Testimonials
“I just want to say a huge thank you to Mr Markos Daskalakis. I’m now 6 months post op months the difference already is just amazing! My life has already changed massively for the better! I wanted this done for years but wasn’t sure about which surgery was best, hands down would recommend the sleeve 100%. Recovery was quick. I lost 5 stone in 6 months. It’s incredible the difference it makes. Here’s to a longer, healthier future!”
