Hi everyone

Just thought that I should update you Dr Dillemans' main providers have changed their name and web address the new name is International Weight Loss Surgery and their website is International Weight Loss Surgery | Take Charge of Your Weight - Take Charge of Your Future I had my op with them and found them fab They are really quick in replying and very efficient.

Thank you Mags!
I would add to shop around though as the prices are not the package that I had with Dr. Dr. You can get a good deal with travel, taxis and hotel included, for you and your partner still with Dr. D. Worth contacting him directly though.
Cheers!

Post My Advice

Hey hun,

Thanks for the reply. I know that there are lots of others offering a package, but, after extensive research I found that with two particular UK companies DHI and EOC they were going to stick me on a ryanair flight which only cost about €100 return, yet they were charging me nearly an extra €700 for flights!!!

My advice is that the more convienient option may look nice but its more like a rip off! Like I said, the company I went with were the only company that offered to point me in the direction of excellent accommodation for no extra cost, in fact I had a full two bedroomed appartment for myself and my sister for the duration of my stay which was better than the 3star hotels offered by DHI & EOC all for only €421 for 7 nights. The flights and transfers cost me roughly €250 so my flights, appartment and transfers cost me approx €670. The cheapest fully inclusive being offered by the other companies was over €1000 more expensive than what I paid. NO CONTEST in my opinion!

Anyway, I would contact International Weight Loss Surgery | Take Charge of Your Weight - Take Charge of Your Future thats my experience for what its worth.
