Mr Ashish Gupta 2023-09-06 Person 5 5 0

I'm two months into my recovery from quite major abdominal surgery which included the repair of a colovesical fistula, a hernia and an 18cm bowel resection. Dr Gupta performed the operation at Epsom Hospital and as I sit here, I can only call the operation a resounding success! Although I was prepped for the possibilty of a stoma bag, I awoke from my op without one as Dr Gupta had somehow managed quite a sizeable resection without the need for one. This was probably the most relief I've felt in many a year as this really was something I'd hoped to avoid. I'm 58 and this operation wasn't a life threatening one at this stage, more a quality of life issue. I'm so grateful to everyone that helped me, from the initial diagnosis, through to the surgery and finally the aftercare. I'm pain free now and use the loo like a normal person once again, rather than twenty or more times a day! It is without exaggeration to say that Dr Gupta has changed my life for the better and I'll be forever grateful. He's also an exceptionally nice person. No patronising hospital speak, he kept everything plain and easy to understand and listened to my questions. Thanks Dr Gupta! Stefan Canning
