Any experience of Mr Sirgusand at THG

[Tracey1404]

Grateful for your views on this surgeon - he will do my banding if I decide to go ahead. Thanks for the advice.

He is very good I had mine done by him

Hi Tracey, Congrats on your decision I picked him as my surgeon last year but chickened out. So this year after a few more consultations I went with Mr. El-Hasani and could not be happier, was banded at Dolan Park last saturday.
Even this time round I wanted Mr. Surgusand but could not get a consultation date soon enough and went with Mr. El-Husani instead and it must have been fate, because it turned out the best surgeon for me.
But I do think your choice is a great one, and was my first choice last year also.

Good luck

Hi Tracey, I'm starting diet tomorrow ready for op on 27th July, feeling very excited but also scared x

Also 27th also scared!!

Wow that's 3 of us at Dolan on 27th (we'll hopefully be all done this time next week!!!) How are you doing with the diet Queenofbelfastcity?

Caroline I have been a bit on/ off with the diet... basically started a 1000 calorie version about two weeks ago to "see if I could do it" have managed to lose a few pounds on that so I emailed THG (sally?) with copy of diet asking if it was ok to carry on.... no response.... I then emailed the dietitians email in back of the book.... no response...... the diet was from an NHS trust and especially designed to shrink liver before surgery........ In between times had tried the milk diet for a day... went back to 1000 calorie version next day.

The milk diet and I don't get on very well, have started it again today with only 6 days till surgery having followed the other one. Now that I have finished work am really hoping it gets easier... I have lost about 7lbs in last two weeks so hoping that plus 6 days milk diet is enough!!

How are you managing?

I am hoping to be a day case at Dolan Park... but not sure yet wait and see

I had my surgery with him everything went fine. Although you only really speak to him twice, once just before surgery to say hello etc then after to check your ok. He seemed nice though!x

Mr S did my bi pass. He is just great, so reassuring,such a dry sense of humour. So professional. Would recommend him totally.
