Gastric Bypass Belgium

After speaking to Judith JobIing at Gastric Band Support Manchester (who I also highly recommend and who has been doing my fills for a couple of years) chose to go to Belgium for a replacement Gastric Band as mine developed a leak. She recommended Obesity Solutions and got in touch with Chris Deprez the Patient Care Manager on my behalf and he contacted me straight away. The process was very smooth and I had a couple of calls and Zoom meetings with him where he explained everything and answered all of my questions. It was such a different experience from the place I initially used for my Band and then subsequently for a breast reduction. I used The Hospital Group then changed its name I believe to Transform Hospital Group. (I would recommend people do not use this hospital, I have put reviews on their website.) I arrived in Belgium with my wife who was allowed to stay in the hotel provided for me at no extra cost. We were collected at the airport and dropped off at our hotel. Any other travel to and from appointments etc was provided in the cost and the driver even collected us from the train station after a day out in Brugge. All my appointments were on time and hassle-free. The morning of the operation I was collected at my hotel and dropped off at the Hospital at 7 am. By 7.45 am I was in the theatre and the operation was finished by 8.30 am. The nursing, admin and surgical staff were fantastic, they could not do enough for me. I was collected from the hospital at 1 pm and taken back to my hotel. I ended up just having a port replacement as that was the part that was leaking. Chris had explained that the Surgeon may do that after the leak was identified on an x-ray the day before. The pain was minimal straight after the operation and has virtually gone now after 1 week. I have had regular contact with Chris since the operation and getting back to England. I have an app on which I log my ongoing weight and I have direct access to Chris anytime. It also is full of other info regarding aftercare, diets, what to do etc. I am honestly overwhelmed with thanks to Chris, his team & the medical staff in Belgium. I also received a refund as the operation was not as big as I first thought. If I had to go for any further treatment, given the choice I would choose Obesity Solutions every time. Thank you so much, everyone.

Straight from my enquiry & booking, everything was smooth sailing! I opted for the next-day surgery. Any queries I had in the run-up, Cindy would respond via email or call me back within a couple of hours, and she was always very helpful. I had a video consultation with my surgeon, Dr J Parys, and he was very informative and advised me that the in face consultation would be more in-depth, which it was! I went for my in face consultation on Thursday, and my surgery was on Friday. In the face consultation with Dr Parys, we discussed my current implants, my new implants and size and any questions I had were answered. I was provided with instructions prior to surgery. The day of surgery, I only waited about 15 minutes in reception before being taken into my private room, where I was provided with aftercare and instructions to get ready for surgery. Not long after that, a nurse came in and took me upstairs and onto a bed whilst I waited for my lovely anaesthetists! (Yana and Dr Van Rhys, they were so friendly and calming!) What felt like a blink of an eye - I woke up from surgery, then after about 10/15 minutes of being monitored, I was wheeled back to my private room, where I could start to feel more human. I was provided food and drink and painkillers, and made sure I was okay to leave in my own time. When I was ready to leave, I was provided further aftercare advice and paperwork to read when I got home. I am now 4 days post-op op and I can safely say I would highly recommend the Wellness Kliniek and Dr J Parys! I know I still have a long road of recovery ahead, but as this isn’t my first time. I can safely say I am very happy with the results so far!
