In September 2023 Mr Hamouda operated on me giving me a gastric sleeve to reduce the amount of food I could eat to enable me to lose weight and hopefully reduce the pain from arthritis. The operation was totally successful. I have lost 24 kilos and feel so much better with increased mobility. The whole process was very smooth. I have been supported throughout the past year by Mr Hamouda and a dietition. I can thoroughly recommend Mr Hamouda and his team.

I highly recommend Dr. Hamuda and his team for gastric sleeve surgery. After three decades of weight management challenges and numerous unsuccessful diet attempts, I opted for this procedure. The entire process, from initial consultation through post-operative care, was handled with utmost professionalism. The surgery for me required only one night of hospitalization. Nine months post-operation, I've experienced a significant weight reduction of 37.5 kg, from 124.5 kg to 87 kg. While adapting to new dietary habits has presented some challenges, the overall outcome has been overwhelmingly positive. I've resumed regular exercise and feel a renewed sense of wellbeing. My sincere appreciation goes to Dr. Hamuda, Diane, and the entire staff for their exceptional care and expertise.

Great staff and excellent support throughout the journey, completely life changing, Mr Hamouda is confident in what he does (for good reason) and very friendly and helpful, the entire multi-disciplinary team of staff who help you through in the hospital and for the rest of the year are knowledgeable, compassionate and supportive, I'm so happy with the results and haven't had any issues.

Mr Hamouda is a great Doctor. I recently had my gallbladder removed with him and everything went so well. I specifically asked for Mr Hamouda because he performed a gastric operation on me 5 years ago and I trusted him. Mr Hamouda is friendly, honest and very knowledgeable and I feel completely safe in his hands. Both my surgeries went well with no complications at all. I would highly recommend him to anyone with gastric health needs. Thank you Mr H.

After years of yo-yo diets, I decided to have weight loss surgery. The Nuffield in Tunbridge Wells were my first choice. My experience with them pre and post surgery have been first class . There help and support have allowed me to change my life. I have transformed from 121 kg to 70 kg in the last year . I would like to thank the team members at the hospital . I will be forever grateful. Graham Clifton.

I can't begin to recommend Dr Hamouda enough, he has been amazing from start to finish, and the only surgeon that has ever believed in my case and genuinely wanted to help me get a better life. I have now lost 14 stone in a year and my life has changed completely without him and his amazing team I don't know where I would be. If this is something your looking to do then the team at Nuffield is definitely the place to be. Thank you again

Dr Ahmed Hamouda is fantastic, kind and very friendly. When I start my weight loss journey, I was very anxious,scared and depressed. After meeting and speaking to Dr Hamouda, I gain lots of confidence and feel better in myself. Having my sleeve gastrectomy done by Dr Hamouda, is the best decision I made a year ago.

Re : Gastric sleeve I can highly recommend Weight Loss Surgery with surgeon, Mr Hamouda & his nutritionist Abir Hamza-Goodacre, who have both been extremely helpful over the past fifteen months. Having tried numerous diets for decades, all of which failed due to my lack of control, I then decided getting weight loss surgery was the only solution for permanent weight loss and good health into retirement, so one day when attending Benenden to visit someone, I made enquires about the procedure & costs. Having spoken soon afterwards at the initial consultation with Mr Hamouda, he was very patient, professional and pointed out both the pros & cons. Having decided to go ahead with the procedure, the care I then received from all of the staff, from administrative to nursing was excellent, professional & prompt. The procedure went smoothly and aftercare was comprehensive. There were a few drawbacks during my journey, such as fatigue, over eating causing sickness & constipation, but experience & post operative consultations resolved these problems. Now fifteen months following the procedure, I'm more than satisfied with the results. I have lost just under eight stone, my BMI is 23 and I'm working on a varied, nutritional diet, be it in much smaller portion size. The weight dropped off far quicker than I had expected & I have now plateaued, even putting a few pounds back on (My body’s choice, not mine). If you're considering Weight Loss Surgery, in my opinion, you won't be disappointed with your decision.

In December 2022 I was told I had reached the stage of being pre-diabetic. At 26 stone I was the heaviest I had ever been but my GP was out of options other than weight loss surgery. I was told I’d be put on the list for a consultation but it could take a year for that, followed by another year for the surgery. I considered my options and decided to go private. I met with Mr Hamouda and his team and was convinced with the all round package and support he and his team provided both before and after surgery. In April 2023 following a very restrictive diet I was down to 23 stone and went ahead with gastric sleeve surgery. What followed was a year of relearning everything I knew about food, with great support and regular care. In April 2024, I had my last check in with Mr Hamouda. My weight was just over 13 stone. Today my weight has stabilised and I now have a quality of life I could only dream of - running 5ks and training for a triathlon, doing Go Ape with my children. I cannot express how much this surgery has changed my life and how I doubt I could have achieved the results without the amazing support provided. Mr Hamouda and his team quite literally changed my life.

Surgery abroad was a risk I was not prepared to take. I watched various webinars and from these Mr Hamouda stood out. One of my concerns was that at 66 years old I had left it too late.
