Has anyone else had their appointments/surgery at UCLH? How did you find it? Were the staff friendly? Was the place clean? Any info would be great x

Hi there, sorry I have'nt a clue but there will be someone here that knows. I'm sure they'll be along shortly to help answer your questions. Did'nt want to read and run so good luck.

Hi I am hoping to go there if I ever get my funding through. Newbie and Markelsie both went to uchl. They said it is a great place with very helpful and supportive staff. Good luck with your journey.

I had my sleeve gastrectomy at UCH London with Mr Fiennes in March this year. He is a fantastic surgeon and a lovely man. The hospital is very clean, the ward was cleaned 3x a day and they also brought up sterile gowns to change into 3x a day. It's a new hospital building and for the NHS , a very comfortable one. I have nothing but praise for the bariatric team and the hospital.

Hi Lollycakes...I did not have my surgery at UCLH but had there surgeon Mr A Fiennes who "fronts" this whole dept carry out my surgery 9 days ago...He is 1 top surgeon with many ops under his belt which is the TRUE acid test for any surgeon and along with this I have to add which stood out for me was the way "HE CARED".He understands the problems "why" we have this surgery and although only 9 days post op and just starting off on my journey I already feel with his input then and now I'm in good hands....to reach my personal goals..."Hope this helps"

You're very welcome. I felt very well looked after all the time from my pre op visits through surgery to post op follow up care. I would recommend UCLH to anyone. Mr Fiennes is a diamond, and the rest of the bariatric team are great too. The only thing I can't comment on there is the food, as I didn't have any for obvious reasons. Good luck, and I hope all goes smoothly for you!
