I didn't have CVTS but had to wear compression socks and give myself injections for first 5 days...thought it would be bad but didn't hurt as was just fat. I think mine cost around £4800 in total...but took my mum over with me and paid her flight as well.

I went to the Czech Republic with New Leaf and was really happy with them! The nurses did the injections (it was all part of the price), had it done Feb 2nd.

Not the same doctor...I didn't research mine at all other than Belgium Surgery Services (check there) but I was very impressed with my care...better than NHS...it is a competitive market so they need to do a good job. It will be fine. Gears and doubts creep in. Just believe this is the right thing for you and ask questions....mine was all done through email...didn't even meet surgeon until day of surgery.

Hi sam!

Can I ask you how much did you pay for the surgery?

I am considering having a sleeve done.As I live in Brussels, I went for consultation at one of the hospitals here and doctor said it would cost 12.000 eur Little too rich for my blood. I am reeding here people having it done at allmost half a price...

I'm going with Beautiful Beings, I fly to Prague but it's about a two hour journey from there but they collect you an take you back to the airport. It cost me around £4200 plus £120 in flights from M/cr. I didn't have to ay £70 for my CVT injections as my GP is going to do them for me.

Hi RosieCheeks!

Can I ask you how much time did it take from the time you cintacted them till you got your operation date?

If you're willing to go a little further out I paid 4510 euros with New Leaf if money is an issue.

Overall I was very happy with my treatment, I really couldn't fault it. The nurses were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. However, I wouldn't go back to that particular clinic simply because I found the journey home gruelling. The clinic is in Brno, a two-hour drive from Prague airport so I was up at 5am and didn't reach my home, which is ten minutes from Manchester Airport, until 1.30pm, I was completely exhausted and thought it was maybe just a tad too much after a major op. If you think that isn't a problem for you then I have no hesitation in recommending.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
