Patient stories from all over Ireland.

Hi, my name is Ali El Messaoudi, and I underwent the SADI-S procedure. My starting weight was 177.8kg (27.99st / 392lbs).

I’ve struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. I’d never really considered surgery as an option, as it seemed so drastic. But after years of failed diets,

OK, I will start at the beginning. After a long struggle with pain, inflammation and frustration with the healthcare system in Ireland, a very kind doctor (Prof. Griffin) referred me to Mr Robb.

I had my gastric bypass performed by Mr William Robb 10 months ago. I am now 38 KG lighter with another 11 kg to go! I had been recently diagnosed as diabetic,

Definitely recommend doctor William Rob and all his amazing team, they are amazing from the beginning till all the process post op,

Hi, just want to share my story. I got my bypass surgery at the end of January 2025. It is one of the best things I have ever done for myself.

Age 50 I had struggled with weight issues for most of adult life, I had lived with chronic back and knee pain for years and had given up hope of feeling better.

I cannot commend nor recommend Mr Robb highly enough. From our first meeting where he laid out all my options, he has been firmly in my corner.

I had my Mini Gastric Bypass with Dr. Robb at Blackrock Weight Care in June 2024, and it has completely changed my life. At the time of my surgery, I weighed 26 stone, and I’m now down to 14 stone 8 lbs, about 160 lbs loss!

I had surgery with Dr Robb in July ‘24. I was 26st 1lb and now weigh 16st 12lbs. It was torture for the first six months mentally, but now it is the best decision I have ever made.
