I decided to go for WLS after reaching my highest weight of 363lbs, whilst with tier 3 i managed to lose 60lbs, I received a phonecall from The Pines in Manchester saying that my NHS referral had been sent to the Phoenix Health, and all i can say is that from the very first phone call i cannot express how great the staff are at Phoenix Health, from patient co-ordinator Emma to Nurse Davina, all my worries and questions were answered, on my first consultation they wanted to do a Bypass but i wanted a Gastric Sleeve which i did discuss with my Surgeon Miss Darrian when she rang me the week before surgery and i was so relieved that here was a Surgeon/consultant that actually listened to the patient and was sympathetic towards my feelings (had bad experiences in the past) day of surgery it was all go go go but because of the staff it was peaceful experience, i didn't feel rushed and when the staff came to get me for surgery they allowed me a extra few minutes to message my partner, surgery went smoothly and i was out 2 days later!! it was nice to have a room to myself which allowed me to get some sleep, if your going for this my advice is listen to your team for the pre-op diet and afterwards, as soon as you can get up walking it really does help with the gas pain.The only negatives i can bring up is that i had a slightly bad experience my 2nd night when after falling asleep the night nurse came in to go through my discharge medication, i was half asleep and was getting upset as i couldn't process what she was going through......anyone going here though you will not regret the experience!
