I had my surgery in the Czech Republic - Prague, to be more specific and I can recommend this place. I also chose the country and clinic mainly to save some money and I don´t regret that decision a bit. Everything went smooth, I had all the information needed and the result is amazing! Oh, btw, the clinic I went to is this - medicaltravelczech.com - very professional place!

Thanks Sherlock, I've just returned from Prague last night. Operation went fine, recovery great up to now and everything there was excellent! I'm shocked at how brilliant and efficient the doctors and nurses are there!
Incidentally, when I got home I had a letter from nhs mentioning funding for the op. I'm going to go all the way then pass them my receipts, what do you think? I know I won't get anywhere but its worth a try, seen as I putt it on a credit card!
Good luck on the rest off you r journey

Had mine in France since i live there it's my doctor who sent me to him seems like he's been operating in the US too. I had to go to a private clinic since public hospitalier ain't that sure for this type or operation.

I see this is an old topic, but still, as I'm a newbie, and i know others look for surgery in europe, I am more than happy to have chosen Nordbariatric Clinic in lithuania. They were super nice, spoke English (everyone involved) and as I had to self pay, their price met my budget.

Hi there , I know this is an old thread but I am considering a gastric sleeve in Ireland, I was going to go with Auralia clinic in Dublin,, but by the time I got my finances in place they told me that they couldn't get a reliable supply of blood and we're no longer doing surgery. I was so disappointed but now I am hoping Dr McAnena in Galway will do it. Finding it difficult to get a clear idea costs from his secretary and it seems I have to pay 400euro just to see 400euro just to meet him and discuss the options. Has anyone had a sleeve with Dr McAneana and do they know the costs, thanks,

I am having my surgery in Belgium, in just 3.5days!! >< I have heard good things and my patient care manager seems friendly and professional as well, he has been of great help. The surgery cost is about 50% less in Belgium, in comparison to having it in London(where i am from), and the package includes the 4 nights hotel stay with a companion and taxi service as well, i am looking forward to it!

Hi I am looking into having gastric sleeve and looking at going to Europe merely for financial reasons my partner wants me to have it in the uk I have said it doesn't mean it is going to be ok. I take it your experience was good could you let me know who you went with and who done your surgery

I'm just wondering why people from the U.K. opt to have their procedures done in India when here are at least five places in Europe that offers a comparable service?
