My Weight Loss Journey started a couple of years ago with the Bariatric Team with my surgery undertaken on 16th February 2023. Mr Rink and his team are exceptional and extremely supportive. They answered my concerns and queries and supported me at all times throughout the process. I have a totally new lease of life after my surgery which is also benefiting my other medical conditions. Massive thank you to Mr Rink and the Team for helping me through this process.

My daughters physical and mental health was very poor prior to her journey with Mr Rink and his wonderfully dedicated team. They were so very supportive to my daughter and never once judged her for the state of her health. Instead they filled her with encouragement and positivity which then enabled her to lose an awful lot of weight prior to surgery and feel good about herself. They gave her manageable targets and ensured that she was both mentally and physically prepared for her surgery and the difference in her since surgery is being noticed by all around her. Thank you Mr Rink and your team for saving my daughters life and giving her the opportunity to thrive and be happy and content with who she is.
