How do you research private clinics?

[Omega]

I have lost a lot of weight through healthy nutrition and exercise - but am left with quite a substantial loose skin problem.

I am seriously considering surgery to help this - but I do not know which clinics are reputable and which are not.

Are there any threads that you could suggest that I read, organisations that I should contact, or other avenues of research that I should follow?

Has anyone done an analysis on the clinic options that are available?

Any clinics that people would strongly recommend for or against using...?

I am in the UK if that makes a difference - so if it means going abroad I would need to be confident that they spoke English well and were able to give an acceptable level of service to someone who lives in England.

I am pretty experienced regarding weight loss these days but a total beginner in this whole area.

Repubable Obesity Clinics Abroad

Hi.

I've been looking into having some obesity surgery and until recently I was set on staying in the UK and was a bit cautious about having treatment abroad. However, upon viewing the following site which contains a list of private clinics abroad and a number of testimonials by previous patients, I am starting to change my mind. I thought I'd share it with you:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for letting me know about that Heather.

At the minute I am hoping that the NHS is going to come to my rescue - at least for my boobs - but it is all down to the PCT giving the funding. I know that I need the surgery - so it makes sense to try to do some research so that I have other avenues to pursue.
