Tonic Surgery Reviews 

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! ❤️

I had an excellent experience with Tonic from start to finish. The entire team was professional, supportive, and always available to answer any questions I had throughout the process.

The information provided was clear and thorough, which helped me feel confident and well-prepared for my surgery. Every member of staff I interacted with was friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my wellbeing.

The aftercare and ongoing support have been outstanding, giving me reassurance and guidance during my recovery and weight loss journey. Choosing Tonic was one of the best decisions I've made, and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

Thank you to everyone at Tonic for making what could have been a daunting experience feel so positive and life-changing. 😊

From the very first phone call in April when I enquired to now being 4 weeks post op, the support has been amazing.
Everything has been as promised with all the aftercare and check ins.
My only wish is that I had of found this company sooner!
The customer service has been outstanding and I cannot fault any members of the team, even the nurses when i came out of surgery.

Had support from the very first phone call and it is still available if needed. The consultant, nurses, fitness experts and admin were informative, knowledgable and pleasant. No judging, just reassurance and positive encouragement. You have to be committed to the programme but it works and is so worth the effort. Losing weight helped me to undergo hip replacement surgery sooner than would have been possible before. I have no doubt it has been the best thing even for someone in their sixties

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. From the beginning of my journey, the staff were kind, caring, and very reassuring. I had constant contact with a nurse, dietician, PT, and the surgeon. The hospital and surgery was outstanding and the aftercare team are very thorough and have regular check ups to ensure you get the best out of your procedure. I would highly recommend TONIC.

I am so glad I went with Tonic! I had a terrible experience with another private hospital local to me and then someone recommended Tonic. I gave them a call and I immediately noticed the difference. They are genuinely caring, compassionate and highly professional. Within minutes they had arranged for me to speak with a surgeon and within 1.5hrs he called me to discuss everything. My surgery was arranged quickly and appropriately. I am now 11 days post surgery. The care I received at Derby private hospital was absolutely incredible! Honestly I didn't even know that level of hospital care existed! The room was absolutely massive and beautiful, everything immaculate. My support team are amazing, daily nurse calls, dietician support, a psychotherapist to help me deal with the emotional and mental challenges of not relying on food as a comfort anymore. It's all amazing. Honestly if you are thinking of having this type of surgery then go with Tonic! As far as I can see it's literally impossible to get care better than this as it's gold standard. Thank you so much to everyone at tonic and everyone at Derby private hospital.

I had my surgery October 2025 , wow it’s been life changing. I am still on my journey but since having surgery in October I am 6stone 11lbs down, a uk size 20 down to a 12. I can’t thank my surgeon enough and the team at tonic for always being on hand even if it’s for the silly of questions. Honestly life changing best Decision I ever made. Thank you Tonic.

From the first conversation with Tonic, I felt reassured, this company treated me with sensitivity and consideration. They answered all my questions and each member off staff I spoke to were polite, honest about the procedure and Dr Currie, surgeon made me feel truly safe. He explained everything about the gastric sleeve procedure and I felt confident going forward. The morning of the surgery I arrived for 7am and was looked after continuously throughout my stay. The aftercare is amazing. Ive had continuous contact from various clinicians checking in every week to ensure im okay. Ive lost a lot of weight already after only 4 weeks and feel no pain from the surgery. My energy level has increased and I feel so much happier in my new body. I adhere to the new diet and im never hungry. Im returning to the gym next week where I swim most days. Thank you Tonic for not just changing my life but for giving me hope of good health going forward. I would recommend Tonic to anyone who wants to change their life, become healthy and lose weight. My son lost 7 stone after his surgery 5 months ago. Its changed his life!

