The care given to me by Mr Rink and his Bariatric Team was fantastic. They are all caring, understanding and absolutely professional. The team put me at ease on the morning of my operation, from the Ward Sister who admitted me to the anaesthetist who held my hand. Unfortunately the ward I was admitted to after my operation was totally unsuitable. It is a very busy ward with patients admitted 24 hours a day. The noise levels at night by incoming patients and their families was not conducive to patients trying to sleep. The nursing staff and porters on this ward also made no effort in lowering their voices at night. When you have surgery surely recuperating in a quiet, calm environment will only help speed recovery. At one point on the ward at about 2.25 am I was left terrified when a newly admitted patient’s husband opened my curtains to see who I was. I certainly was not expecting that, I was so frightened I wanted to discharge myself from hospital.

I had a sleeve gastrectomy with Mr Rink on 29th April 2019. He took time to listen to my concerns and rejigged his surgery to accommodate my surgery quickly. Mr Rink explained about the surgery and the implications and we went ahead. I left hospital the morning after my surgery having showered and dressed independently. Three months later and I have lost four stone and am once again living life. The long standing physical and mental illnesses from which I was suffering are now gone - something often seen following such surgery. I have found my confidence, started jiving and most importantly suffer no ill effects from the surgery. Mr Rink told me that many people feel liberated following the surgery and indeed that is the case for me. If you are considering weight loss surgery Mr Rink is the man. Thank you Mr Rink - for everything! x

Me J A Rink, operated on me on May 16 2019. I had the gastric bypass. It was the best thing I’ve done. I am now loosing weight (2stone so far) post op. He is a very friendly man and always made me feel at ease. I would 110% advise anyone thinking of having the surgery to go a head with it. Thank you mr rink for giving me my life back .
