I had my surgery in Egypt with Dr Islam on 5th July this year.
Dr Islam and his team are first class in their field of bariatric surgery. After researching various countries (including the UK where I live) I found that the surgeon with the best reputation was Dr Islam in Egypt.
I contacted the clinic and had the most helpful patient coordinator Mayan. Nothing was too much trouble for her, including the endless questions I had. I gave all my medical history and current medication list to Mayan who passed this to Dr Islam. I also asked his opinion of which surgery would be better for me long term. Dr Islam advised the mini gastric bypass would be better for me and I trusted his opinion.
I booked my surgery for early June but due to work commitments had to delay this until the beginning of July.
The treatment I received from all of Dr Islam’s team was impeccable, from Valeed the driver, also Mayan, Fatma – his assistant nurse who visited me in my hotel prior to my surgery, to change my medication to those more suitable for surgery. They were all so caring, helpful and thoughtful. On the day of surgery, Dr Islam & the anaesthetist on his team came to visit me and checked my weight and reassured me that everything would be fine.
I can honestly say I was so relaxed going down to surgery, I surprised myself. Once I got into the operating room Dr Islam and his team where there to greet me smiling and reminding me that this was the start of my new life.
I had my surgery at 4pm and was up and walking the very next morning. There is an element of pain (after all you’ve had major surgery, but this was managed very well too. I was checked on regularly (every 2 hours) by both senior doctors & the nurses. Since then, I have not had ANY problems. I’ve followed all the advise given to me by Dr Islam & the nutritionist Dr Riad and am perfectly happy with my recovery.
Dr Islam has put together the best team & they all perform their roles excellently.
If you really want the best cre & service, you wont find a better team to perform your surgery & care for you.
