I'm an American living near London and had my surgery here. I'd been overweight for 16 years and battled my food addiction everyday. I've lost 90 pounds in the last 6 months and have gotten my life back. I wish I would of done it sooner! My start weight was 242 and am now 150!!!

Great review?

From my first inquiry to the day of surgery the customer service was impeccable. I had my surgery within 6 weeks of contacting them. Beth is the assistant and nurse in charge of the office and she was fantastic. The Dr. is also a liver specialist, so I didn't have to worry about any diets before surgery. I ate Indian food the night before!

I had a hard time in the first month or so. It takes a while to get used to seeing food in a different way. I see it as energy and nutrition now, instead of feeding my depression, eating when happy, sad or whatever. I still enjoy food a lot. But, I know about portion control. If I want a cookie, then I'll have a cookie. But, I don't binge anymore. I haven't had any plastic surgery, but will need a tummy tuck, breast lift and some liposuction. I'm excited for that part of my life!

That's awesome, you've done really well. You'll feel amazing after your body contouring surgery, I'm sure!
