Sarah's story
Sarah has suffered from polycystic ovary syndrome since the age of 16. As the years passed, her health began to decline and her symptoms were worsening, including weight gain, night sweats and day flushes.
Sarah recalls, “I had extremely high blood pressure, which was getting worse. The doctors were monitoring it closely. The arthritis in my feet and toes was so painful that my doctor suggested weight loss surgery, but when we looked into it, the waiting list was just too long. That’s when I opted to go down the private treatment route.”
Determined to make sure she chose the right provider for her, Sarah carried out a lot of research. “I kept coming back to The Hospital Group when I was making the initial calls,” she says. “The patient liaison I spoke to there gave me the most information and was very helpful without being pushy. I felt most at ease talking to her.”
Sarah was delighted to have chosen her preferred provider, and the next step was to attend her first consultation with the surgeon, Mr Robinson, who would perform the procedure on her chosen date. “He was amazing,” Sarah smiles. “I felt so informed when I spoke to him. I was given an information pack and could read about his career history and qualifications. I was incredibly happy with Mr Robinson, and I’d recommend him to anyone. Through discussion with him, I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery.”
