Mr Sherif Awad

Written by a patient at Royal Derby Hospital

I have just had a gastric sleeve done by Mr Awad last Thursday and I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon to complete this for me. He put me at ease from the very first time that I met him and all throughout the process. He came and met me before the surgery and after to discuss anything that I may need to know or ask. He also gave my mum a call to let her know that everything went well also which was brilliant! The aftercare staff were also fantastic couldn't have asked for anything better!

With this being my first time in hospital, Mr Awad explained everything to me before my abdominal surgery, was always polite and listened to everything I said, This all allowed me to be surprisingly calm going in to theatre. Post operation he showed me photos of my surgery which allowed me to clearly understand what he had done, giving me additional comfort in knowing what I had undergone. I would absolutely recommend Mr Awad to anyone who is undergoing similar surgery as my own personal opinion of Mr Awad is that he is a very professional, competent and excellent surgeon.

Mr Awad is pragmatic, realistic and encouraging. It was a big decision for me to go for this surgery. I did a lot of research, talked to my family and looked at several doctors in different countries. From the initial conversation with Mr Awad I felt I was in good hands. He listened to me, talked me through all of the options and was open about the pros and cons of doing surgery and of the different surgeries. He took the time to answer all of my questions (and I had many). He also tried to understand my lifestyle and took that into consideration in guiding me on my options and how I could approach the pre-op phase. One night I sent him an SMS at 10pm and got a response within 30 minutes and he followed up with an encouraging message. On the day of my surgery Mr Awad visited me and explained what he was going to do,, what would happen immediately afterwards, how I would feel at different stages of recovery. He made sure I was comfortable to go ahead and again took time to answer my questions. I saw him before going to the theatre and again he was confident and reassuring. So there is a consistent theme here. Mr Awad is a very caring doctor. He visited several times after the surgery, checking on my progress and providing lots of encouragement. I'm sure that Mr Awad has many patients but at no point did I feel like just "another patient" or that he was too busy, distracted or preoccupied. With Mr Awad, it's not only about the surgery. He has put a lot of emphasis on how I can recover well. He has even given thought to ensuring that my scars are minimal and advising me on how to take care of them. In fact, were it not for the fact that I'm not hungry at all, it's hard to tell that I've had a surgery - the incisions are miniscule. I'm happy about my choice of doctor and I'm looking forward to the journey ahead.

I first met mr sherif Awad at an open evening in the Derby Royal hospital. My husband and I had discussed the gastric sleeve for me, and had done a lot of research beforehand.i Had also had a consultation with another surgeon about a year ago. Mr Awad was very approachable, professional with a very caring understanding manner. The evening was really informative and I just knew I'd be in safe hands. So I booked a consultation . A week and a half later I had my operation!. The nursing staff were amazing, they really couldn't do enough for you . Mr Awad came to see me before operation and put me at ease, he was also there when I was in recovery and came to the ward to check on me. The morning after my operation he was there to answer any questions and give me the advice on my recovery. And I saw him a few more times before I went home, he really is a wonderful surgeon. The follow up care from nurses and dietician has been great just knowing someone is checking on you daily is so reassuring. If you have ever thought of having the gastric sleeve I could not recommend mr Awad and his wonderful team more highly. I'm only 1week pre op and feel amazing, no pain or regrets.
