I had my Lap Band procedure done on August 24,2011...
Provider Review
Dr. Khaled Ayyash is an excellent surgeon. He takes the time to sit down with you and fully explain the procedure and what to expect after the surgery. He is a straight shooter and tells you like it is. If you are NOT willing to follow the follow up care and instructions he will be the first to tell you, you will fail and do not bother wasting your money. He has over 30 years experience as a surgeon and has done literally hundreds of these procedures. He knows what he is doing and is well experienced at it, which was very important to me as this was my first ever surgery and I wanted to ensure that the surgeon was the best I could find and I did. The hospital itself is 2 years old, moved into new location from old hospital, everything is new and clean and the staff there are very knowledgeable and helpful, not something I have been used to seeing in Kuwait. this was the best place. I checked our Al Salam and London hospitals but found both places lacking compared to Dar Al Shifa in cleanliness, doctors and cost. I went in to meet with Dr. Ayyash on Thursday and was scheduled for my procedure on the following Tuesday. I could have done it on Sunday but had prior work commitments. I paid for this procedure in cash because our company insurance did not cover this procedure, i am told our cheap insurance company is one of only a few who do not, most every other insurance offered to expats in Kuwait Lap Band procedure is covered. You will need to check with the hospital to see if your insurance will cover this or not. I highly recommend this hospital and Dr. Khaled Ayyash.
