I would like to personally thank Prof. Senapati and his amazing team for changing my life for good

After being a large person all of my life and trying many ways to lose weight I was in need of help. A friend recommended Prof. Senapati.

I arranged a consultation even during Covid they were extremely facilitating. We discussed everything in my life, my history and he explained the procedure. I felt feeling happy and satisfied with the information I had received. I needed to complete some sleep studies before having the operation to check for any complications which his team arranged for me.

Prof. Senapati managed to get me through extremely fast. I had several calls with dieticians regarding the process and medication etc and was guided through the LRD part of the pre op sending out menus and documentation with support.

On the day of operation, I arrived. The hospital was extremely clean and very organised during the Covid pandemic. I was taken to my room where I waited to be called. The team were so helpful and accommodating making sure my personal belongings were safe and I had everything I needed.

Once I came round, I was checked up on constantly with the nurses extremely nice encouraging me to start drinking and to get up and walking as soon as possible.

I am now nearly 18 months post op and have lost just short of my 10 stone. I am a new person and what a change in life I have now. No more napping after work. I’ve started mountain biking, paddle boarding, hiking and have managed to play squash for the first time in over 12 years. As a Scout leader in the local area, I’m able to participate in even more activities.

During the 18 months I have received many calls from Prof. Senapati’s support team and dieticians checking on my progress and what a lovely bunch of people they are. They talk to me with such enthusiasm to help keep me motivated.

This operation is a life changing decision and one that I am glad I have done. However, this is a decision that should not be taken lightly. This isn’t a get thin quick solution, it is a tool and should only be seen as such. It’s a decision that has changed my life for the better. No more binge eating. I’m on small portions and will be for the rest of my life. No more fizzy drinks for me either.

I would like to personally thanks Prof. Senapati and his amazing team for changing my life for good.
