Reviews/Feedback

Great experience, I felt well taken care of. The doctor was great and the staff were great. I even received phone calls after to check on how I was doing. Overall the experience was perfect for me.

I had a partial sleeve gastrectomy under Mr Agrawal. I am very pleased with his level of professionalism and expertise. I got in touch with him and had an appointment booked in a few days. He made sure I had all the information I needed and he was very thorough with every check. Nearly three weeks post op now I have recovered very well. I have been given an incredible tool to help me on my journey to a healthy lifestyle and Mr. Agrawal comes very highly recommended.

I cannot recommend Mr Agrawal enough. He performed my gastric sleeve last year and everything went very well. I was nearly 8 stone overweight and felt awful. 9 months on and I have lost most of my excess weight and I'm feeling so much healthier. My pre-diabetes and raised blood pressure have disappeared. He has been professional throughout and has ensured that I have been well informed at all times. My recovery time was very good too! My aftercare was very good and all staff were kind and caring.

I had WLS on 4/2/23. Mr Agrawal was very friendly and helpful from the first consultation to post-surgery. Hospital was very nice and quiet. The staff were very attentive and caring.

I had been considering the Gastric Sleeve for over a year or so. I done a lot of research into this procedure and surgeons and then came across Mr S Agrawal.

I wanted this procedure at the Rivers Hospital as it was local but then a cancellation came up at the Spires Ilford for 2 weeks ahead! (22nd May 21). I was very scared but knew for my health this had to be done.

I could lose the weight but never keep it off. From the 1st day at this hospital, I felt very safe. The whole experience was brilliant. Mr A and his staff made me feel very welcome and very cared for. During my stay at the hospital, everyone were very caring and made me feel at ease. I met 2 other ladies on the same day and the support was great. I struggled for a few weeks after and Liz the dietician was very supportive.

I would highly recommend Mr S Agrawal and his team. The only negative at this hospital is that I only had a 1 year package afterwards whereas at the Rivers Hospital, you get a 2 years package. I didn't realise this.

I am nearly 2 years Post Op now and my journey has been great. I have lost just over 7 stone and so far have kept it off. My body plays with about 4lb up and down. It's the best thing I have done and once again would highly recommend Mr S Agrawal and his team.

I had gastric sleeve surgery performed by Mr Agrawal at London Spire East on the 17th October 2022. I had spent many years yo-yo dieting and never seemed to maintain any weight loss I had achieved. After months of research, I decided to have a gastric sleeve. Originally I was going to go to Egypt for the surgery but in the end decided I would feel more comfortable staying in the UK. As part of my research, I came across Mr Agrawal and saw many reviews about him and realised he could perform surgery local to me.

On our first meeting, I felt reassured and like I was in safe hands. Mr Agrawal was open and honest about potential complications and didn't shy away from telling me it was a hard journey. The staff all working for Mr Agrawal are kind and non-judgmental and I was very well looked after. I am so pleased with my results and would recommend Mr Agrawal to anyone planning on having bariatric surgery.

I was so nervous about the surgery and I had no need to be. Dr Agrawal was amazing and his team. The whole experience was fantastic. 2 weeks out and I already feel amazing. Any questions I had were answered. I can not recommend this service enough. 5 stars, plus I know this is the best thing I have done to get my life back. Anyone thinking about it should do it without hesitation.

Dr Agrawal is a wonderful doctor. He has been fantastic throughout my treatment. He is friendly, calm and professional. Dr Agrawal explained everything to me throughout my surgery. I received the highest quality of care. He is an outstanding doctor. I would highly recommend him. I’m extremely grateful to him.

From my first consultation and all the way through Mr Agrawal is informative & supportive. Everything about him makes you feel that you're in safe hands. I would 100% recommend surgery with him and his team. Gastric sleeve - January 23.

Professional helpful information and advice were given with an explanation of available options, and potential risks associated with each treatment explained clearly.

Highly recommend

The information and care received from Dr A was outstanding. Couldn't recommend enough. Would have preferred a different location - hospital was fine, location of it was not great (noise from the park at night time).

Mr Agrawal is amazing. From my first consultation and all the way through he is informative & supportive. Everything about Mr Agrawal makes you feel comfortable throughout the process and I would 100% recommend surgery with him.

I had a gastric sleeve with Mr Agrawal at London East Spires hospital in November 22. From first contacting him, Mr Agrawal and his team have been informative, helpful and supportive. Everything has been explained well and all my questions have been answered.

