6 weeks ago I had the gastric sleeve surgery done by Dr Niruven Rajasagaram. I just had my 6 week post surgery follow up appointment and I couldn’t be happier with everything. I am feeling great for the first time in a long time! Dr Niruben and his team are amazing!! Couldn’t reccomend him enough. If you are thinking about it, just do it :)

The whole medical team were really wonderful and so supportive throughout the whole experience and Dr Niruben is so approachable and friendly. The dietician has been amazing too, very helpful and really supportive with all my hundreds of questions both before and after the op. The hospital was busy, but the staff were great.

Had a cholecystectomy early last week. Another surgeon was initially scheduled, but as upper gastrointestinal is Dr Niruben’s specialty, he was recommended to take the op. From first contact Dr Niruben was professional and personable. Op went well and recovery is progressing well. Follow up appt scheduled for Jan with Dr Niruben. Can highly recommend.
