GASTRIC BYPASS POLAND

“

“A friend of mine who struggled greatly with her weight, as I did, told me about gastric banding. She had researched many surgeons in both UK and abroad. Soon she was booked up and away to Belgium for her op. Being someone who had many years of yo-yo dieting and joining weight loss clubs I watched her steadily losing her weight and being transformed before my eyes, I was now so jealous. I started questioning her about her experience and weighing up the pros and cons of going abroad for surgery. (I still can't find any cons)

Eight months later I was having a consultation with Chris in the Edinburgh clinic. He was very thorough in going over everything, how it all worked, what to expect, best place to stay etc. Three weeks later, on the 21st June 2007, I was off to Belgium for my own gastric band. I was a bit nervous being away from home but the worry was short lived. I was completely put at ease straight away at the hospital the next morning.

Some people worry about aftercare when going abroad for surgery. Well, the surgeon is in the UK every Thursday and gives patients phone numbers where he can be contacted at all times. Chris recommends a barium swallow x ray is done each year just to check everything is well with the band. This is not practice in the UK which is probably why Chris' patients tend not to have difficulties.

“

The surgeon has the lowest complication rate for his banding and has done thousands of these operations while it is still a relatively new procedure in the UK. His vast experience and bedside manner are very reassuring to patients and I have already passed friends on to him who have also since been to Belgium for the band. In the past 3 years I have met many of Chris' UK patients and have made some wonderful friends. This surgery has changed my life and I am so grateful to Chris and his team for this. I have lost 6 stone and feel I’ve been handed my life back.”