I’m 4 weeks post op and have already lost over 2 stone in weight. I’m delighted with the whole process and I’m very reassured that the support will continue as part of the package.

Mr A is honest, efficient and professional. I’m so pleased. I thought carefully when choosing my surgeon. I was incredibly nervous about my surgery but knowing I was in such safe hands truly eased my nerves. The care from the start was fantastic and Mr A makes sure you are fully informed before making any decisions. Well worth the journey from Dorset for the right surgeon. Thank you very much Mr Agrawal and your team.

I was very happy with my surgery and the care provided by my Doctor and the nurses. They were all very professional and everything went smoothly. Only thing I would have hoped for was clearer step by step guide to each appointment required before and after surgery.

I had a great experience with Mr Sanjay Agrawal and his team. My surgery went well with zero complications and I am losing weight! If you are worried, don't be- you are in the best hands.

I couldn’t fault Mr Agrawal. From start to finish he couldn’t be more organised and accommodating. He was always at the end of an email to answer any questions or queries. Partnered with the Facebook support group I felt fully informed and supported.

When I got to the hospital, everything was like a well oiled machine, from pain management and medications to having a guide to the first three days waiting for me when I arrived, I truly couldn’t recommend enough.

Mr Agrawal is an excellent surgeon. I’m one week post op with a gastric sleeve & my recovery has been so smooth with minimal pain. In fact, I feel great & attribute this to Mr A’s technique & skill. He checks on you frequently post op. Great communication & care. It took me a long time to find a surgeon I trusted, I’m happy with my choice.

Writing this review about Mr A and his expertise has been one of the greatest honours to date. I went to see Mr A this year due to struggling with my weight for many years due to PCOs and hormonal issues and have seen that gastric sleeve surgery has a great success rate for it.

During my consultation, I was informed about the different gastric surgeries available and informed about the risks and complications with each one. Nevertheless, I quickly knew that going to Mr A I would be in the best hands and decided to proceed with booking in for a couple of weeks after.

Now, due to the extreme heatwave and already feeling quite swollen I was able to change my appointment to a later date with no issues. I saw Mr A one more time to sign my consent forms prior to my surgery and he answered any questions with his great knowledge.

As I am writing this feedback one week post op, I also want to mentioned what a smooth process my surgery was with no complications apart from being greatly concerned that I have NO pains, aches, discomfort since my surgery date. Even upon discharge, I have had NO issues at home and have been able to return to work 1 week later which a great big smile on my face. Mr A, thank you to you and your team for changing my life and being able to perform these high risk surgeries with no issues.

I had my treatment at The Spire East London. The staff were kind, friendly & professional. I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to The Spire East London.

My operation with Mr A was top class. I can not recommend him highly enough. The care and compassion he has for his patients are more than I could have even imagined.

I am so grateful Mr A is able to change my life for the better.

Mr A is the best in bariatrics, he is open, honest, extremely professional and has only your interests. Having had my surgery only 10 days ago and feeling so well I couldnt be happier. Pre and post op Mr A checked on me and is easily accessible with questions. Care is fantastic.

Spire London east staff were also extremely caring, regularly monitored me and couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. I turned to Mr A for a gastric sleeve after years of Yoyo dieting and fad diets. He discusses all options of WLS with you so you can make a fully informed decision

I had gastric sleeve surgery at The Rivers hospital by Mr Agrawal. From the first consultation Mr A not only advised me of the benefits of the surgery but also to consider what I was about to undertake very seriously. From the moment I said I would go ahead with surgery the staff were amazing, you are looked after from day 1. The aftercare has been amazing. I chose the Rivers because it was my nearest hospital and that it had great reviews. Definitely well worth the money, my life has been transformed all thanks to Mr A.

Excellent surgeon. Great care given. Recovery much better than I thought

Had an initial consultation on 20th September via a phone call. It was very enlightening conversation with everything being told to be what is great about having this procedure and what could go wrong. I think it’s best to be told everything so I was very impressed. I am still only 98% there on whether to have it done but I’ll be in touch with the clinic as soon as I am. I felt very reassured by everything I was told.

I had the gastric sleeve on July 30th 2022 and from the start of my journey, Mr Agrawal has made me feel safe and confident. I decided to have the surgery as I've struggled with my weight all my life and it was a last resort.

I chose rivers as it was near to me but on my first visit, I knew straight away it was the best choice.

Aĺ the nursing staff and Mr Agrawal were so very friendly and caring and I would totally recommend anyone to have surgery here.

