. Everyone who we dealt with was professional and knowledgeable. The Hospital was very nice and I felt relaxed and confident that I was in good hands.
Professor Alkhaffaf and his team were extremely pleasant and highly proficient. I made a speedy recovery and didn’t suffer a lot of pain or discomfort. The scars have healed very well and are now barely visible.

I have for many years considered weight loss surgery. I was always nervous, put off by friends and family, I wanted to go abroad in view of the prices however from the moment I spoke to my patient coordinator, I felt at ease. I still hadn’t made my decision but she was so lovely and reassuring. When I spoken to my consultant, that’s when I knew tonic was for me. He has changed my life and the support has been amazing all throughout the journey. I felt I have been lucky and made a great recovery and adjust to my new tummy well so maybe haven’t needed a high level of support but they have always made me aware of what support is available to me and when I have needed them, they have been there! I am 4.5 stone down, half way to my goal at 4 months post op! I have never regretted a single second of this journey! If you’re gunna do it! Go TONIC! ❤️
