European surgeons

[Filosophia Scandinavia 1]

I am new to this site - but one of the other users asked me to write some info on European batriatic centers - that I knew of.

About me - I am from Denmark, and in Denmark, the Slevee is not performed very often. Almost never...

Gastric Bypasss is the main operation. I want a sleeve, havent had one yet - but is almost certain wich doctor, I will choose. I will tell you another time :-)

A lot of danes had an operation in Germany, Belgium, Sweden and Greece. I will give you the info, websites and prices I can find. I do not have any relations with any of the clinics - but I have been in contact with all of them! (Not the german yet)
