About Mrs Kalpana Devalia

Mrs Kalpana Devalia is a leading London-based consultant bariatric surgeon, with more than 10 years of experience. Mrs Devalia practises at the Cleveland Clinic and Portland Place Outpatient Centre, both in central London. She has been a consultant surgeon at the Homerton University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust since 2011. Some of her areas of expertise include bariatric (weight loss) surgery, treatment for gallstones, acid reflux and hernia procedures. Mrs Devalia is also an expert on Semaglutide, a medication used for pharmalogical weight loss. This treatment may be more suitable for patients who are not keen on weight loss surgery, and who suffer from at least one weight related condition. This treatment may also be exceptionally offered to people with a BMI of 30.0 kg/mg² to 34.9 kg/m². This is a part of a specialist weight management service with multidisciplinary input. Mrs Devalia has a special clinical interest in surgery for severe obesity, gastrointestinal surgery and advanced laparoscopic surgery. She is one of the UK’s most trusted bariatric surgeons, having performed over 1000 laparoscopic procedures over the course of her career, such laparoscopic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. Mrs Devalia has received extensive training across the UK, India and Belgium. She graduated with an MBBS from the University of Mumbai in 1989, before going on to qualify with a FRCS (Edin) at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and a FRCS (Glas) at the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow, both in 2000. Mrs Devalia then received her FRCS (Gen Surg) in 2011. When Mrs Devalia is not treating patients, she carries out research into a wide range of bariatric treatments, and has published numerous articles in peer-reviewed journals.
