I’m lost almost 20 kg’s during this 6 month period, feel much better, energetic since I started to be loosing weight step by step start doing sports and activities.
By now I’m running 5,5-6kms 3-4x per week(I never run before and I’m absolutly obsessed by, almost inconvenience if I miss?? one of my running sessions and totaly reshaped…everybody who’s see me since my operation asking what happend with me I’m looking amazing…And I tell them I feel amazing? myself!
Les hele historienMy weight steadystate around 71kg in the last month did not loosing but I think probably because my body fat/muscle proportion changeing due to the intensive running.
I dropped dress size from UK size 18 to UK size 12-14 so happy….so need to change my whole wardrobe…but don’t mind it is a really one of the best happy changeing.
This is a totaly different lifestyle, needed to change my eating habits, portions and have to change my lifestyle for it but I’m flexible so it does not bother me, I see almost the amazing consequenses, encourage me and just have to listen to my body and tell me what I need and how often and importantly how slowly…this was the biggest change to learn how slowly need to eat and what and how small portion for my comfort feeling. But by now I’m pretty confident with these as well.
So summery I’m so happy and this was my one of the best decision in my life to apply for this operation on your clinic, I can not be greatful enough for your very professional teamwork for this treatment and your kindness.
After several years of considering bariatric surgery and wanting to do it since 2010, I finally found an affordable option with Bariatric Services. I turned 40 in 2016 and did not want to spend another year being overweight, with low self-esteem unable to enjoy my life with my husband and kids.
Initially I was very nervous as I read some horror stories on the internet regarding hospitals offering bariatric surgery that ended up with the patient having terrible complications, but I had a good feeling when I looked at Bariatric Service’s website.
Les hele historienI contacted them and Merle responded. The whole process was very easy from start to finish. Everything was explained to me as to what I needed to do pre-surgery and about the procedure and what to expect.
We scheduled a date for the surgery. I arrived in Tallin on a Monday and Merle collected me from the airport. She was friendly and welcoming. She drove me to a hotel and made sure I got booked in and told me she would be back the next morning to collect me.
The next morning Merle collected me and I arrived at the hospital. Some tests were performed in the morning and I met with Dr. Ilmar Kaur and my surgery took place late afternoon.
The care I received was beyond my expectations. I had my own private room. The hospital was very clean and modern. I was well taken care of and the staff very helpful and friendly.
The first 12 weeks after surgery was probably the hardest, but if you follow the Dr.’s orders you should have no complications.
I reached my personal weight goal at 9 months post-op, but have continued to lose weight. I managed to walk 15km which I never thought possible without any pain to my feet, back and legs.
I gained so much self-esteem that I applied for a job and got it which I also never thought possible as I have not worked for 6 years. I really believe losing the weight assisted in me getting the job. Not only has it improved my self-esteem, but it also has improved my health significantly.
Dr. Kaur and his team has really changed my life and it truly has been a New Begging for me. I could not thank them enough and would highly recommend them.
As an Australian, surgery is very expensive and I was planning on moving to the UK, where surgery is also very expensive, so while I had been wrestling with the idea of surgery for years, it wasn’t financially viable for me in either of these places. My asthma getting worse, weight not going anywhere, and generally feeling very uncomfortable with my body, on the day I turned 31 I made the decision to book.
Les hele historienThe Bariatric Services in Tallinn were one of a couple of international clinics I was looking at, but I was very impressed with Merle (the program coordinator) and her fast feedback and assistance with my questions. I had a lot of questions about things like after care, specific problems I may have in surgery, and once they were all answered I booked in to have my surgery 2 weeks later! I spent 5 days in Tallinn, the first day I was able to walk around the city which was fantastic, and then the rest of the week was hospital time! Merle was there to meet me at the airport and took me to my hotel, as well as helping me to find out where to see! The next day she picked me up and took me to the hospital where I was given my own room! I met the team of doctors before surgery and asked lots of questions, ran some tests, and then it was time for the surgery. The entire process was amazing – I was very very nervous, not only because I was away from home but also because I hadn’t had a major surgery since I was about 4 years old. The entire team were incredibly helpful in making sure I felt comfortable and well informed at every stage! Not only was I taken care of in hospital, but I was given a fantastically detailed plan to take home and follow for the next stage of my life. I’m happy to say I had no complications and honestly feel like a new person! For people who may be interested in travelling overseas for bariatric surgery, I would highly recommend coming to Tallinn and doing it through Bariatric Services. Not only is it cost effective, the hospital is fantastic, and the team will always be on hand for you if you need assistance.
I want to thank Merle, Dr Miidla, Dr Kaur and Kristel (RN and nutritionist) for making this process so easy and for giving me a new lease on life!
From the first day I contacted Bariatric Services in Estonia right up until I was dropped back at the airport after the surgery I was given the highest standard of treatment and care a patient could receive. I would 100% recommend their services to anyone considering treatment and believe it to far excel the private treatment I would have received here in the UK at nearly half the price.
Les hele historienEvery member of the team played their part in giving me all the info I needed and putting me at ease for the duration of my trip and treatment and I am extremely grateful to them all. Exceptional team, great coordinater, communication and very high standards of cleanliness and care in the hospital, could not fault a thing!
Now, 19 months ago I went to my Sleeve and it was the best decision of my life. I decided to go to Bariatric Services after examining several advantages. I liked very well Dr Ilmar and the hospital on the website. I sent an email to Merle and got answers very quickly and could ask for anything I wanted.
Les hele historienMy husband and I flew to Tallinn from Iceland but I would not go alone and felt safer to have my husband with. We arrived 2 days before surgery, the lovely Merle booked hotel for us in the old town so we could view the town. Very beautiful place.
