finding a good surgeon/clinic



Recommended Posts

hi, im new and will gratefully accept all the help i can get. if anyone was kind enough to be a buddy/mentor that would be fab!

could anyone let me know of a good surgeon or clinic that they would recommend, i dont mind if its here or abroad aslong as its safe and you felt and were safe. also has anyone used the uk s whygoabroad for their op and did it go well. i cant even get them to return my phonecalls which seems strange. any info/advice would be gratefully recieved as i ve made the decision to go ahead and the sooner the better for me and now just want to get the knowledge to go to the best place and be safe. i could really use all the advice and the benefit of peoples experiences so i go to the best place.

thanks guys x

Hi, I can't offer too much advise on who to choose but all I can say is that I chose to stay close to home with local support and unlimited fills for 2 years with Gateway. I was banded on the 27th September 2010 by Dr Ackroyd in Sheffield, it all went really well, lovely hospital and helpful hospital staff who made me feel really comfortable. My Gateway consultant has contacted me every day since being home by telephone and talked me through the early stages. I think you have to look at all the options, I have read lots of threads where people have gone abroad and been really happy, for me I have a family and did not want to be too far away from them. I hope you find whats right for you, I am sure it will be a success whatever you choose.

Good luck...:drool:

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
