My weight had been a struggle for as long as I can remember. From a young age, it affected not just my confidence, but eventually my health too. After being on waiting lists in Galway for years i was sent to Blackrock, Feeling hopeless and unsure if things would ever change The Blackrock Clinic changed everything.
When the opportunity for surgery through Blackrock Clinic came up, I was honestly overwhelmed — I couldn’t believe it was finally happening. From the very beginning, the entire team treated me with such kindness, professionalism, and understanding. They made what felt like an impossible journey feel safe and achievable.
Every step — from meeting the dietitian and the psychologist to sitting down with the surgeon Mr Robb — felt like I was finally being heard and supported. The operation itself and the aftercare were nothing short of amazing.
Now, just over 15 months later, I’ve lost almost 9 stone. More importantly, I feel like I’ve gained a new life. I feel healthier, more confident, and genuinely happy in myself again.
I can’t thank the team at Blackrock enough — they changed my life. For anyone considering gastric surgery and looking for care that truly comes from the heart, I couldn’t recommend them more.
