Hi. I have a consultation with him on 2nd April. I have spoken to his assistant and asked how/why they can charge less than everyone else. She said its because they use an NHS hospital and not a private hospital. He does also do surgery in private hospitals, but they cost 10k. He does Nhs and private surgeries.
A colleague of mine had a sleeve with him. He did have complications, but could not recommend him enough (he did already have other health issues when he went in). When I asked his assistant about my friend (I did not tell her his name), she said 'that must have been Alan, he's the only one we've had with that complication'. It kinda reassured me that she remembered the guys name after 3 years! It made me think they obviously don't have many issues, if he is the only one in 3 years!
He doesn't regret it at all. He has kept most of his weight off. And he is not exactly good! He drinks quite a bit.
Thats pretty much the extent of my knowledge. I
Plan to have my surgery beginning of June.
