Patient stories from all over Ireland.

I had a robotic SADI-S done by Dr Robb in Blackrock back in May. It has literally been a life changing operation. 6 months later I have lost over 70Kg (155lbs or 11 stone 1lb) i have gone from wearing 8xl tops and 46 inch waist to 2-3xl and 38 inch waist. I have gone from someone who struggled to climb one flight of stairs to doing hill climbing and hiking every weekend and easily walking 20 miles and I have come off all blood pressure medications since. This is only in 6 months, i still have weight to lose but I couldn’t be happier with how everything has gone. I’ve had no side effects bar not being able to eat as much. The first 2-3 months take some adjustment but now it’s pretty much life as normal (but better)

I can not recommend Mr Robb and the team at Blackrock WeightCare enough! I had a bypass in the Hermitage on 21st Nov 2023 and 1 year later I have lost 50.3kg. Life changing treatment.

October 2021 I had my first appointment with Dr Robb. From the moment I picked up the phone and spoke to Deborah I knew I had made the right choice. She was so warm and friendly on the phone instantly putting me at ease. When I went to the appointment Dr Robb suggested what surgery would suit me best and told me to think about it and make the decision I was happy with. I met Emer the dietican who was just so amazing. She spoke to me about the prep needed for surgery and the road ahead. She guided me through my journey and was always at the end of the phone or email to help me. I had my surgery February 2022 and it changed my life. I cannot express how amazing the team is and my only regret is not doing it sooner. I have lost the weight but not only that I have gained a new lease of life. I’m in the gym weight training and I just love it. My kids and husband said I’m a different person both mentally and physically. Thank you to Dr Robb and all the team at the Blackrock Clinic.

Gastric surgery preformed in Ireland is an often-overlooked option for those seeking weight-related assistance. I was referred to Mr. Robb when getting advice on other weight related matters. I was previously unaware of the comprehensive support and services available domestically in Ireland for gastric surgery.

These people change lives! The transformation this surgery generated in me is just amazing. And I’m not talking only about physical transformation (I lost 79kg, 12.4 stones, in just less than a year and six months, and maintaining it!), but the energy that I have and the feeling I have about myself, the rediscovery of myself, the fact that I started loving myself again, taking care of myself with a vitality I haven’t felt since I was 20.

From my first day in that waiting room, I knew that I was in the right hands. From my starting point, I have now lost over 10st or 63kg. The pains I thought I would have to live with are now gone and I am starting to live again…I could not be happier with how my journey has developed. It is not always easy and there is trial and error but overall going with Dr William Robb was one of the best decisions of my life.

My weight was becoming so hard to carry and my blood tests showed I was moving into diabetes. I had my surgery in the Hermitage Clinic, and I have lost 5 stones in 6 months. I’m on half of my blood pressure tablets and should be off them when I lose all of the weight. Also, I have stopped taking the statin. Walking and moving are so much easier… I would not hesitate to do this.

From the very first phone call, I had found exactly what I was looking for. This is a weight loss clinic with a difference, not only do they understand your battle, but they genuinely care and listen. The aftercare was equally as important as the surgery itself. I cannot recommend the team highly enough. It was by far the best decision I ever made!

In 2019, now 116 kg (18.2 stone), I started looking into bariatric surgery options with the help and support of my family and partner, and at the end of that year, I met the lovely Deborah and had my first appointment with Mr Robb & Emer. To say I immediately felt like I would be in great hands would be an understatement. I am now 33, almost 3 years post-op and I can’t thank this team enough. My life has changed in ways I didn’t expect and I couldn’t even imagine. I have lost 60kg (9.4 stone) since the surgery. I began exercising as soon as I could to help the process, the skin and to build muscle and I am currently 58kg (9 stone).

My GP sent a referral to Dr William Robb. This moment changed my life forever! From my first appointment in September 2021, Dr Robb and his team were amazing! From talking to Dr Robb, Emer, Niamh and the dietician team to Dr Robb’s secretary Deborah, I was made feel so comfortable and supported. The aftercare of surgery was just phenomenal… my experience from start to finish was next to none! I cannot recommend Dr Robb and his team enough! I am now living my life instead of just existing in it!
