A big thank you to Dr Hamouda and his team.  I needed to lose weight after being diagnosed with diabetes and high blood pressure. Just one year later I've lost 4 stone and my hba1c and blood pressure are both in normal range.  I have a lot more energy and feel motivated to do things I wouldn't 12 months ago.
Admittedly the first 3 month were very difficult.  At first it was painful to eat and I felt so tired and hated the liquid meals after being on them even before the surgery. Then I was allowed to expand my meals but they got pretty old after a short time.   Things improved when I could start eating fruit and vegetables normally again.
I found i lost some hair in those first few months but one year on I can see new hair growth so I'm relieved to know it was only temporary.
Looking forward I need to lose 3 more stone and with the spring starting I can use gardening as a good source of exercise whilst getting a lot of fresh air.
Good luck to anyone beginning their journey,  I'm glad to have started it.

Mr Hamouda did my surgery back in March 2024 I was struggling with my weight and had about 10 stone to lose from the very first phone call. He put me at ease gave me options when I first had my appointment face-to-face with Mr Hamouda He was very welcoming, answered every question I had, The process of getting booked in and having my pre-assessments was very easy on the day of the operation. The nurse is and all the medical team were absolutely fantastic so knowledgeable and caring. I went down for my operation and before I knew it, I was back in my room, The nurses were very attentive And looked after me extremely well Mr Hamouda Come to visit me the next morning to see how I was doing we had a chess about the operation and how it went and what would be the next steps I was discharged that same day so I only had one night in hospital. I had no complications from my surgery and had all my follow-up appointments. It’s now been over a year and I’m not far off my goal. Wait I’m now about half a stone till I reach my goal So hopefully that will happen soon, having this operation gave me my life back and now I’m doing things that I never thought I would be doing. I can’t wait to carry on with my new healthy living and I would highly recommend both the hospital and the surgeon for any of your weight loss needs, thank you so much.

Best decision I've ever made, the most rewarding journey I have ever taken. What an amazing experience being supported by an amazing team. My journey started when I realised my relationship with food had to change, nothing was working and I was just struggling with my weight. After researching weight loss surgery I found a video with
Mr Ahmed Hamouda a bariatric surgeon. After watching this video, I decided I wanted to meet Dr Ahmed Hamouda. His Video was informative talked about bariatric surgery.
This personal touch made my Mind up, that I wanted a consultation with him. From the first phone call .I was on the way to my recovery from yo yo dieting and being ashamed of my weight. Not only do you get surgery you also have a year of a support network , dietician,  psychologists. Check up appointments .Just having surgery if not enough.you need support to change your mind set., information and useful advice and constant support.
Not only have I lost weight. ive gained confidence, I am aware of my eating habits and have coping skills in place, to deal with them. I will always need to be mindful and challenge my mind set over food. I've been given the skills to win this battle.
I am extreamly greatful to this wonderful  surgeon who used his training and skill's to keep me safe and to change my life.
I am also extreamly greatful to his wonderful staff team.they have saved my life. Words of Thanks will never be enough

I am a 64 year old male. Previous complications having had my large colon removed. I am type 2 diabetic and insulin resistant. Having seen a diabetic medicine consultant and advised that they had exhausted available diabetic medicines it was suggested I have batriatic surgery. NHS referral indicated I was eligible however suggested a waiting list of over 3 yrs. I choose self funding and researched Mr Hamuda who agreed the surgery. I hit a stumbling block with the anaesthetist who wanted better blood sugar levels. It took me over a year to achieve this affecting my mental health. I had surgery in feb 2024 A year on down from 20 stone 11 to 14st 7lb achieving better diabetes control. Mr Hamuda is a very well respected surgeon he put me at ease and him and his team come highly recommended if you are considering weight loss surgery.

I cannot express how happy I have been with my surgery. I should have done it years ago. I lost 4.5 stone in 6 months and have maintained for a further 6 months now. I have dropped from a size 18 to a size 12 clothes size. I would absolutely recommend using Weight Loss Surgery Kent - they have been most supportive in my journey

As a person of my age (72) I was naturally concerned about having this procedure.
Fortunately I was put in contact with Mr Hamouda who I found to be very precessional & reassuring
Consultation arranged and despite my age I was given the ok to proceed
I was so relieved as my weight was a problem and was effecting my health and everyday life
The procedure was carried out at The Nuffield Hospital Tunbridge Wells and cannot fault the fantastic overall experience
Staff & facilities and especially Mr Hamouda were excellent and caring
It’s been a year now and having been monitored very closely by the consultant, Abir the dietary practitioner, in additional I was monitored by a well being practitioner
This has changed my life totally having lost in the region of 6 stone, no longer on any diabetic medication, no breathing problems and my whole attitude to life has changed
It’s so lovely seeing friends & family and remarking how good you look
A big thank you to Mr Hamouda and staff at the Nuffield Hospital
