Choosing KCM Clinic for my gastric sleeve surgery was truly the best decision I have ever made and money very well spent. After 2 1/2
years of waiting at the Homerton and feeling humiliated at every appointment when I had not lost weight, I was ready to give up (as they
did me) had I not joined the KCM Facebook group and monitored the trials and celebrations of pre and post op patients. Reading about
their shared experiences helped me to choose KCM and trust that I would have the support from the Bariatric team as well as the group on
my return to the U.K. I cannot fault KCM’s client/patient services from the medical questionnaires before and after arrival to the
extensive tests done prior the op. The whole team were excellent, the language not a problem and at no time did I feel neglected even
though I travelled alone. Since my operation on 10th June I have lost almost 35 Kgs. Although it can be hard work thinking about what
food I can prepare and how my stomach will tolerate it on any given day as it changes constantly, every kilo lost is worth the effort.
Critics of so called ‘medical tourism’ should review centres of excellence such as KCM before portraying ‘going abroad’ for
surgery in such a negative light. Thank you KCM and a special thank you to the Facebook Group for helping me to feel part of a
community!
