Hi I'm new to this site, and have decided that a gastric sleeve is the way for me to go.

I will be paying for this and don't know where to go. I'm based in Scotland and have been wondering about going to Europe as the cost seems to be up to 50% cheaper.

Has anyone had their surgery done in Europe and if so what were your experiences and where would you recommend?

Thanks

I live in Scotland and had mine done in Belgium....can highly recommend Begum Surgery Services....I had the sleeve too. Price included procedure, hotel for 5 nights for me and a guest...taxi to and from hotel. Was top notch the entire time. There is support every month in edinburgh or glasgow. They take turns.

I have had no complications. It cost €6500 which I think was £4600. Very happy. Lots of UK people use them. Met four from Ireland and two from England while there.

Thank you Sam42. I had thought of Belgium, but had looked at Prague. Will have a look at flight information.

I will be watching how you get on. I phoned a clinic in Prague and all the tests are done there its 5 days stay all inclusive and Hubby can stay in the same room as me. Will hopefully be booking early in the new year

I went to Belgium in October through ECFS and am thrilled with the service and attention that I received. I looked into going to Prague but decided on somewhere a little closer to home. I met the guy from Belgian Surgery Services and the clinical representative from ECFS and ECFS won hands down. The whole thing was organised down to the last detail and I couldn't have been happier with my treatment and follow ups. I am a very happy sleever who wishes she'd had it done years ago. By the way, have you noticed that it was on the news just before Christmas how much Bariatric surgery could be saving our hard up NHS? As I am wasn't high enough in the BMI stakes I obviously couldn't get my surgery done on the NHS. When I told my GP what I had organised he was not approving and suggested that I might like to try 'portion control' first!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmmmm.........that half baked solution hasn't worked for the majority of my dieting career (roughly 45 years) so why would it work now!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Guys,

Looking at Prague for surgery. Have been recommended New Leaf weight loss. Selkie, can I ask which one you looked into?

Beautiful Beings. But going to do a bit more research over the next couple of weeks before deciding which one to go with

Hi,
