The entire experience has been wonderful. Warm, welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Mr Hamouda is confident, caring, easy to talk to and very encouraging. The difference in my life is more than just the successful weight loss - I feel like ‘me’ again. Would not hesitate to recommend this whole team to anyone researching their choices. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

From the moment I made the decision to have this procedure at benenden, the process was smooth, clear and concise. I had opted for benenden due to numerous recommendations from medical professionals for Mr Hamouda. His kind, caring and professional manner during my initial consultation was reassuring  and he answered all of my queries. The surgery was very straight forward and 1 year on I have a lost a significant amount of weight far surpassing my expectations. The aftercare was superb and Maria  was always helpful as well as the dietician. The care I received from Mr Hamouda, and his team was first class and I would highly recommend them and cannot thank them enough for this life changing experience

It’s been a year since my Gastric Sleeve and the results are amazing. I’ve lost 29kg and feel so much better for it. So much more energy and confidence. I can now go out and buy clothes I want not clothes that I can fit into. I can also walk past a mirror and actually look at myself without being ashamed of how I look .   I have plateaued a bit now but I am aiming to lose another 8lbs and then I’ll be where I want to be.
It certainly has been life changing for me both mentally and physically and I cannot thank Mr Hamouda and his team at WLSK enough!  Thank you .

Dr Hamouda and his team have changed my life. After having my children, I completely lost my way with food and drink and just developed extremely unhealthy habits. I went from being a confident, sporty and healthy person to being anxious, sedentary and extremely unhealthy. After trying every diet, every exercise plan, every fad diet pill- I finally plucked up the courage to make an appointment and just ask for help. I didn’t know what options would be available to me, if any, and I was extremely nervous, but I was desperate. I need not have worried, Mr Hamouda calmly talked me through a choice of procedures and everything was very clearly explained to me. I never felt there was any expectation or judgement from him or anyone at Benenden.

The decision was made to go for a gastric sleeve, and now one year after my surgery, it’s completely changed my life. I’ve lost 40% of my total body weight and all of my excess weight. Now in the healthy weight range for the first time in years, I can finally feel liberated around food. It doesn’t control me anymore, doesn’t control my every thought. No more self-loathing, making and breaking promises to myself of a better day tomorrow. No more deprivation, no more bingeing. Only those stuck in that toxic cycle will understand the mental and physical toll it takes.

My children now have a mum who can run about with them, who actually appears in photos with them! All of those moments I truly missed out on because I let my weight and how I felt hold me back so much. I’m a better person for it and I’m definitely a better mother.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Hamouda to anyone in a similar position. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done for myself, and I’m sure you won’t regret it.

I am so very grateful plucked up the courage to pick up the phone that day and enquire. Huge thank you to Mr Hamouda & all members of the Benenden Team.

I have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember and have always been classed as having a morbidly obese BMI my whole adult life. After having my daughter in 2020, I gained a lot of baby weight and my situation got even worse. I did all of my research into weight loss surgery before making this decision and I can confirm this was the best thing I’ve ever done.
I started my weight loss journey size 28 UK women’s clothing weighing 21.8stone. 1 year exactly later, I have lost 100% of my excess weight! A total loss of 10stone, I now fit into size 10 jeans and have a normal BMI for the first time in my whole life! I cannot express how happy I am and grateful to have my life back and enjoy it with my daughter. It may seem like small things to some people but when she asks me to come on the rides at the amusement park with her… I can finally do that. I can run along the beach and not get out of breath, take her swimming and not be ashamed of my body. Next year I am ticking a helicopter flight off my bucket list, something I couldn’t do because I was over the weight restriction.
Mr Hamouda is without a doubt a first class surgeon, he was kind and considerate from the day I met him. I was ashamed to walk through the door at our first meeting because we are made to believe that WLS is the easy way out, it certainly isn’t. You have to work hard to achieve your goals but with the help and support or the WLS team it can be done. I never felt pressured into the surgery, it was my choice completely and was given all guidance, knowledge and advice at the start and throughout the entire process. In the hospital the whole team were absolutely amazing and their care was second to none. I have recommended Benenden Hospital and Mr Hamouda to one of my friends who was also struggling with her weight and she started her WLS journey last month. Thank you to the whole team for everything you have done for me over the last year. This experience has been life changing and there is not one thing I would change.

I had surgery with Mr Hamouda in May. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made, from the very beginning I was made to feel at ease and not for one minute judged, which when you feel uncomfortable in your body is so important! The first meeting I had with Mr Hamouda I had done plenty of research into the different types of biatric surgery also joined in on one of his weight loss seminars so I knew what I was letting my self if for. The only thing for me was how I felt in the first face to face and if I felt comfortable leaving my life in this persons hands. Well it went better than expected he was so calm and  informative and I found my self so relaxed and excited about my decision. Following this, every appointment, meeting, phone call has been brilliant. In the hospital from the nurses that looked after me to the anaesthetist, the theatre nurses  just the whole team did an amazing job at keeping me feeling calm and nothing was to much trouble for them! Surgery went great and I had a brilliant recovery! But never have I felt that I was alone at any point the after care has been consistent Abirs advice and support has been so comforting and needed! Now today was my final meeting with Mr Hamouda! I can never thank him enough for making this experience so positive! It’s been life changing and today leaving the hospital I found it very emotional knowing how far I have come and that I am a different person walking out from what I was walking in 9 months ago! I couldn’t recommend the team and process enough if your sitting on the fence and have come this far to research go visit the team! You will not be disappointed!

Mr Hamouda is world class surgeon and an amazing person. The whole team of WLS and Nuffield Health have been brilliant. From the initial chat to making decision, sound advice and care throughout the process. Even on the day of surgery he comes to talk to you first thing in the morning, after surgery to check how you are recovering. Then 6 months and 12 months follow up. At any stage during the year you feel like directly talking to him, it is so easy to book an appointment and he personally calls you.He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, approachable it is unbelievable. One of the best decisions of my life was to decide to get help and choosing Mr Hamouda as my surgeon. Thank you very much :-)
  
 
  
 
 
 
  
 
 
 

FIVE STAR RATED ON:

The whole process from my initial consultation to my surgery and aftercare have been fantastic…

Always felt in safe hands and pleased to say I am making a great recovery and am back training again. Mr Hamouda was very clear about the process, incredibly reassuring and always happy to answer my questions and address any concerns.
