Hello there mate, most people on this forum go to Alex Kardidis, Dr Benito or Paul levick as far as i know.
I havent heard anything about Michael Cadier yet, did you ask him how many operations he has done till date and how he would do the procedure?
I was lucky enough to get a top surgeon and top hospital through the NHS and i am very very happy and pleased with everything.
I will post up a diary later on today with pictures.

If you have any doubts or questions i guarantee you that you are at the right place for advice as i have been helped alot through some fellas here!

avx, depending on the severity of your condition depends on the price, i found that alot of places quoted that figure of 4.8k. Salisbury and Southampton both did before even seeing me, i used the hampshire clinic in bstoke

some how i didnt think to ask him how many he has done, but i've just made a Appointment for monday with Dr Kardidis, so i'll see how that goes.

well done on getting it on the nhs i hear that can be a long process. how long did it take and how much hassel was it to get it threw the NHS, and on what grounds did they pass it?

thanks for your advice.

Cheers

Hi tali

my condition is pretty bad. I dont like to spend £5k but I'm not to bothered by the price just want to get the best job possible, as its only going to be a few hundred between different Dr's

Cheers

I had a consultation with kardidis a few weeks ago

i was quoted

£4240 in total

all in no extra costs apparentley, o but you need to have a blood test (compulsary!) for £130! And then he hospital fees are going up 4% id estimate it at about £70 cause the fees were around £1500 mark. I got told not to wory about revision cause its "Free" well no his time is free but youve still got to pay all of your hospital fees (and aftercare etc no doubt will cost a fortune!).

So be prepared to pay about the £4500 with karidis (mines a mild case), and an 8 week wait from consultation if you want to book on the day you have to pay a staggering £1000 deposit! Also incorporate your travel costs! if your prepared to spend 4.8k then karidis is the best


Try the NHS though! Theres some really good surgeons about! Are you at a healthy BMI? if not the nhs will probally just tell you to loose weight till you reach a healthy bmi

Hey,

Levick located in Birmingham seems to be cheap compared to the £4800!!

I was charged £3995 including the consultation cost of £100.

He is also very experienced so maybe you could check him out.

Hi chancer

my BMI was 41 and is now 27, so still above average but doing training to lose more before the op.

hello there avx
surprisingly going through NHS was not bad at all for me. i think it even took me less to wait for than if i would of gone private.
my case was very severe though and the surgeon knew this just by looking at me and speaking about how it affects me, i told him i cant even take my shirt of in front of my misses and he was the first i spoke to about it lol

All in all, it took me about 2 weeks after speaking to my GP about it to get seen by the surgeon he then immediately decided for surgery and the same day i went for my pre op procedures. about 2 months later i had the surgery and now i am 4 days post surgery and i am very very happy with everything. i have just posted my diary aswell in case you are interested

if you have any other questions mate there is alot of people here that are very helpfull and if u want to know anything about the nhs then just ask me what ever u want to know

Cheers for the advice Christian
your post op pics look great and you obviously got a good surgeon, the only thing that bothers me about the NHS is not knowing or being able to choose your surgeon, when going private you can choose the best available.

Cheers

Thanks avx, i consider myself lucky that i had a good surgeon.
At the end of the day, it was the best decision i could do to have the surgery. i feel alot better now even though i am still in my vest and not healed yet! but what a difference it makes!
Have the surgery and let ure mates know that you will and that you might not be able to make it there dependant on your situation and how you feel. if you choose any excuse just choose something in body region so that they wont expect anything if your top half is bandaged up lol

glad i could help out.
Dont worry mate, you will be fine no matter how you will decide!
