Everything I Had Hoped For

Review of Bariatric Services by FAustin. Treatment date: over 12 months

As an Australian, surgery is very expensive. I was planning on moving to the UK, where surgery is also costly. So, while I had been contemplating surgery for years, it wasn’t financially viable for me in either of these places. My asthma was worsening, weight stubbornly refusing to budge, and I felt extremely uncomfortable in my body. On my 31st birthday, I made the life-changing decision to book my surgery. Bariatric Services in Tallinn stood out among the international clinics I was considering. I was highly impressed with Merle, the program coordinator, for her prompt responses and assistance with my queries. After getting all my concerns addressed, I scheduled my surgery for 2 weeks later. Spending five days in Tallinn was a mix of exploring the city on the first day and being in the hospital for the rest of the week. Merle’s support from airport pickup to hospital check-in was invaluable. Meeting the doctors, undergoing tests, and finally going through with the surgery, the entire process was incredible. Despite my nervousness being away from home and facing a major surgery after years, the team ensured I felt informed and comfortable throughout. The post-operative care was stellar, and I left with a comprehensive plan for the next phase of my life. Thanks to the exceptional care by the team including Merle, Dr. Miidla, Dr. Kaur, and Kristel, I emerged from this experience complication-free, feeling like a new person. For those considering bariatric surgery abroad, I wholeheartedly recommend Tallinn and Bariatric Services – cost-effective, superb hospital facilities, and an attentive support team make the journey worth it.
