Mr Mlotshwa was absolutely wonderful. He kept me updated every step of the way, gave me reassurance whenever I needed it and plenty of opportunities to ask questions. I'm now 5 months post-op and couldn't be happier. A huge thank you to him and his team!

I don’t think I could have had a better surgeon and team. I have had first class care and felt very secure knowing I could call anytime. I am delighted with the results.

I cannot recommend Makho enough. One year on from my surgery I am 100% satisfied with the surgery and outcomes, the pre and post communications, Makho made himself available to answer my questions. He was patient and explained the procedure clearly as well as showing real interest in the recovery and ongoing weight loss and health benefits. The nurse and nutritionist follow-ups were excellent. Faultless end to end. I have no hesitation in recommending Makho and team.

A lovely consultant. He explained exactly what he would be doing and how long it would take, recovery time, etc.and was open to any questions i had explaining exactly what i wanted to know. He has a lovely manner and i trusted him completely as i was a bit nervous at the decision i had made to go through with the operation. I have spoken to him twice since the operation and have been reassured that everything is healing well and that the operation was a complete success.

Mr Mlotshwa was wonderful from my first to last contact. I initially enquired about a Gastric Bypass but after discussion we agreed upon a Gastric Sleeve and I have not doubted that decision for one moment. My care wad expectational throughout my hospital stay and I had very little pain. My recovery was completely straightforward and I was able to move to the different stages of food texture earlier than I imagined possible. One year post surgery, my weight loss has been steady and I am thrilled to be over five stone lighter. The journey continues but with the support from Mr Mlotshwa and all of the team I know I can achieve my goals. Mr Mlotshwa is kind, funny and generous with his time. You could not be in better hands.

Mr Mlotshwa has been amazing to me. From the first consultation when he was so non judgmental and took the time to listen to my worries and questions. I felt so at ease after I had the initial consultation and I left that conversation feeling so excited for my future after the surgery.
