“Kahetsen vaid seda, et ei teinud seda juba varem” – on kaalukirurgia patsientide poolt enim öeldud lause peale operatsiooni

initial enquiry and then the very professional and organised way in which everything was dealt with.

Merle answered every question in detail in perfect English – explained what the different procedures might be and arranged for my mother to stay in the hotel while I was in Tallinn.  The hotel had a supermarket a couple of minute away and was only a few minutes walk from the Old Town for sightseeing.  Merle met us at the airport as arranged and we were taken to the hotel for our overnight stay.  The following morning we were picked up and taken to the hospital.  The surgeon Ilmar Kaur was there to greet us and explain exactly what would happen and when.  His English was extremely good as were one or two of the nurses so there was no problem in getting information at every point.  I had a private room and with the exception of the endoscopy all the various tests were carried out in that room.  Once he had seen what surgery was required it was carried out in the late afternoon and Dr Kaur telephoned my mother immediately afterwards to let her know how things had gone.  He came in to see me at least twice every day and I could not fault his manner or his expertise.  Additionally because I had the malabsorption surgery he explained that in the rare event that I did not lose the expected amount of weight he would perform further surgery for me at no extra charge.  I was extremely happy with everything and am very grateful to Merle and Bariatric Services for arranging things for us so competently.  I highly recommend them and would be happy to chat to anyone considering this service if they would like me to.
