I have recently had a gastric bypass done by this fabulous surgeon. Mr Loy puts you at ease from your first consultation. He is compassionate to his overweight patients; realising that not all people are equip with the willpower to lose their excess weight let alone keep it off long term. His experience and knowledge allays any fears that you may have, about the surgery. My care from him and his super bariatric team was exemplary! My health has dramatically improved in the six weeks post surgery after losing 20lbs since surgery and 2 1/2 stone in total since my liver shrinkage diet. Bad press for this surgery might cause fewer of these operations in the future, which would be devastating to overweight people, who see this operation as a lifeline. I myself was heading fast towards disability as my mobility was being seriously impacted by my weight. Since my operation, I've been able to walk a hundred times further than before! I was also pre-diabetic and the operation will prevent me from becoming diabetic. The cost of surgery is a drop in the ocean to what i could have potentially cost the NHS. I therefore urge PCTs to continue to fund bariatric surgery and even increase funding and simplify the process. These surgeries are transforming lives.
