I researched into where to go for the best surgeon for weight loss surgery for a while and came across Mr Hamouda. From the very start, he listened to me and made me feel heard, going over each and every one of my concerns as well as the best options for me. I opted personally for the mgb and he ran over the procedure and what will happen on the day etc. The day came and he put all my fears once again to rest and made me feel reassured and comfortable, making sure that everything was okay before going down. It all went to plan and he came to check on me, which again, took his time and was infinitely patient. The follow-ups were amazing throughout and at no point was I made to feel rushed or that I was a number. It was truly the best decision I ever made to use Mr Hamouda for the journey and he has helped me regain who I am as a person and have the confidence and energy to live life, and for that I will always be so grateful. If anyone is ever thinking about wls, then I would really recommend Mr Hamouda for the gold star service!

A life changing decision to finally do something to improve my health and wellbeing came later in life for me. Years of trying every diet and type of weight loss medication and still failing to control my weight gain. Battling with painful arthritic joints and age related conditions that at 61 meant the prospect of an unhealthy miserable shorter old age I arranged to meet my wonderful surgeon. The run up to the procedure was full of guidance and help from the dedicated team and very quickly I realised this was likely to be the only tool that could change my situation. It was never an easy thing to do. The thought of surgery was so scary but as soon as you get to the hospital you are cared for by a wonderful team of professionals who take excellent care of you. I found the first few days after surgery very hard. I think most people will question if they did the right thing! This is short lived. Following all the advice from the team helped. Everyday you hit new goals and before you know it you have progress from liquid to purees to soft food and solid food. Before I had the Gastric Sleeve I could not see a time when I would be able to eat just what my body needed. The constant hunger has now gone even though my portion sizes are small. One year on and I have gone from a dress size 20 to a 12. My mobility is far better and I no longer need to take pain killers and anti-inflammatory medication daily. My brain has been retrained to eat well and drink plenty of water. I now look forward to getting older, keeping healthy and enjoying life.

This gentleman changed my life for the better. His bedside manner and aftercare are exceptional and he is a true master of his craft. His reputation speaks for itself and I truly believe is the best bariatric surgeon in the country.

It has been one year now, that I had my gastric bypass. It was the best decision I ever made. I chose mr. Hamouda, as his reputation was outstanding. The care and after care was excellent. I feel I have my identity back and have learnt to be happy and bubbley once again. Mr. Hamouda and his team are with you every step of your journey, I can't thank him enough for his support.

I highly recommend Mr Hamouda. After going through my medical history, my concerns and specific factors that led to my weight gain, Mr Hamouda suggested that I try Wegovy. Mr Hamouda took the time to clearly explain the options and process to me, including important lifestyle changes that were needed to increase my chances of success and possible side effects. The monthly follow up appointments gave me peace of mind and helped me stay on track. Diane (PA) is also very responsive on email and helping to arrange appointments, repeat prescriptions, etc. With the help of Mr Hamouda, I have managed to reach my target weight and significantly improved my diet and overall health.

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.

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.

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.
