“ I had a balloon placement in May 2024, my patient adviser Jodie was brilliant right from the start of my enquiry. She answered all my questions and concerns, and kept in touch throughout my journey. I have lost almost 2 stone in 14 weeks and have been supported by all the team involved since my placement. ”

“ Great level of customer service and care. From my initial call back, conversations with Sally, dietician, pre op nurse and of course Dr John Robinson, the whole team have been excellent. I have the greatest of thanks for them all for being the start of my journey to getting healthy with my weightloss. ”

“ I've been dealing with Sally so far on my weightloss journey and she has made everything so easy to understand and is such a great help. ”

“ Just like to say how Nic really helped me through my weight loss. I had a gastric band fitted 2 years ago at a size 22 I am now a size 8/10 and Nicola was there for me every step of the way, for help and advice I would highly recommend her to anyone whom is thinking of getting this procedure, as it's a life changing decision. Nicola is there every day at the end of a phone to help encourage and support and getting support is so important. I started off at nearly 17 stone but weigh in at 9 stone 9 lbs today I would just like to say a massive thank you and I look forward to all you help and support in the future. ”

“ Nic has superb surgical skills, She is very knowledgeable and will hold your hand throughout your journey. You need to be in safe hands, both physically and emotionally on this journey, and you could have no better guardian than this lady. ”

“ Making the decision to have a Gastric Band fitted was the best thing I've ever done. I've lost around 5 stone in total and my life has been transformed! It was really scary at the beginning. I don't think I could have done it without the constant support of Nicola and her team. It's surprising that even today, there isn't a real reputable online forum where you can get all the information you need surrounding your band and what to do if there are any problems. ”

“ At 4ft 10 inches and weighing in at 14st 7lb it’s easy to see that I had to make some changes so I’d like to share with you my story As I started out on my journey back in July 2015 I could never dream I would come as far as I have today and all the wonderful help and support I have received from a variety of people from the dieticians and Nikki my favourite nurse (ha ha ha) who has helped me come along way. ”
