Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I've been trying to lose weight for over two years...
I've been trying to lose weight for over two years now and I've shed 40lbs :D. Now I'm ready to be sexy! Lool I don't know what else to write. I'm going to eat super healthy for the week leading up to it. I've met with my surgeon on two occasions in London. He comes down once a month, so after the procedure, he will be accessible.
The Day of Surgery:
The Journey:
I got the Eurostar from London to Brussels. Then from Brussels I took a train to Antwerp and got off at Berchem (45 mins on the IR/IC train). From Berchem I got a train to that went to Sint Niklaas (but it wasn't the final destination of the train, most trains going to Sint Niklaas was ideal) and got off at Beveren. (It was pretty easy to navigate although my Dutch is Sh*t Lool so I just drew diagrams.I bought an Anytime Return ticket was around €18). From Berchem it was a 10 min walk. Just follow the signs to Grote Market.
The Experience:
I was welcomed warmly by Dr Oelbrandt. He gave me a mini tour of the clinic and then we had a consultation. I was led to my room where I left my stuff, changed into a robe and got marked up. The nurse disinfected me and then I lay down on the operating table. The anaesthesiolgist put in my IV and I was knocked out 2 minutes later. I woke up in my room and it was over lol (I remember nothing!). I stayed there for just under two hours and then I took a taxi to my hotel. I wasn't in any extreme pain, I was just very sore. I only took paracetamol, so it wasn't that bad. My inner thighs were quite swollen because I got a lot of far sucked out, other than that it was alright.

Day 3 (Home bound):
I'm still a bit sore but I'm not taking any pain killers. I'm going back to London today. I feel fine in general but I'm still a bit weak. There's no way I could've survived this alone, I encourage all of you to go with someone. Walking around is making me sleepy. I'm still quite swollen but it's gone down a little bit. Hopefully by day 7 or 8 I'll look decent.
P.s. When I got home I was exhausted. Travelling was a bit intense compared to sitting in my hotel room all weekend. I hadn't properly stretched my legs in ages.
