    Default Surgery postponed - ulcers!!!

    Was due to have my sleeve in Brno at The Surgal Clinic with Beautiful Beings last week. I flew out last Monday, had pre-op tests and then on the Tuesday morning had the final test - a gastroscopy - and they found 2 ulcers in th top of my stomach! I'd had no symptoms so didn't know. But the couldn't go ahead with the surgery. As you can imagine I was very upset. The staff at the clinic were fantastic. I've been given medication and I'm now rebooked for 26th May.

    It isn't costing any extra apart from additional flights and I'm glad they done the test and postponed - it could have been very dangerous otherwise.

    The clinic itself is spotlessly clean, modern. The rooms are lovely and all the staff speak at least some English - it was never a problem.

    So, overall gutted my op was postponed but now at least I've been and have no worries at all about going back. I'd recommend them.

    Much calmer about it all now. Taking the opportunity to take vitamins, use creams and moisturisers and prepare myself - something I didn't really do last time!
