I was well taken care of from the time I arrived and felt very safe in the hands of the surgeon and the nurses.Felt that they were very
thorough in their examinations before hand.
It's been 2 months now and I've *"only" lost 2 kilos, and it is hard work. This is not
just an easy fix- it's important to understand that not all bodies react the same way. I am happy I had the surgery and I have not lost
faith in achieving the goals I have set - but it might take a little longer than expected. I have not had any of the side effects many
others experience, "dumping", loss of hair, vitamin deficiency etc etc.
I would happily recommend this clinic to anyone.
Client Response:Response from head surgeon, Dr Ilmar Kaur:
“This has been a challenging case as patient had a history of primary gastric bypass surgery few years ago in Norway. After excellent initial weight loss she became to regain slowly despite healthy dietary habits and high level physical activity. Obviously the patient was unsatisfied with results and searched for revisional surgery in Tallinn. There was no gastric pouch enlargement or stomal dilatation and in such cases the distalization of gastric bypass (making it more malabsorbtive) is a method of choice at our centre.
It has been 2,5 months since surgery and with preoperative diet patient has lost 6 kg, that can be considered satisfactory after revisional gastric bypass surgery. Weight loss continues and it is worth mentioning, that slower weight loss after revisional surgery is rather a rule than exception.
Patient is very motivated and hard-working and I am absolutely sure her weight loss goals will become true.”
