ECFS Obesity Solutions - UK & Ireland to Belgium

After speaking to Judith JobIing at Gastric Band Support Manchester (who I also highly recommend and who has been doing my fills for a couple of years) chose to go to Belgium for a replacement Gastric Band as mine developed a leak. She recommended Obesity Solutions and got in touch with Chris Deprez the Patient Care Manager on my behalf and he contacted me straight away. The process was very smooth and I had a couple of calls and Zoom meetings with him where he explained everything and answered all of my questions.

It was such a different experience from the place I initially used for my Band and then subsequently for a breast reduction. I used The Hospital Group then changed its name I believe to Transform Hospital Group. (I would recommend people do not use this hospital, I have put reviews on their website.)

I arrived in Belgium with my wife who was allowed to stay in the hotel provided for me at no extra cost. We were collected at the airport and dropped off at our hotel. Any other travel to and from appointments etc was provided in the cost and the driver even collected us from the train station after a day out in Brugge. All my appointments were on time and hassle-free.

The morning of the operation I was collected at my hotel and dropped off at the Hospital at 7 am. By 7.45 am I was in the theatre and the operation was finished by 8.30 am. The nursing, admin and surgical staff were fantastic, they could not do enough for me. I was collected from the hospital at 1 pm and taken back to my hotel. I ended up just having a port replacement as that was the part that was leaking. Chris had explained that the Surgeon may do that after the leak was identified on an x-ray the day before.

The pain was minimal straight after the operation and has virtually gone now after 1 week. I have had regular contact with Chris since the operation and getting back to England. I have an app on which I log my ongoing weight and I have direct access to Chris anytime. It also is full of other info regarding aftercare, diets, what to do etc.

I am honestly overwhelmed with thanks to Chris, his team & the medical staff in Belgium. I also received a refund as the operation was not as big as I first thought. If I had to go for any further treatment, given the choice I would choose Obesity Solutions every time. Thank you so much, everyone.

Excellent service from initial consultation in London to booking surgery in Belgium to post-surgery follow up.

Brilliant surgeon, surgery, hospital (gastric sleeve) with zero issues afterwards. Now 6 months later and I can positively say it has definitely been one do the best things I’ve ever done for my future health.

I had bariatric surgery done about ten years ago. Before I decided to go through with this procedure, I thoroughly researched the clinic. The price was good at the time and my surgery went well.

The clinic made a very good impression on me. I remember the lady I spoke to answered all of my questions and she was so reassuring. The surgery did require me to have follow-ups at the time and I went for these. They also had a full aftercare package but I didn’t go for this option.

I had surgery for a Gastric Band, the surgeon and staff were very informed and very helpful. Their price was good and I actually took time to check their reviews where I felt that it was a good fit for me then I decided to choose them.They really took care of me from the beginning to the end of my treatment.

Their service is fantastic, I received follow up after care treatment. I am also receiving regular meetings with them regarding my treatment. If there's any questions the Doctor is available and he will always respond. I am very happy with their service.

I had a gastric band in Belgium through ECFS best decision i ever made, smooth & easy process from start to finish!

I had a great experience, all i had to do was book my flights & chris & the team took care of the rest, i felt really safe & comfortable & i was really well looked after!

Gastric Sleeve 21 Oct 2015. Everything was explained very carefully to me and I had all my questions answered clearly and simply. There was no hard sell just the facts. After my first consultation I was allowed to walk away and make my decision in my own time without being constantly bombarded by emails etc.

Cannot praise the treatment and care that I received highly enough. Everything was organised before leaving this country and worked seamlessly from my arrival in Lille. Chris Deprez who was my first point of contact in this country mentally held my hand from the start. He was a comforting presence whilst hospitalised and after the surgery whilst recovering back at the hotel.
Anyone who is considering treatment should seriously consider the ECFS route. I can't even remember how I found them but so very glad that I did. They do not make outlandish claims about 'celebrity surgeons' or any other such nonsense. They just do a very good job quietly and efficiently.

I'm losing weight day by day, however, I'm very careful with what I'm eating. Don't think if you went under this operation, magic would happen. NO it wouldn't work if you continue your bad eating habit. This operation 100% would help you to lose weight but to cure your obesity you definitely need your will power for most.

Very friendly I felt really comfy to discuss everything with them. Also in Belgium all the team were very friendly. I was alone through my treatment but because of this great team I never felt even 1% loneliness.
