Telford Princess Royal - anyone been here?



Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about getting the sleeve done at Princess Royal with Dr Sigurdsson. Has anyone had their surgery here?

Whilst I was in the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital for the Gastric Sleeve procedure; the lady in the next bed to me had the same surgery and her consultant was Mr Sigurdsson. He was very professional and attentive . My surgeon was Mr Rink . If you,ve been offered surgery at Telford, take it hon! One things for sure.. no two surgery experiences are the same. Ive stayed in touch with the lady I met in the hospital and we share and exchange our experiences so far. I had a really rough time right after surgery , but she was sipping hot chocolate drink on the evening of her surgery!!! I couldnt even keep a sip of Water down for two days and had terrible retching. Since the initial few days ive been fine, but my friend has had a few problems ( fairly common ones associated with the surgery ) . What I would say to you is this.. if you are offered the procedure go for it! It,s not without its negatives but the positives FAR out-weigh those. Good luck. x :-)

Hi, I am 5 days post op. Had my surgery in Telford with Mr Sigurdsson. He is very proffessional! He explains everything in detail and always welcomes questions. He is a great choice! When are you thinking of having it?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