After struggling with my weight all my life I felt I had no other options than to seek medical intervention. I was highly recommended to Mr Agrawal and from the 1st consultation he explained the whole process and challenges that come with the gastric sleeve. All risks and complications were clearly explained and not at any point did I feel that the procedure was being pushed on to me. Each step of the way was explained to me and any questions that I had(there was a lot) were answered clearly to me. I cannot thank Mr Agrawal enough as I am 2 weeks post op and have lost 3st since this process has started. He has given me a new lease of life. Thank you again Mr A.

I had a gastric sleeve and honestly couldn’t be happier, I had researched LOTS of surgeons and places and it always came back to Mr Agrawal. The price is fair and I would of paid double for this especially with how I feel now! I recommend this clinic and surgeon wholeheartedly

I had my gastric sleeve surgery at Spire London East hospital on the 9th June 2022 and I have absolutely no complaints whatsoever. From my first consultation with Dr Agrawal up until now (7 weeks post op) everything has been great, I can call/email my dietician and Dr Agrawal and they respond very quickly and are always there to help when I need them.

When I went to my first consultation, Dr Agrawal suggested I join the Facebook support group, which I did and I found it incredibly helpful and still do! There are members that are thinking of getting surgery, in the process, have had surgery and are weeks/months and years post op. The support group got me through every process, any questions I had people were always there to advise and help me where they could. I highly recommend joining it.

I’m 21 years old and have had problems with my weight for years. I had googled weight loss surgeries and Dr Agrawal explained the options and I decided the gastric sleeve was the best option for me. Surgery day came and everything went amazingly. The nurses were brilliant. I met with the anaesthetist, who was also brilliant and that was it, down to the theatre room I went. I cannot express how Dr Agrawal and all the nurses there helped me stay calm and kept me relaxed.

The moment I woke up there was a nurse and my mum waiting for me. I was still a bit out of it because of the general anaesthetic but other than that I felt fine. I am aware that everyone’s experience is different but I would go through it a million times over because of how great I feel now. My life has already changed for the better and I am genuinely so happy with my decision to have the surgery and my choice to go with Dr Agrawal.

I weighed 17.2stone the day before surgery and I now weigh 14.8stone (7 weeks post op). Dr Agrawal is so lovely and whenever I saw him in the hospital after surgery he would throw me a thumbs up and check I was okay which meant a lot. I highly recommend Dr Agrawal, he has done an amazing job and has helped me kick start a healthier and happier life.

I have received excellent care and treatment and would highly recommend this surgery.

I recently had surgery by Dr Agrawal. He & his team were excellent. From my 1st appointment everything was explained clearly and in detail. I was given contact details incase I required further details. I was able to book surgery on a date that suited me. Dr Agrawal has been in contact many times since my surgery and covers any worries I may have. I would definitely recommend him for WLS.

Absolutely fantastic surgeon and hospital, the staff couldn't do enough. A special thank you to Annette who was amazing and couldn't do enough. She even lent me a hairband. Mr A is so thorough and I love his knowledge and professionalism. Highly recommend Mr Agrawal and Rivers Hospital.

Mr A and his team are angels without wings! I cannot thank Mr A enough for his care, honesty and professionalism from start to finish. After researching the gastric sleeve since summer last year I decided to take the plunge for health reasons. I'm 49 years old and was 21 stone 4lb before surgery. I made an appointment to see Mr A and all the risks were explained including some that related to my own health conditions. I went ahead and booked at The Rivers in Sawbridgeworth. I had my surgery on 7th May 21. The rooms are lovely.

The staff went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and well looked after. They were encouraging, and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. Mr A visited me every day while I was there to check on me too. I've had no pain, just slight tenderness from the stitches and I've already dropped 33lbs (including LRD) in 5 1/2 weeks. The decision I made to have this surgery has been so worth it. My weight is dropping, my confidence is returning and I'm happier in myself already! Best decision I've ever made! Thank you Mr Agrawal and the whole team at The Rivers for such wonderful care!

Mr Agrawal has honestly changed my life! He has such a lovely bedside manner and made me feel very comfortable from the moment I sat down in his office!

He is a no-frills kind of man and will not try and & sell you weight loss surgery. He will focus on the risks of surgery and explain each procedure in detail to help you make your decision on if weight loss surgery is for you.

I had a gastric sleeve in May 2021 and have lost over 9 stone since! Following Mr Agrawal's guidelines, I've been able to change my life using the tool he gave me! If I could do it all over again I wouldn't choose anyone else!