Merle picked us up on a Monday morning, we went to the hospital and shown the place, my husband was with me at the hospital, were just two in a room. The surgery was later in the day, it was all explained very well for me and all the staff was great. Almost all spoked English, I must say that all the people, nurses, doctor, dietician, just everyone who approached me were wonderful. I was in the hospital until Thursday and flew to Iceland on Friday.
It has all been successful. I’ve been under the supervision of my GP in Iceland, I received instructions from Dr Ilmar for my doctor for monitoring the operation. I also received a few emails after the operation from Ilmar to check my condition and I had full access to them by phone or email if I needed to keep.
I have lost 64 kg and now I feel so good. I’m in the gym to strengthen me and increase my stamina.
Now next on is saving money for surgery to remove skin from stomach, upper arms and thighs, the loose skin is the only drawback I see the operation ?
I recommend this place and I will come back there when I fix the skin. Awesome staff, it’s all there 100%
I just want to let you know that the gastric bypass has changed my life. I’m soooo Happy now. Thanks to you all for the exellent service you provide!
Here’s some before and after pictures
Les hele historienA couple of months ago, I was told by many doctors that most of my health problems were caused by my overweight. Allthough I didn’t eat too much, the only option I had was looking for help, which I was very lucky to Get offered by Bariatric Services in Estland. The hospitality was excellent as well as the follow up.
Les hele historienI was afraid that Even the surgery wouldn’t be able to give me weight loss AS I tried everything before.Now almost five months later, I lost 25 Kg. I go for small walks AS I still have my other health problems. But I feel much more confident again, which is very important to me as well ! I’ll never be able to express my gratitude enough. But this was the best decision I made . I found them on the Internet without knowing somebody who was there before. The way I was taken care off was exceptional wonderfull .
Thanks to all of you
I started to look into bariatric surgery for a while ago until I finally got the courage and went to my local bariatric clinic to the info meetings and even made an the pre-appointment meeting with the surgeons, anesthesiologists, nutritionists, etc that would have been in charged of my surgery. I felt more like a cow in a slaughterhouse than in a clinic and took the decision to do it, so I spoke to my GP and asked me of how much was I going to pay for and he recommended me to look abroad, and I did. After an extensive look all over Europe I decided to go with Bariatric Services in Tallinn Estonia.
Les hele historienMerle (patient coordinator) answered every single email with all my questions that I asked and those where she didn’t have an immediate answer got me back the day after with the answers after consulting with the rest of the bariatric team. When all my questions were answered I made the decision to go with Bariatric Services.
Merle met me at the airport, took me to my hotel and picked me up at the hotel the day after and we went to the hospital where I had my own private room and toilet, wifi, tv, etc; there, I had my tests done by fully capable nurses and met Dr. Ilmar Kaur, my surgeon. We went through the details of the surgery (including the bad and ugly), and I’ve got sleeved that evening. Some part of my decision was that my surgery had to be done at a hospital (North Estonia Medical Centre) in a big city and not a clinic 2 hours away from a city just in case there is an emergency.
The nurses took care of me amazingly. Every time I needed help they were there, and even if their English language is not perfect (like mine) there were never any misunderstandings nor lack of communication, and Dr. Kaur visited me every single day of my stay of four days in Tallinn twice per day to check on me. Also RN Kristel Janvest followed me up with my diet plan and life style change every day as well.
I’m three weeks out of my operation and even though it’s really recent I couldn’t wait to write a review for Bariatric Surgery. Merle is still checking on me and reporting my amazing recovery back to Dr. Kaur and RN Janvest…. And… I’m down on my meds!
I’m really grateful of this whole experience, and so far… one of the best decisions that I’ve taken in my life!
After much back and forth, and many thoughts, conversations with doctors, various Hospital I decided a gastric bypass surgery.
Les hele historienbut then I have little BMI and no follow ailments, I had to pay it yourself. Then it went a little more time to google hospital utlande offering this operation. And what price ranges they had. After many mail back and forth to different hospitals, the choice fell on my Bariatric Services and I have not regretted
Everything was agreed by mail, and I must admit I had a lot of butterflies in my stomach when I boarded the plane and had thoughts that there are some who meet me at the airport, is this safe, I have taken a wrong choice now, etc .. ..
But when I walked by pla and Tallinn came velkomshallen stood Merle and waited as agreed. Then sank pulse many notches and I felt a bit saves.
After 15 minutes in the car, we came to the hospital. I was very excited about it was clean, and how it looked and how the staff there.
I got a private room in 9 floor, which was clean and quite common as a hospital room in Norway. With television, vindue, bed, nightstand, small bathroom with shower.
After 10 minutes the doctor came in and we talked. He told what would happen that day, and how we went forward. Which samples to be taken, when at the surgery should be done.
The doctor was easy to talk to, and you feel the doctor saw you as a person, not just as something they earned money on.
The nurses were nice and helpful, but some of those were probably a bit unsure when they do not speak good English. But there were no problems, there was someone on each shift as they can get, which can translate.
Operation went as planned and I got talked kostveilder and doctor the day after surgery. And I had it fine afterwards.
I would gladly recommend Bariatric Services without problems, I have felt safe during the entire course. It costs less than many other places. You are safe during the entire course and you get help and advice during the entire course.
This is opportunity for me to give you some feedback: my experience at your hospital, with all your personnel and wonderful dr Ilmar was excellent. Surgeon Ilmar is very kind, experienced and patient, explained to me everything in detail and I got answers to all my questions. I would definitely recommend Bariatric services to my friends thinking of same kind of surgery I had.
