Dear Dr.SAEED HASSAN I wanted to share my thoughts and feedback regarding the gastric balloon procedure I recently underwent. The information provided during the consultation was clear and thorough. I appreciated the time you took to explain the procedure, potential risks, benefits, and what I could expect in the days and weeks following the procedure. It helped me feel well-informed and confident in my decision. The procedure itself was smooth, and I felt well cared for during the process. The team was professional and ensured I was comfortable at all times. I did experience some discomfort initially after the procedure, but it was manageable, and I was given the appropriate guidance to manage these symptoms. While I am still in the early stages, I’ve noticed some positive changes in my eating habits and overall appetite. I understand that results may vary, but I am optimistic about the long-term benefits of the procedure. Overall, I am grateful for the care and support you have provided, and I look forward to seeing how my progress continues.
