I have a place provisionally booked for 5th December. Look around this website http://www.direct-healthcare.com/st-jans.htm. Hope to see you there then!
Keep me informed about the path you are taking. I prefer direct healthcare to european obesity. All the best!

Hi there
Just let you know, I also booked through direct-healthcare and Amanda Perino was my contact. She was great and everything went through really smoothly. When I did all the sums, it looked a bit more expensive than the bare minimum price but because of being very busy at work etc, I really wanted someone else to organise the whole package for me i.e. flights from Stansted, taxi's from airport to hotel and then to and from the hospital etc. They even threw in taxi's for my husband every day to and from the hospital (so might be worth asking about this too!). I wanted a really stress-free trip and got one.
Overall, if I had paid for the separate bits myself, it would not have been that much cheaper and I didn't have the hassle of organising it all. I also had the peace of mind of added health insurance.
p.s the hotel was exceptionally good - really luxurious and also offered free bariatirc meals (for the patient) after the op.
Good luck with all.
Cheers!
