EXTRACTS:

My father, Alberic Fiennes, who has died aged 75, was a pioneering surgeon. He championed the idea that severe obesity – far from being a “moral failing” – is a physiological and psychological disease requiring medical intervention….

Alberic ultimately specialised in weight-loss surgery and in 2000 founded the current bariatric service at St George’s hospital. In this field he worked alongside his wife, Louise (nee Bidlake), a nurse…

He was born Alberic Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes in Bakewell, Derbyshire, the youngest of five children of Sir Maurice Fiennes, managing director of Davy and United Engineering Company, and Sylvia Finlay, the daughter of a British army officer. Alberic was educated at the Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz, Switzerland, where he learned to speak Swiss German, German, French, Italian and Romansh. He also became an expert skier and enjoyed this sport for life….

Alberic is survived by Louise, whom he married in 1985, his daughters, Emily and me, and by his grandson, William [not in DPB online].
