I chose Mr Sarela because of his career history. I had my consultation and came with a list of questions but once he talked through the whole process, my mind was at ease and I decided to book my gastric sleeve. After a few cancellations, not due to anyone’s fault, my operation went ahead without a hitch. Recovery was fast and I was kept in contact with the hospital and my nutritionist. I’m only 6 weeks post op but I haven’t had any issues and feel great! Really grateful for the support from Spire and would definitely recommend Mr Sarela.

I had a gastric sleeve with Mr sarela a little over a year ago. On my initial consultation I was extremely anxious I’ve been overweight a lot of my life and have been told from numerous doctors to “eat less and move more it’s that simple” I thought he would judge me the same however he was completely the opposite he was understanding, compassionate and listened. He discussed all options so I could make an informed decision and from that consultation I trusted him and knew this was the surgery I wanted to go ahead with. To put it simply Mr sarela has changed my life I am happier and healthier than I have ever been my only regret is not doing it sooner .

He was informative about the surgical options and explained the pros and cons of each procedure. This prepared me to go away and research a preferred course of action. He was there to reassure me and answer any questions on the day of surgery. Shortly after the operation he again provided a full level of support.
