I will update further when surgery is complete but I booked through too medics Poland and their contact and help has been very good so far and I've read good reviews too.

As got the surgeon himself, I've read good things about DR Mekle and the reason I chose him is because firstly surgery is cheaper than here in Uk by far and he trained with DR Ravi Jain who was my preferred uk surgeon if I could have afforded uk prices

Thank you for starting a review on RealSelf, I'm looking forward to following your journey.  Are you doing anything special to prepare for your surgery?
March 4, 2014
Hi thank for the reply! :) At the moment I am just training in the gym and watching what I eat to get used to being after before surgery and again post surgery. I'm trying not to think too much about it to be honest, I the blood test, needles etc so the thought of surgery makes me feel physically sick! Other than that, I'll be looking for someone local to arrange the massages etc Thanks again Mark
March 6, 2014
Oh yeah, don't think about the needles and surgery stuff.  Just think about being healthy :) 
Here are some good tips for preparing, and and here is a great post about the 10 things I wish I knew before liposuction.  Keep us posted on what you are doing and how you are feeling before surgery!

Thanks for those links, very helpful! At the moment, Im stressing about work, so at least thats taking my mind of the surgery lol! I will update this both before and after Vaser, as I am sure others will look into the procedure and I hope it will help somone too Thanks again
March 8, 2014
Sounds good!  Sorry you are having work stress, but like you said at least it is keeping your mind off surgery :)

Hey, just wanted to wish you good luck! I am now 17 days post with my Vaser HD with dr Mekle and I think I'm gonna be pretty satisfied with my results. :) If you have any questions at all, please message me and I'll answer! The first couple of days post surgery kinda sucked for me and there's all sorts of things going on with drains, sutures etc. Anyway, yeah good luck!

Hi mate Sorry for the delayed reply! Thanks for the well wishes, yes I saw your photos, looking good last time I saw mate, and gald things are improving... Did you have to go to your GP back home for the stiches to be removed? Ive had a lot of advice on here from several people, but any tips you consider worthwhile are always appreciated Take care mate and thanks again!
May 27, 2014
Hey again, yes I went to a GP at home for the stitches. My biggest tip would be to relax and don't worry too much the first few days as you might feel quite miserable as I did! Good luck tomorrow!

UPDATED FROM willbehappy
Day of treatment

1 day pre-op

Well I arrived here in Poland this morning, what a days it's been, haven't slept for 24 hours die to being dropped a the airport at midnight and having to wait 6.5 hrs for our flight, then arrived in Katowice and was met by Peter from top medics Poland and takin straight to hospital for the blood tests

There was clearly some issues, as Peter explained who I was the nurses started talking to Peter and making some phone calls, Peter then called people and I could tell
Something was wrong? But wasnt sure what.

After around 45 minutes I was led
To the room to have my bloods done, nurse had a face like thunder, still none the wiser about this but I'm sure when I speak to Natasza it will be cleared up.

So in just 13 hours in going down for the op, excited but nervous? Ideally I'd have been a bit leaner by now, I didn't trainat the gym when normally I do, as I just want to see what I look like afterwards

In not expecting results as good as a lot of the guys I've seen in here, my fault partly for getting overweight in my teen years which I never recovered from well and also I've got pretty bad gyno, but I shall remain optimistic :)

I'll when I next can update

Hi all

Just a quick one for now, I am now a full day post op and going back in omorrow for removal of drains.

DR Mekle said he thought the results looked great so far and despite my concerns when he asked to tense my muscles he said "you do lots of exercise, I can feel
Good muscles" which was very reassuring.

You basically go into the clinic, sign the last fee medical forms and pay the remaining balance, a nurse takes you in to change into you're very fetching paper pants, and gown, this is where you are completely on show, no one takes any notice o you but still not very nice feeling lol.

The anaesthetist speaks to you, weighs you etc and then finally DR Mekle comes in and explains the surgery in good detail. You are then left with the nurses for out the needle in your arm ready for anaesthetic . That's all I remember.

I woke up in the compression vest, mouth Was very dry and I was generally just uncomfortable. The nurses at this clinic are great, can't fault them, most of their English is good but we get by even with those who don't speak English.

You get bought some light breakfast and sandwiches, wTer, tea or coffee. And a nurse comes to check on you what seemed like every hour or so.

Not sure about the ladies lol but toileting I found hard work , they give you a aplastic container to pee in, i physically couldn't pee in it lol, so I eventually asked if I could get up and go to the toilet, they were reluctant but agreed as many people feel nauseous getting up, luckily I didn't.

The nurses change your bad ages several times over the 24 hour stay and I was given some light therapy and ultrasound massage while I was there, I now just have to buy the cream DR Mekle recommends and massage twice daily myself as well as they MLD massages

DR Mekle shocked me, when he said he'd taken 8 litres out of me! I was shocked and disgusted but then I knew overall I had a decent body underneath as I'd always done sports, time will tell

I'm still sore and esp when trying to get out of bed, it's a nightmare lol... In glad drains are coming out tomorrow as my clothes are soaked in blood. Not sure about anyone else but my appetite is pretty much non existant still, I feel pretty full quickly sure that's sign of the GA though.

As I type this I've now got to clean up the mess I've made in the bathroom and can't wait for then drains to be removed hopefully I'll stop leaking the , not counting on a goods night sleep I admit but we will see and hopefully I'll report back tomorrow

Hope this all makes sense, as I'm typing on my phone not feeling too great. But from what I've seen so far DR Mekle has done a great job and the nurses are amazing too.

Natasza from too medics Poland rang me too, which is a nice touch

Speak soon
Mark

8 liters! Wow! What was your weight before the surgery? Will you be adding before and after photos? I'm interested to see your progress. Hope your recovery goes well, the first few days were quite a strain for me, if they are for you too just remember it gets better fast!
May 29, 2014
Hi mate, thanks Yep get what you mean regarding the recovery, it makes me feel rough looking at all the blood the drains produce and as I said just getting in/out bed or chairs is hard enough! One the drains are out I assume the leaking Stops? 8 litres! I know I never expected that. Though I is hVe, upper/lower abs, chests, flanks and lower back I couldn't believe he got 8 liters out, luckily I'd list 2 stone for this too really! I will indeed add before and after photos when I get then mate
May 29, 2014
Meant to say weight before surgery was 88kg
May 29, 2014
The leaking took some time to stop after the drains were removed for me, two of them (in the pubic area) especially took about a week and were quite annoying, however the amount was a lot less so I could manage it with just some toilet paper/gause in my underwear by the end.
May 29, 2014
Ok thanks for that info mate, yeah it's ones in the pubic region that keep leaking now, as do the ones around my lower back . Hopefully I'll be ok for work on Sunday ! And leaking subsides a little by then

Hi, what is the relationship between medics Poland and the clinic? Is it the same thing?
September 10, 2016
Hi,

Top Medics is a Medical tourism agency, depending on which treatment you are looking for, will depend on which surgeon/clinic they use.

It a lot easier to go through Top Medics Poland, than to try contact the Clinic itself

Let me know if I can help further.

Try and go through the clinic if you can as medipoland tried to put the price up with me..They lost a good customer (been before) because of this!

I am now going to Colombia for my TT and vaser ..

I went there 3 times, and they were generous and offered me a discounted treatment each time.