I met with Mr Agrawal in March 21, after a very honest and open consultation we agreed a gastric Sleeve was the option for me, and my surgery was scheduled for May. The hospital I chose was local but the staff and whole environment was amazing. They made sure I was comfortable. Surgery was a smooth as could be and I woke up in no discomfort or pain. Nearly 1 year post op I have lost 8 stone and maintained that weight for the last 3months. Without the sleeve surgery I honest could say i wouldn't of been able to do that. I also had underactive thyroid and the results of losing all my extra weight has reversed that and no longer require medication. I feel like Mr Agrawal has provide me with the chance to live a happy and healthy life for me and my children and no longer be ashamed of what I saw in photos and the mirror.

I underwent gastric sleeve surgery at Rivers Hospital operated on by Mr Agrawal. The whole experience so far has been extremely good. I am 13 days post op and am doing really well with my recovery. I haven't had any pain just some discomfort for the first 24hrs. I would highly recommend Mr Agrawal and his team at Rivers Hospital. I have had 1st class care from start to finish. My advise would be follow the LRD and strict diet 100% as advised. I found the facebook group set up for pre and post patients a massive help and it often answered questions that I had been thinking about. I am so pleased I made the decision to go ahead with this surgery, I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever.

I spent a lot of time researching a surgeon I could trust based on the reviews of patients rather than big adverts. Time after time Dr Agrawal’s name came up with really positive reviews and it soon became clear that his patients felt they were in safe hands.

The whole surgery package was excellent value for money; the staff was exemplary and the care top-notch throughout. I cannot recommend Dr Agrawal or his team highly enough and I am most grateful to them.

After a lot of research and planning, I decided to have a gastric sleeve after struggling with my weight for years. I done some extensive research to find the right surgeon for me and Mr Agrawal’s name kept coming up on top. Everything I kept reading about him was how he is extremely thorough and never has any complications. It was a no brainer I knew straight away I was in safe hands. Since having my sleeve I am extremely impressed and amazed with how well my surgery went and how fast I am recovering. From the moment I stepped into spire hospital, I was treated amazingly by all the staff and made to feel at ease. My surgery went perfectly and I can honestly say I was up and walking around the next morning. I was so surprised at how well I was feeling. Since being at home I have had no issues at all. I was back to feeling my normal self within a few days. I highly recommend Mr Agrawal and his team and I have been so pleasantly surprised buy how smooth my journey has been.

It took me 2 years to make the decision to have bariatric surgery. During which time I saved and did some research. The result was that I knew I had to select not just a good surgeon but a good support system to ensure success.

When I picked Mr. Agrawal I got 2 appointments pre-surgery to discuss, what, why, when. This included talking about the general risks and downsides of bariatric surgery to ensure I wasn't going in with rose-tinted glasses. Plus several appts post-surgery to check on progress. I currently have 1 more appointment to go which will be in month 9 post-op. I had a nutritionist was appointed to me, an online support group of Mr. A's bariatric patients who share tips, tricks & traps to help each other through the process and beyond.

I also received a monthly online meeting for Q&A's or sometimes special guests which so far have included as a psychologist 1 month and a pharmacist another month. Letters were sent to my local GP throughout the process, to ensure they were up to date. Plus the care at the hospital was professional, prompt, and caring.

The anaesthetist spent time listening to my medical history & adapted what he did to ensure it worked for me. 1 nurse looped arms with me as I went down for surgery because she could see I was nervous. Another checked beforehand if I had ever had a particular procedure before and talked me through it beforehand, plus she was so gentle.

So yes I can recommend them with Mr. Agrawal via the Harley Street Obesity Clinic.

Fantastic experience with Dr Agrawal. I was sleeved on Sept 16th having been overweight for years and tried every diet and healthy eating fad going. I had excellent advice from Dr Agrawal, he was not pushy at all and very realistic about the pros and cons of the surgery. Throughout the process, he has always been very approachable and continues to support me a few months down the line. I couldn't be happier with the results and feel so much healthier and more in control of what I eat. The Spire East London was an excellent hospital in every respect from the comfort of my stay to the very experienced and supportive hospital staff. I did a great deal of research before making this huge decision to be sleeved and I wouldn't have done it with any other surgeon.

With my health suffering due to my weight, and not being able to shift the weight partly due to my ill health, I decided I needed an intervention, and bariatric surgery seemed to tick the box.

On the recommendation of another, I looked up the surgeon they used and started to do my homework on Dr. Sanjay Agrawal (Mr. A). Having been pleased with what I read, I booked my first consultation.

