Mr Sherif Awad

Written by a private patient at Tonic Weight Loss Surgery

I cannot recommend Mr Awad enough. From our first conversation I felt that he understood my worries and concerns and my ultimate weight loss goal. He explained everything really well and I had no reservations with having a gastric sleeve which he explained was the best option for me. A date was set and I didn’t have to wait long to have the surgery. Everything was explained and my questions were answered. The procedure was carried out and I was on my way. I am three months down the line and lost 3 and a half stones. The staff at Tonic rang everyday to see how I was doing, they were very knowledgeable and helped me with questions I had about food and drink and were very genuine and positive throughout. People are noticing my weight loss now and compliments are a plenty. I can run (yes run) walk fast and keep up with friends and family where I couldn’t before. I am buying clothes, wearing nice things not baggy things. This whole procedure has transformed my life. I go out now, feel more confident and have no problem recommending Mr Awad and his team

I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon. He explained everything to me, all the risks and possible complications. I had the most amazing care from Mr Awad and his team, I really couldn’t fault them and I highly recommend them for anyone wanting weightloss surgery.

When I first met Mr Awad, I was at the lowest point of my life. Years of yo-yo dieting and obsessing about food, followed by frustration at slow losses and a feeling of being different from "ordinary" people who seemingly ate whatever they wanted and not put on an ounce had left me demotivated, depressed and severely overweight. I literally had reached a dead end and I didn't know what to do anymore. My initial contact was via phone and of course I was so nervous but Mr Awad was so empathic, understanding and kind and talked me through the process very clearly. Once I made the decision to have the surgery, the process was so smooth and communication was superb. The surgery took place at Burcott Hall and it was a very nice venue with compassionate and caring nursing staff. Mr Awad was approachable, kind, extremely professional and gave you a strong sense of being in good hands- to be honest, Id say he was borderline genius! He seems to not really know how brilliant he is because he is a modest person but I can honestly say, this man changed my life that day. Although obviously this is a big undertaking, I have not regretted the decision once, and now 12 weeks later I am 4 stone 10 down and I have gotten my zest for life back again. The aftercare from the tonic team and the communication with Mr Awad and his Personal Assistant, Sarah, post op were great too and he has just been in touch for our 12 week review, where upon he was his usual charismatic and approachable self, plus he was very pleased with the results(as am I!). I should add here, since surgery my diagnosis of being diabetic has changed and I am now in the normal range- no more diabetes here! All I can say is, if you are thinking about surgery with Mr Awad, think no more. He is an expert in this field, has years of experience , has had over 50 publications, including research projects, speaks at medical conventions worldwide and is renowned and respected within the bariatric community. He is also just a really nice bloke, who genuinely feels passionate about his work. My only regret? That I didn't do this years ago. Thank you Mr Awad, and the team at Tonic Weight loss - you have literally changed my life.

I had a gastric sleeve operation with Mr Awad at Burcott Hall through Tonic Weight Loss. Mr Awad gave a thorough knowledgeable initial consultation and I was able to make contact with him again through the clinic to ask questions based on my initial consultation. Mr Awad took my medical history into account prior to making his recommendation for surgery. I was made to feel very comfortable on the day of my surgery and Mr Awad and his team helped me to relax prior to being put under anaesthetic. The morning after surgery, Mr Awad came to see me and explained that surgery had gone well and showed me photos of the surgery. The aftercare that I have received from Tonic has been great, with daily calls for the first week after surgery from a bariatric nurse and then weekly phone calls. I have regular check ins now with the Tonic team and they are available to me should I need any further information or advice. I have had a follow up post surgery telephone consultation with Mr Awad who has confirmed that all is going well and to plan. I would have no hesitation in recommending Mr Awad, a fantastic surgeon and a lovely man. Thank you.