Such a fantastic company
The attention to detail, the care, the regular touch points and the supportive nature of all the staff has been amazing
Such a great company which I would definitely recommend to friends and family
Thankyou Tonic

I used Tonic in 2021 for gastric sleeve surgery, had operation done in Leeds .
Very professional service and fabulous support and after care ,I am still in a support group on facebook and this is 5 years on .

i spent a while to conduct research and find a company that suited me. Tonic fitted the bill, easy access to a nearby hospital, excellent customer service and fantastic support throughout. I could not be happier with the processes undertaken by Tonic, the hospital stay and the procedure or the aftercare. Gastric sleeve completed and I couldnt be happier

I cannot fault anything with the experience I have had with Tonic. From start to finish there is help if ever you need it. Well informed and great recipes and check ups. Nothing is too much trouble. Had a follow up with my surgeon today, very happy with my progress and so am I! The journey doesn’t end there, will speak with Mr Adimo again after the summer. If you ever need any advice they are always ready for you. Even a PT is provided also and nutritionist. Trusted and would definitely use them again ! What’s stopping you?!

I’m coming up to 3 years post op and the support from Tonic and their staff is still fantastic. The op and immediate clinical support was brilliant and I can honestly say it’s changed my life. However, one of the reasons I chose Tonic was because they continue to support you years down the line (at no extra cost !). I had a recent query and they came back to me with a solution and a call from my consultant within a day. I always recommend them to anyone considering this route to weight loss.

I had my surgery in Cheadle at the end of May and Tonic provided an exceptionally high standard of service from beginning to end. The consultation with the surgeon, Mr Alkhaffaf, was so reassuring and comforting- he was down to earth, pleasant and very knowledgeable and experienced- I can see why he gets so many 5* reviews. The operation went smoothly and the nursing staff at The Alexandra were fantastic.
Post op - there was always someone at the end of a phone at Tonic to address any worries, questions or just to find out more information.
The weekly phone calls from my Dietitian, Lisa, were so encouraging and informative and she sent out recipe ideas for all the stages which were so useful; my allocated Nurse, Rebecca, was so helpful, supportive and answered all questions giving me that added security. I was also able to easily contact them if I had any questions in between times. Finally, the virtual Physical Trainer gave practical advice based on my individual needs and circumstances. There was also a Psychologist available should you need them.
I would highly recommend Tonic for this type of surgery - their care is second to none!

From my initial enquiry right through to date Tonic have been supportive, informative and generally amazing. I would not hesitate in recommending Tonic to anyone considering this surgery. The services offered are life changing and to be fully supported throughout is priceless.

Amazing customer service!
I have been with Tonic over 4 years, nothing is ever too much trouble. I reached out on Facebook recently to the group stating I was struggling, Louise contacted me to check I was ok, offer tools and also a chat anytime needed, don’t know any other company that would do this! Thank you tonic for giving me my life back and all the support!

Since the first time I approached Tonic with my enquiry about having the gastric sleeve surgery and it now being nearly 4 weeks since my op, all staff have been very helpful,supportive and friendly throughout the whole journey so far and also my surgeon and the hospital staff were great looking after me whilst I was in hospital, I can not fault any of them or the Tonic staff. I would definately recommend Tonic, the Alexandra hospital and my surgeon Mr Bilal Alkhaffaf.

My experience with Tonic Weight Loss has been extremely disappointing.

I believe I was mis-sold a gastric band. Just three months after having it fitted, it eroded into my stomach, leaving me seriously unwell. I was admitted to hospital for four days and had to undergo emergency surgery to have the band removed.

I also paid for two years of aftercare, but in my experience I received little to no aftercare or support throughout the process. Following everything I went through, I requested a refund, but this was refused, which added to my disappointment.

This has been a physically, emotionally and financially difficult experience. I can only speak from my own experience, but I would not recommend this company based on how my case was handled.

I had my gastric sleeve may 2026. From the fist contact with tonic through to now they have been fantastic and very helpful

I was 57 and completely depressed due to reaching 28 stone and waiting for my life to end.
Then I spoke to Tonic and it was so easy.
Had my operation on 15th September 2022. Everyone was friendly and put me at my ease.
Is it easy....no...but nothing worthwhile every is.
I am now 61 and under 13 stone and loving life.