I wanted to have the gastric sleeve. It was clear at this point that it was not going to be easy. I thought that being a 'paying customer' I would have no barriers, but it was clear that Mr. A is not someone to take your money and perform the surgery unless it is RIGHT and SAFE for you.

Suffering with sleep apnoea, I was told that without a complete heart m.o.t. Mr. A and his aneasthetist would not be happy to operate. I paid privately for the tests and came back with the results which were good enough to proceed. I was told however that a condition of them doing the surgery was the location it was to be performed at had to have ERU/ICU (extended recovery or intensive care) within.

My preferred location of the Rivers in Herts didn't have this, so I had to look elsewhere finally settling on the Spire East, London as this was the second nearest to me and had the ERU required. However, even then, after the second consultation, Mr. A made it clear that I would have a 3-week liver reduction plan to follow (LRD), and if I did not lose a significant amount of weight prior to surgery the surgery could be in doubt.

I followed the plan to a T. I lost the weight and the surgery was completed. What with isolation (2 weeks) and some issues in the week leading up to the surgery (I had to re-attend as my first covid test was inconclusive, and then re-attend again as one of my blood tests 'failed'), it was quite a stressful second week, but once admitted and happy it was going ahead I was excited.

The hospital stay was for 2 nights, the room was comfortable and the staff within were pleasant. Mr. A is an absolute gentleman. He is so understanding, speaks to you in layman's terms, and is clear from the off around risk, and expectation. I am just over 2 weeks post-op as I write, feeling amazing, and have already lost a significant amount of weight.

I cannot recommend him and his team enough, and have actually recommended him to a friend who has already had her first consultation with him! It's a lot to take in, and ultimately an expensive solution, but what price can you put on living longer.? This was the way I looked at it in the end, I truly believe Mr. A has given me this opportunity, and am and will be eternally grateful for taking me on.

Mr Agrawal is an honest and knowledgeable surgeon. I did lots of research to find him and I was very happy with my choice. From the outset Mr A ensured I felt empowered to make my own decision and supported that with his vast knowledge as a master Bariatric surgeon.

The care from his team has been wonderful and I can honestly say that this man has changed my life. At 12 weeks post-op, I have lost 5 stone and regained control of my life. It has not been a walk in the park and Mr A makes sure that you work with “your tool” to get the best outcome.

I have no problem with recommending him and his team to anyone interested in having weight loss surgery. Thank you Mr Agrawal

Dr. Agrawal is an incredible professional that ensures that you are fully prepared and realistic about your surgery. I felt safe and reassured throughout my journey with him, the procedure (gastric sleeve) went smoothly with no complications and the results were wonderful! I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family.

I booked a consultation with Dr Agrawal to discuss having a gastric sleeve operation to help me lose weight, I had spent years dieting, I would lose a bit then put it all back on plus more and every year I was just getting bigger and bigger, I knew I needed help to lose all the weight and that I wasn’t able to do it on my own, on my first consultation with Dr Agrawal he explained all about the different weight loss surgeries available and gave me information to take home to read, he made sure I 100% knew what risks there could be too, it was scary hearing what could possibly go wrong but it’s the same as any operation, there are always risks, Dr Agrawal makes sure you are 100% informed & 100% sure about your decision, he is the best at what he does and is good value for money too, my stay in the rivers hospital was the best I have experienced, the nurses were very attentive, caring and friendly, same with my follow up appointments. I’m 9 months post-op now and 6th lighter, I have no complications, I can eat anything, just in smaller amounts, I have no regrets whatsoever! This operation really has changed my life, I feel a lot healthier & more confident. Dr Agrawal has given me my life back and would 100% recommend him for bariatric surgery.

After doing a lot of research, I decided to opt for VSG with Mr A based on his experience as a Master Surgeon.

I truly felt he was the absolute best in his field, and that proved to be the case throughout my journey. Mr A has a great bedside manner and truly cares for his patients, whilst being open and honest, which is exactly what you need from your surgeon. I was in the best possible hands and would not have changed a thing.

I could not recommend Mr A highly enough!

I had a sleeve gastrectomy in October 2020 with Mr Agrawal and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. The care and advice from Mr Agrawal were second to none, he explained everything clearly and concisely and managed my expectations. The surgery went smoothly and I have had no issues - just positives. I’m so happy that I chose Mr Agrawal for this surgery.

Brilliant team and level of care. Could not fault them. I had a brilliant experience with this clinic and the aftercare has been great.

