Hi guys new to this forum and I am at the research stage. Looking for experience from uk gastric sleevers who have gone abroad to have surgery, how are you all getting on would you recommend your surgeon?

I will have to be self funded and the price in uk is really high been looking into dr Chris from belgium he seems to have had good reviews from banders but nothing from those who have had sleeves done from him

Any guidance and help would be greatly appreciated
