Hiya,
I'm bring seen by Chelsea and westminster and although I've only had an appointment with the nurse I was very impressed with her level of care. They are spe is list hospital in bariatric surgery and I left there feeling completely at ease and fully informed.
I had my ap with nurse 2 weeks ago got letters through yesterday for ap with surgeon, nutritionist and psychologist in 2 weeks time all on same day do process seems to be quite good time wise, just hope I won't have to wait too long for confirmed surgery day!
Good luck choosing. X

Another vote for Luton, great team, equip for bariatric patients, big gowns, big everything. Very nice people and fantastic follow up and advice. I would say that you need to consider the distance to travel and see what is reasonable.
With regards to pain, I didn't have any, not even the dreaded wind pain.
