Nords - Gastric Bypass

Going abroad for surgery is daunting but with Nords i felt confident as they were professional helpful and knowledgeable from the very first communication I joined the Facebook group and spoke to other people who were having or had surgery and everyone said the same No regrets I m just over 2 weeks post op my stitches have healed I feel amazing and my recovery has been smooth Not once have I had a negative thought and still can t quite believe how smooth the whole process was from my collection from the airport to my flight back and beyond Thank you Nords and in particular the wonderful surgeon Professor Maleckas your expertise temperament and skill have given so many people a new lease of life Many thanks also to R ta for the excellent communication throughout and the staff in the clinic who were amazing and nothing was too much trouble Overall the whole experience was more than I could have expected

Gastric sleeve - January 2024

From my initial enquiries with my amazing and super efficient rep Julija to having my gastric sleeve operation and being taken to the airport 5 days later the whole experience has been super efficient friendly caring and straightforward to navigate I was collected at the Kaunas airport Monday afternoon and taken to the apartment I had booked with a friend Tuesday morning I was collected again for my pre-op appointment and taken back to apartment again In the evening the wonderful Professor Maleckas himself contacted me in the evening to discuss results and any final questions Wednesday afternoon I was collected for my surgery and shown to my immaculately clean room which I shared with a lovely lady I appreciated the ensuite and our own tv at the end of our bed From the very informed and friendly receptionists to the caring friendly nurses my experience in the clinic was very positive and relaxed My operation went well and I stayed in for two nights as I had an evenin time slot for my op Once I d been able to drink and eat the required amount I was discharged I rested and walked around my apartment for a couple of days even managing a nice evening walk Sunday night around Kaunas old town to see all the pretty lights that were still up from Christmas which was lovely My friend and I were collected Monday morning and taken to the airport by one of the many friendly English speaking drivers I simply can t fault my any part of my experience with Nords Even now that I m home and 16 days post operation they are happy to answer any question I have I definitely made the right decision choosing to have my gastric sleeve with them I will be forever grateful - thank you Here s to the new me

Excellent experience

Excellent experienceThe whole team at Nordclinics are excellent from the pre-travel communications through to the surgery itself I can t thank them enough for making what could have been a traumatic experience into something almost pleasurable I will be returning to the clinic in the future perhaps for shoulder surgery and maybe even a facelift

Medically safe stress-free seamless experience

Choosing to put yourself through surgery is scary choosing to do it in another country can bring on even more apprehension but hand on heart this has been the best experience and I wouldn t hesitate in encouraging others to choose Nords if they are considering bariatric surgery The Customer Representatives from initial enquiry to the end of my journey have been so helpful informative courteous and very prompt in responding Special shout-out to R ta Julija and Emilija I was offered plenty of surgery date options for when I wanted to book I booked in November for February surgery but they were able to offer me dates as early as December if I wanted On arrival in Kaunas Lithuania I was greeted by a lady driver with a few other patients and transported safely in one of their logo d 8-seater people carriers to my apartment I stayed at one of their own apartments attached to their Aesthetics Clinic and it was modern spacious and spotlessly clean Some patients chose to stay at local hotels such as the Radisson and the Moxy and all reported lovely comfortable accommodation and very reasonably priced too 35 - 65 per night depending on where you stay The logistic side of the company is so slick and 100 reliable They text you the day before any pick-ups to clinic whether it s pre-op procedure or post-op checks telling you what time they are collecting you and ask you to confirm receipt of the message The drivers are all lovely professional drive safely and speak English well When you are ready to return to your apartment you don t need to ask any of the Nurses or Receptionists to organise your ride they ve already sorted it The clinics are very modern immaculately clean and state of the art They offer single or double rooms on the ward which are very well equipped comfortable and if sharing a room you each have your own TV with Netflix Each room has an en-suite toilet and wash basin oh and wifi The Nurses are all wonderful skilled and attentive They all speak English very well and if you ring your buzzer for any reason they are in your room in less than 30 seconds no exaggeration Post-operatively I was seen by a Dietician and Physiotherapist Again very informative helpful and professional In terms of the surgery I had a gastric band to gastric bypass conversion surgery The day before my surgery I needed to have a gastroscopy camera down your throat and into your stomach as the surgeon wanted to ensure that there was no band migration or damage to my stomach prior to surgery I was absolutely dreading this procedure but no need at all I was given a sedative through an IV and was out like a light I have no recollection of any of it I was due to have a WhatsApp call with the surgeon Professor Maleckas the evening before my surgery but he was delayed at a conference On the day of my surgery I had a face to face consultation instead where he was most apologetic about not being able to call the night before explained the procedure what to expect potential risks complications and likelihoods and gave me the opportunity to ask questions This conversation was not at all rushed his English is perfect so no language-barrier issues and he s very approachable I was also seen by the Anaesthetist and assistant prior to the procedure Again very professional reassuring and informative Post-surgery I was very well looked after and given medications to make me feel as comfortable as possible as soon as I asked To be honest I rarely had to ask they kept on top of my pain meds for me The day after my surgery Prof Maleckas came to see me to let me know how the surgery went in more detail to check how I was and to allow for any questions We are all given an emergency number to ring once we have left the clinic post-operatively should we need it but the wonderful Professor gives you his number too and encourages you to WhatsApp him if you need him This man is incredible So skilled and experienced at what he does finds time to teach others in this field and goes for 6km runs in his short but quality time away from his profession You can just tell he is dedicated to and enjoys his role My surgery was late morning and I was discharged by teatime the next day but a one - two night stay is expected They don t rush you out if you need more time It is advised that you stay in Kaunas for a minimum of 5 days post-op and as I stayed in one of their apartments I had a nurse visit me daily to check my observations and wellbeing between 12pm and 3pm My bloods were also checked for infection markers or any other anomalies twice before I left Kaunas so I felt well looked after medically and emotionally I genuinely cannot fault the service I have received from start to finish Better than U K and I m a Nurse myself
