I’m writing this review exactly two weeks after a left inguinal laparoscopic hernia repair by Professor David Lloyd at Spire Leicester and am happy to say my recovery has been extremely positive so far! I’d been putting off the surgery for months as I was very anxious after reading all sorts of stories online. Professor Lloyd was very patient listening to my concerns and was quick to put me at ease by answering my (many) questions and explaining the complications I was worried about were extremely rare and unheard of in his vast experience of hernia surgery. He explained the procedure in detail, even drawing diagrams to make it easy to understand. The pre and post theatre staff were amazing, having a few jokes with me and making sure I was comfortable and relaxed. The surgery itself went very well and I was back in my room after an hour. There was only minor discomfort around the midriff but was easily managed with paracetamol for a few days after. The only real discomfort I had was two days later due to the gas build up and constipation but this only lasted a day after taking the stool softener supplied by the hospital. In hindsight I’d take it straight after surgery to get things moving quicker! Other than that apart from a little stiffness around the navel for a few days and the odd twinge around the inguinal area the recovery has been swift and pain-free and I’ve been moving around no problem. There has been minimal bruising, no swelling of the man bits and the small incisions have healed very quickly. I’m pretty fit and healthy but I was expecting the recovery to be a lot worse so I have to give huge credit to Professor Lloyd’s skills. I’d like to also mention the staff at Spire were nothing short of amazing. Everyone single person I encountered were so friendly and made me feel at ease which really does go a long way. I would have been happy to stay another night! I hope this review helps anyone else, who like me was extremely anxious about the surgery. I cannot recommend Professor Lloyd highly enough and would not hesitate to go through it again if I were to need surgery for another hernia in the future. JW

I was recommended to Professor Lloyd by my physio and made an appointment to see him at the Spire Hospital in Leicester. Although this was an hour and a half drive away it was well worth the trip! He immediately put me at ease, was not at all aloof and came over as a genuinely very nice man. On 9 November 2023, I had laparoscopic repairs of my left and right inguinal hernias as well as a small umbilical hernia. I was sore for about 9 days, but now, some two weeks later, I feel completely recovered and ready to be active again. The whole process was very slick. The standard of care and attention was first class and I couldn't recommend Professor Lloyd and his team highly enough!

Having seen my GP three times and being referred to a consultant for various test no conclusions were reached, however I was still in pain !! Having heard of Pro Lloyds reputation I sought a consultation which resulted in seeing the Professor on 12th October 2023. He quickly diagnosed an Inguinal Hernia. The repair was carried out Laparoscopically on 24th October 2023 by Prof Lloyd. I left the hospital the same day. Two or three days after the procedure I was feeling well with virtually no discomfort. From the very start of contacting the Professors office, the consultation and through surgery to being singed off 16 days later the expertise, professionalism and real care have been nothing short of superb. I am very grateful to Professor Lloyd and all his team for making me pain free and well on the way to full recovery in a little over 14days. Steven Gallagher

Professor Lloyd repaired my Inguinal hernia by laparoscopic surgery. Throughout the process, (pre-op; op; post-op) he was engaging, open and approachable. He is clearly a very skilled surgeon. I had the op on a Thursday and was discharged same day. I took pain killers that night, and did not need them again. I felt well after 48 hours. I think this outcome is a testament to his skill. The staff at Spire were excellent too. I would not hesitate to recommend Professor Lloyd for this procedure. I also know he does gall bladder ops (he did one for my wife 15 years ago)
