I had struggled with my weight since I was a teenager. My GP and an endocrinologist both recommended Mr William Robb. Eleven months after my gastric bypass and I have lost over 9 stone! Caring for my 5-year-old son has become much easier. I am off all medication that I had been on before the operation. I’ve gone from a size 24/26 to a size 14 and I can now buy clothes I like as opposed to buying what is in my size.
I first saw Mr Robb in August 2017 and I immediately got a very good feeling from him. He explained the different types of bariatric surgery available to me and which one he thought would be most effective based on my history. I found the multidisciplinary approach very good and it helped me to make an informed decision about going forward and having the surgery. The surgery has given me a new outlook on life and most importantly I am able to do activities with my 5-year-old son that I could not do before bariatric surgery.
To say that this is the best decision that I have ever made is perhaps the most honest comment I can make. Mr Robb explained the bariatric surgical process in a gentle, simple and incredibly understanding manner. The ongoing support and follow-up have been tremendous and very reassuring to know you only need to pick up the phone and there is always someone there to assist. I have no hesitation in recommending Mr Robb and his multidisciplinary team for Bariatric surgery. I have lost 56kgs in 11 months which is just wonderful.
On my 51st Birthday, I weighed 144kg, that’s 22stone 6lbs. A BMI of 46. I was developing blood pressure issues and was borderline diabetic. Having been introduced to some former triple XLs abroad I secured a consultation with William Robb. He was informative, gentle and refreshingly non-judgemental. He also informed me that the operation could be covered by my VHI plan. Nine months after surgery I had lost 9 stone, 39% of my body weight and my BMI was 28. This operation saved my life.
