Bariatric Surgery Clinics Worldwide

Aida Masdeu has been the clinical co-ordinator for 3/5 of my gender-affirming operations, and I followed her founding Safe Rebirth for my most recent voice masculinization surgery (Type 3 Thyroplasty). This isn't through having a bad experience with any other co-ordinators, it's just that Aida is so damn good at what she does that after meeting her that I instantly trusted her with the future of my medical transition. If you're reading this and are interested in step-by-step of my Safe Rebirth experience I'll include this below, but please know that Safe Rebirth completely understands that gender-affirming surgeries aren't something clinical to 'just get done', and they don't treat these life-changing procedures as anything mundane (as you'll see a lot in England). Aida and Oscar are legendary-level allies, celebrating trans joy with the community. You can absolutely feel the love in their labour. Thank you so so much to the team for helping me to finally see myself after six years of struggling <3 When you've decided on a surgeon, Aida will liaise with the clinic. My initial consultation was done over Whatsapp with Aida translating if there are any communication barriers. I had my own questions prepped, but she had queries about my welfare and comfortability that I hadn't even thought of. You have the freedom to request a certain month, and they'll get back to you with available dates and payment information. I cannot stress enough that if even if Aida herself isn't nursing you, she WILL take care of you! She would always check in to make sure the clinic were communicating with me fully and transparently, that I was being offered the post-op therapies that I needed and paid for, and how I was feeling counting down towards the operation. She even checked in with me when I landed at the airport and again at the hotel, helping me navigate public transport in cases where I was unsure. I was travelling alone, but even at opposite ends of Spain Aida was making sure I was safe. I booked a hotel that Oscar recommended, and even though I paid for my room I still felt like I was being spoilt. Perfect location to walk to the hospital, the beach, the old town - it was honestly like a holiday. The staff there were also incredibly accommodating when I couldn't speak for the second half of my stay. Oscar gave me some recommendations of things to see tailored to my interests like art galleries and museums, and they were places I wouldn't have found on my own! The pre-op appointment, operation, and post-op recovery? Easy. If it's weird to say the experience has been enjoyable, then maybe I'm a total weirdo. All medical staff I've met in Spain are so friendly, assured, and relaxed - you're really put into good hands with the clinics you're offered. Aida would keep in communication until discharge, again to see you home safely, and now two weeks post-op we're still sharing in the excitement of how my voice is developing. Getting estimates, deciding on where to stay, knowing how to travel, struggling with language barriers, knowing what clinics are trustworthy, feeling anxious or unsure or even scared of what to expect, circumstances of being unable to trust anyone to rely on when going through such vulnerable yet monumental changes - all become non-issues with Safe Rebirth, and it's a service providing such needed compassion along the way too. I've done it on my own, I've done it through other services, but Safe Rebirth ensured that this huge moment in my life was stress-free and a happy experience :)

When they talk about The best doctor they mean this one. I will recommend him when u need to do any bariatric procedure did mine yesterday and don’t believe that I did a procedure. No pain and they are so efficient with attending to you. Thank u doc

I had gastric sleeve surgery, and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Dr. Ahmed Yousry is excellent at what he does. The hospital was clean, with top-notch facilities, caring nurses, and a dedicated dietician. Everything was so quick and easy.

I had abdominal wall incisional hernia which was caused by a previous surgery done by a gynaecologist for my son’s birth. I had severe pain in my entire abdomen and had to undergo the abdominal wall incisional hernia repair surgery on 27th May 2022. From admittance through to discharge the very next day, I cannot fault the professionalism and concern of all the staff. In particular, a big thank you of the course to the Surgeon (Dr Sohaib Khan). The surgeon explained the procedure and answered my all queries during pre operation visit. A thorough professional surgeon who was able to perform laparoscopic hernia repair while all other doctors were telling me it would be an open wound surgery. I was able to walk within 6 hours after surgery, the few tiny incisions, which were invisible within a week post surgery, didn’t hurt. Then the best part that I was able go home the next day without any discomfort and repercussions. The surgeon and his team was very caring, very reassuring and utterly tuned into the human condition. My sincere thanks to all who looked after me so well especially to Dr Sohaib whose wonderful skills, thoughtfulness and dedication towards his profession saved me from having a big scar and painful surgery. Thank you All.

Dr Mesut Caynak and the team at Medstar are fantastic. I felt I could not have been looked after any better. Even though the nurses did not speak much English I was able to make myself understood. They are a great team and do great work. I had a gastric sleeve in February.

I highly recommend Dr Ravi Rao. I am 3 months post-op (gastric sleeve) and feel amazing, just over 22kg down. Ravi provided information on all aspects from being overweight to the weight loss surgery process and deciding what procedure was right for me. He is a very straight talker and doesn't sugarcoat anything, you have to want the results to get them and be committed to doing the work. I had only two days where I felt I was 'recovering' from the operation and was back to my normal day-to-day activities after that, with no painkillers, very minimal pain and just following the instructions given. Now I'm at the gym for 5 days and active recovery for 2 days and feel amazing, it's what I wanted to do before losing the weight but couldn't. If you're thinking of doing this you couldn't find a better Surgeon.

I came to an instant laser clinic as a last resort. I had severe plantar warts on my heal. About 35 warts in one spot on the heel. I had roughly 5 treatments, once a month. I had laser at other places however the laser was dialled up for my condition at an instant laser clinic. The clinician said to me, “we will get rid of all them, we may need to hit them harder, but it will be a successful result”. The end result was a perfect heel. Yes, I have scar tissue but every single wart is gone. This is a professional establishment and although the treatment was completed 3 years ago, to this date I have had no reassurance. 100% success. Yes, it is painful but it’s definitely worth it. Thankyou Instant laser clinic.
