Mr Ian Calloway, MBBS, FRCS
Consultant Bariatric Surgeon
Mr Ian Calloway (MBBS, FRCS) is a consultant bariatric and upper gastrointestinal surgeon who specialises in weight-loss surgery, sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass. He looks after the clinical content of The Gastric Sleeve Guide.
He makes sure the site has candidacy, the procedure, its risks, recovery, and the long-term outcomes right, measured against the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS), NICE, and the NHS.
His review backs the accuracy of the writing, nothing more personal than that. It isn’t medical advice for you and forms no doctor-patient relationship; weight-loss surgery is a decision for you and your own surgical team, who can assess you and follow you up for the long haul.
