I had a Roux-en-Y bypass in May 2017: I was in hospital for only 3 days and was looked after extremely well by the doctor and all the hospital staff. I had very little pain after the procedure and was kept informed all the way through, and have been able to phone and get advice from a bariatric nurse or dietician, which has been very helpful and reassuring. I started at 24st 4lbs and a size 32 - one year later I’m 15st and size 18. It’s coming off a lot more slowly now, but I can’t thank everyone enough for helping me.
"Excellent hospital"
