Weight-loss patients who had gastric band operations performed by a top surgeon face going under the knife again after claims some of the procedures may cause complications.
A private hospital and the country’s largest health board have contacted dozens of people who were fitted with bands by Professor David Galloway over more than a decade.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and Nuffield Health have had to contact people who were operated on by Galloway, a former president of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, before he retired in 2015.
