I didn't have CVTS but had to wear compression socks and give myself injections for first 5 days...thought it would be bad but didn't hurt as was just fat. I think mine cost around £4800 in total...but took my mum over with me and paid her flight as well.

I went to the Czech Republic with New Leaf and was really happy with them! The nurses did the injections (it was all part of the price), had it done Feb 2nd.

Not the same doctor...I didn't research mine at all other than Belgium Surgery Services (check there) but I was very impressed with my care...better than NHS...it is a competitive market so they need to do a good job. It will be fine. Gears and doubts creep in. Just believe this is the right thing for you and ask questions....mine was all done through email...didn't even meet surgeon until day of surgery.

Hi sam!

Can I ask you how much did you pay for the surgery?

I am considering having a sleeve done.As I live in Brussels, I went for consultation at one of the hospitals here and doctor said it would cost 12.000 eur Little too rich for my blood. I am reeding here people having it done at allmost half a price...

I'm going with Beautiful Beings, I fly to Prague but it's about a two hour journey from there but they collect you an take you back to the airport. It cost me around £4200 plus £120 in flights from M/cr. I didn't have to ay £70 for my CVT injections as my GP is going to do them for me.

Hi RosieCheeks!

Can I ask you how much time did it take from the time you cintacted them till you got your operation date?

If you're willing to go a little further out I paid 4510 euros with New Leaf if money is an issue.

As I live in Brussels,I am thinking it would be good to have it here.But at the same time Prague is more than 1.000 eur cheaper.I really don't know with wich option to go????

Overall I was very happy with my treatment, I really couldn't fault it. The nurses were lovely and couldn't do enough for you. However, I wouldn't go back to that particular clinic simply because I found the journey home gruelling. The clinic is in Brno, a two-hour drive from Prague airport so I was up at 5am and didn't reach my home, which is ten minutes from Manchester Airport, until 1.30pm, I was completely exhausted and thought it was maybe just a tad too much after a major op. If you think that isn't a problem for you then I have no hesitation in recommending.