I had gastric sleeve surgery at the end of August 2020 and I am now a nearly 6 stone lighter. The process with Mr Agrawal and his team have been so smooth from start to finish. Mr Agrawal is extremely honest, factual and clear when discussing the surgery and ensures you are aware of all the pros and cons so you can make an informed decision in your own time when you feel ready. The aftercare is outstanding with fantastic care and support throughout. The nurses at Rivers hospital really are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. I still have some way to go but I am so happy with my results and aftercare. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr Agrawal and his wonderful team to anyone who is looking into this procedure.

I was recommended to Mr Agrawal by a friend who had undergone Gastric Band surgery and I am so glad I made the appointment to meet with him. Mr Agrawal took the time to explain the different options available to me, the process and the procedure and was always available to answer any questions that I had along the way.

When I met Mr Agrawal I had not made my mind up about which surgery to have but he took the time to explain the risks and the benefits of each and we agreed that a gastric band was the most appropriate and I agree 2.5 years on that it was the right decision. Being able to adjust the band if required, if I am struggling to eat, losing weight too quickly, not fast enough then I can easily book an appointment to have it adjusted which just isn't an option with the other surgeries.

In all of the conversations leading up to the surgery, I felt supported and never pressured into going ahead, in fact, he helped me to rationalise why I wanted to have the surgery in the first place and what life would be like afterwards.

My experience with Rivers Hospital has been extremely positive. The staff are professional, friendly and specialist in what they do. I have had several appointments both prior to and since my surgery and I have never had a bad experience.

Rivers Hospital is over an hour from my home and I could have undergone the surgery much closer to home but the service and support that I have received from Mr Agrawal and the team have been second to none and I would recommend anyone that is looking to have gastric surgery to do your research, visit the hospital and meet the consultant and check that you are comfortable before booking.

Mr Agrawal and his team put me at ease straight away and I have zero regrets about having my surgery with him at this hospital.

Gastric Sleeve by Mr Agrawal. Excellent service by Mr Agrawal, very friendly, puts you at ease and is extremely factual explaining the highs and the lows of the operation in great detail so that you can make a fully informed decision. His follow up care is exceptional and I would highly recommend Mr Agrawal to anyone considering surgery. I would certainly choose him again, knowing what I know now.

Where to begin on my weight loss journey.

I decided after so many long discussions and thoughts with my husband about WLS to take the plunge and meet with a DR to discuss different options. I come across Dr Agrawal through the internet and after doing a lot of research on himself I decided I would like to go ahead and meet him for a consultation. From the very first phone call with his assistant to the day of surgery Dr Agrawal made me feel happy in my decision. He is a Dr so nothing he said was under false pretences he was very upfront and honest with me about everything to do with this surgery the pros and cons and the risks that come with surgery. As honest as he was this only made me feel safer with having him as my Dr I had my surgery at Rivers hospital and OMG to how amazing everybody was. No matter how nervous I felt there was a nurse there to take your mind off.

After surgery, I couldn't have been looked after better. Aftercare was amazing and 6 months out after gastric sleeve and 30 kilos lighter I can honestly say this is the best decision of my life. It was not the easiest decision and every different stage of this journey brings a new challenge but they are all worth it for the end result. Dr Agrawal is still always there if needed and I have seen him twice since surgery and also spoke to Liz the nutritionist twice since although I am sure If I needed her more she would be there with great advice. There is also a wonderful Facebook support group which is great for people that have had surgery and for people thinking about it.

I hope this review helps anyone that is about to take this journey as I read many reviews when I was beginning my journey and everyone helped me in my decision.

My experience with Mr Agrawal has been exceptional. On detailed advice on all of the pros and cons of any bariatric surgery, I decided to have the gastric sleeve procedure. This was to help me regain control of my weight and health, and I believed Mr Agrawal was the best surgeon to help me with this.

Mr Agrawal’s requirements are strict but I was happy to comply to get the best results. I had very little discomfort after the procedure and the recovery time after the operation was very quick.

The results I have had at now three months post-op have been amazing and I am very happy with my decision to have surgery. I have used the Rivers Hospital on several occasions for other procedures, so I felt happy and confident to use them again. My care at all stages was second to none.

I had a gastric sleeve completed by Mr Agrawal in Oct 2020. From the get-go, Mr A was very informative and helpful with any questions I had. He doesn't try to sell the operation to you and makes sure you know all the risks involved, but my journey has been so smooth and I honestly believe it is down to the fact he is amazing at what he does. I'm so happy I had him as my surgeon!
