After 12 months of researching a Gastric Sleeve and trying to find the best surgeon, I found Dr T and he definitely was THE BEST! I was very sceptical about travelling abroad for surgery and I didn’t tell many people as I knew they were concerned about me travelling to Egypt for the surgery. Well, 2yrs on and I happily tell everyone that I went to Egypt and that Dr T is the best surgeon there is. I’ve had several operations in the UK and dealt with various consultants and the care received in Egypt was by far the best. From the very beginning when I enquired about the surgery, the communication was amazing, very clear and very straightforward. I got booked up and waited for my time to come. On arrival at Cairo airport, the driver arrived and took me to the clinic, crazy roads compared to the UK but I still felt safe and our driver stopped and went to get us some drinks from the shop for the journey!! On arrival at the hospital, which is immaculate, I was shown to my room and told what would happen; tests etc.
The nurses were so lovely and I had no communication problems with them despite English not being their first language. They can’t do enough for you. Then I met the main man, what a lovely man! So reassuring and I felt at ease immediately as we chatted away. Nerves just disappeared. Post-op, the pain was managed really well. When I got discharged and went to my hotel, I was quite unwell with sickness, I felt awful. Dr T kept in touch regularly and answered any messages so quickly. As my sickness continued he told me to speak to the hotel reception who would arrange for an anti-sickness injection. A guy from the pharmacy came to my room and gave me the injection. I couldn’t believe the amazing service. I flew home and again Dr T always responded to my messages very quickly. I don’t think he ever stops working! After each set of blood, 3 months/6 months, and then yearly, I send him my results, and he looks over them and tells me his thoughts! I have lost almost 10 stone and I have been maintaining for a while now, fluctuating by the odd few pounds. My life has changed forever and I can now do all the things I’ve missed out on with my kids! I am forever grateful to Dr T and his amazing team.
