I was treated by Mr Sarela for chronic acid reflux after careful consideration I went for the lynx band.
Post the operation I would say that my symptoms are now 80% better than they were previously I no longer take any acid reflux medication and I would recommend Mr Serela for this procedure

I first visited Dr Sarela in sept 2021 with my expression for wanting bariatric surgery.
He listening and asked lots of questions about my health and lifestyle and my goals.He explained through the pro and cons of each surgery which would be most beneficial for me and my life, there was no pressure no hard sell to which surgery I should opt for but guided me on his medical professional opinion.
Even after all that there still was no hard press to get the surgery it was something he wanted me to go away and research more think about it long and hard it was a life commitment was not an easy way out and if i still felt surgery was right for me to book in with the Secretary.
I rung couple days later and within a few weeks was booked in.
I was in and out of theatre within hours the nurses was fantastic could no do enough for me. Dr sarela even came the next morning to check on me, very caring.
My surgery went soo smoothly the scars i have been left with are sooo neat you cant even tell I have some of then the handy work is amazing !!
Follow up care has been seamless booked in tracked with him and the dietician.
i have currently lost 9 stone through the surgery and found my life that seemed to have got lost, the confident women that was inside hiding is now living her best life.
Without a doubt this was the best decision of my life and I could not be more grateful for a fantastic Doctor, surgeon who gave me the opportunity.
thank you so much !

I am very pleased with my experience with Mr Abeezar Sarela, everything was explained thoroughly before surgery and then the day of surgery, my surgery has been very successful and I’m so happy with my recovery and progress in my weight loss.
Would definitely recommend Mr Sorela.
