Laparoscopic Bariatric Specialists International at Piyavate Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand Successful patients of LBS


"I'm feeling great. Weight down to 270 -
notice how my wrist watch is hanging!"

Dale McClure left the hospital with no pain, 48 hours after surgery. One week post-op he weighed 136.6 kilos, down from 146.6 on admission - 22 lbs in one week...

"Ready to  go back to work and not even hungry", he said.

On April 3rd, 2004, two weeks after his surgery, Dale wrote to us:
"Dear Dr. Clark, I had the surgery in Bangkok March 22. It went very well and I am home and some 28 lbs lighter already. I wanted to thank you for telling me about Thailand, it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you so much for your help."

On April 18th, 2004, four weeks after his surgery, Dale wrote to us:

"Just an update on my weight/condition. I took a DOT (Dept. of Transportation) physical with my family physician on April 13th and passed it. Weight down to 290 lbs. I am able to eat most meats at this point. I had a small piece (3 oz) of a filet mignon yesterday - lots of chewing but no problems. Hunger still not an issue. I have been mowing grass and walking a good deal and drinking lots of water. Feeling stronger and more energetic every day. Hope all is well with you. Say hello to everyone. I'll get a picture out to you soon..."

December 2004: Dale McClure now weighs 209 lbs. Congratulations, Dale!

He is the first LBS Thailand patient to lose over 100 lbs and that IN ONLY 9 MONTHS.

He is currently wearing size large shirts (he was a 3 or 4x) and size 38 jeans (and these are getting to be a little big for him).

"Again, we really enjoyed our stay in Thailand and have given at least 3 other people the website address and highly recommended the surgery there. As with us in the beginning, people are concerned about leaving the country for something like this. When speaking to people who are thinking about the surgery I try to assure them that I would not hesitate to do this all over again in Thailand."
