Hi Sarah, I am 6 days post surgery with mr El-Hasani at chelsfield park hospital, although i got the sleeve. you are soo lucky to live so close by as i had to travel from northern ireland. I found my care at chelsfield hospital was excellent, Mr El-hasani was very approachable always asking if i had any questions, I had been just a little concerned by this as many said his bedside manner was poor, but i think they many not have met many surgons as most are quite abrupt, however i found him approachable, my surgery went very smoothly no problems as of yet, fingers crossed, he called in somtimes twice daily if you have any questions. the rest of the staff were equally brilliant, my only complaint was when you were eventually allowed liquid food it was so watery and poor taste, i think its our punishment for being fat, and the staff are quite embarrased by having to give you it, however at this stage you are not fit for much and as you live so close by the chances are you will have only two nights in hospital i had three. so all in all I can't reccommend mr el-hasani high enough so good luck on your journey, and to all who have surgery soon best wishes
