People have started to comment on my weight loss which is great and I feel better for being less heavy.
I can't begin to thank you both for all your kindness to me when I was in the clinic.
Ms J.T, 2 months after weight loss surgery
After spending many a year as morbidly obese man I came across Cosmetic Bliss on the internet. After careful consideration and reviewing other websites and lengthy phone calls with questions and answers to Deborah and Michael, I decided to take the plunge and change my life forever and opted for the Sleeve operation.
The build up to the operation was good Deborah and Michael kept a clear line of communication open with me asking if I had any final questions before I went and so on.
The service that Cosmetic Bliss offer sounds good - but to put it in a nutshell its way beyond what you will expect!
The Owners of the company meet you at the airport and take more time out to know you and understand you and why it is that you are doing this. After arriving at the airport you are picked up and taken to the hotel where you can enjoy your last meal before your life will change for the better. Once at the clinic you are introduced to several consultants who will look after you and a team of highly caring professional nurses.
After the operation I cannot stress how high class the treatment was. It can only be described as PERFECT. You are more or less assigned a nurse to look after you per day. The consultants come and visit you twice a day. Deborah comes and visits you every day.
The after care that Cosmetic Bliss give is second to none! They not only say they care but they go out of their way to prove they care.
As for Dr Cierny and his team of staff words cannot describe how he and his staff have changed my life. I have nothing but praise for him and everyone connected with Cosmetic Bliss. In my opinion they cannot be beaten on Quality of Service or on price.
Mr R.B, 09/02/08
I have to say that my experience with Cosmetic Bliss and Dr Cierny's clinic was excellent. I would have no reservations recommending all you guys to anyone and everyone. You and Michael in particular are fantastic ambassadors and really look after your clients. But more than that, your genuine empathy, compassion and desire for the best for people is refreshing, heart warming and really appreciated, thanks again to you, Michael, Dr Cierny and everyone else for making my experience a very positive one.
Ms J.G, Sleeve Gastrectomy
I'd like to say thank you again for making this all possible for me. I'm really overwhelmed at how friendly, caring, kind and helpful you and Michael, the nurses and all the doctors were, thank you all so very much.
Ms M.D, Sleeve Gastrectomy
I have no regrets at all about having the procedure - except maybe that I didn't do it years ago!!
Y.M, 2 months after weight loss surgery
Since the procedure, I have actually felt very well - better than I have done for a long time. The only problem I have found is that as I'm becoming smaller and smaller, my husband and the dog are becoming bigger and bigger, picking at my leftovers - I've never had leftovers before! I'll be booking the dog in with Dr Cierny shortly!!!
Ms G.R, 3 months after surgery
I feel so much better, so full of energy, It's the best thing that I have done and I wish I had done this years ago!!!! It’s not only the weight loss that you feel a difference, it’s you as a person. We went to a concert the other night and during it I wanted a cuppa. I was able to run up the stairs and once I got to the top I thought to myself "I wouldn't have been able to do that before".
Mrs C.S.
This is just a quick e-mail to say thank you yet again, I am so grateful for your support and help and most of all your kindness towards me before, during and after my stay in Bruno.
Also I would like to say again how wonderful Dr Cierny and the nurses are in the BMI clinic, I was overwhelmed by their kindness towards us.
They truly are Amazing people who could do enough for us.
And if I remember correctly I weighed 142kilos the day I arrived at the clinic and exactly a week on I'm weighing 135 kilos which is a brilliant start towards my new healthy life.
I cannot say thank you enough to you all.
Ms N.W.
It is not just my physical health that has improved also my mental wellbeing has taken a boost most of the negative feelings have been replaced with hope, no longer do I feel like I “blow it” and can not go on. The self-defeating cycle has been broken and that leaves me free to get on with other things. Work has never been busier, but I now have the energy to cope with this. The gym helps with the toning up but will not be enough I’m afraid, my flabby bits are becoming saggy bits. Never mind, what I save on the food bill is being redirected to my tummy tuck fund.
Mrs E.R
I feel 'normal' for the first time ever. My obsession with food is over. I can go out without taking a picnic along! The op was the best thing that I have ever done. Lots of people are now commenting on my weight. I intend to lose another 3 stone (gradually). I also do exercises at home, plus the odd bit of cycling, skipping and running. Most of the time I can wear a size 14 now. When I had the op I was a size 18. I really cannot thank you enough, for making this possible. Keep up the good work.
S.W.
Everything has been fantastic since My return home - I can't believe the difference already, in fact on my way home from the airport I couldn't stop smiling! I feel so different in myself, not just my body but in my mind. I feel so much more in control of everything, even my house has been sorted and cleaned from top to bottom and I'm finding that I am staying on top of everything. I just can't believe I'm eating the little amount I am managing and I never feel hungry!! I just want to say a really big Thank You for your help and support during my stay in Brno. Deborah, you really put me at ease and made the whole experience more relaxing. I've recommended you both to several people and wouldn't hesitate to advise anyone to book with you in the future. The staff at the hospital were so lovely, helpful and very caring, they all spoke such good English and really did help put our minds at ease. Say 'Hi' to everyone for me!!
Ms M.L.
I think the last e-mail I had sent you I said I had lost 6 stone, well now I am 6 and half stone lighter!!! I'm at 15st at the moment and I am working to get to 12st by the end of Jan. I have been setting myself small realistic goals. My last goal was to loose a stone in 7 weeks, I managed 17lbs in 6 weeks :)
I shall keep you both updated!!
D.G.
I can't believe it's only been a month since the op, time has flown by. I returned with a really positive attitude that I have found it hard to explain; probably something to do with taking action over something that I really didn't like about myself. Clothes are starting to be a problem; as I don't want to buy any just yet; as I don't plan on them fitting for long! I've lost just under 2st as of this morning which is hard for me to believe; I know it won't carry on like this but it is fantastic! I didn't realise I had lost so many inches; I had to check my waist measurement 2-3 times before it sank in.
J.C.
I have lost nearly 10 stone now...I weight 14 stone 5, and I look great if I say so myself. I feel so much better, my energy levels are sky high and my confidence is next to none. I feel such a better person, and I love it, I really really do.
It’s strange how much of a difference losing weight has made to my life. I feel like a different person, and, strangely, I get treated differently too. When I was big, people assumed Iwas dumb and thick, I guess...very narrow minded, but true. I would truly love to work with people with weight problems, as I remember being big and having a size 8 nutritionist telling me to eat carrots every day until I looked 'normal'...such a improbable word.
Thanks for keeping in contact...this surgery has truly changed my life, and I can’t express how much gratitude i have to you and my surgeon.
M.P.
I just wanted to email you and thank you both. I am now at 10stone 7lbs with a new lease of life, imagine I've even been dancing. Your wealth of knowledge and the service you both provide is invaluable. Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to be happy with myself.
Ms J.D. (8 months post surgery)
Once again thanks to you and Michael for giving me my life back, it was slipping away and I really did feel that someone had switched the light off at the end of the tunnel, you have turned it back on in full for me and I shall be eternally grateful

Hi Debs, just wanted to let you know that Iam doing really well -have lost 20kgs. I started Uni on Monday. Thank you once again for all the support you gave me during and before the surgery.
Sara 07/10/09
I don't think I would be where I am today without the extra confidence and self-belief taking the decision to have the operation, and losing my reliance on food to make me 'feel good'. (it may however have turned me into a workaholic?!)
J. C. 24/02/09
I am doing well with my new diet. I now know what I can tolerate and what not - just took a few mishaps on the way!!!
Feeling fantastic inside. I have started swimming and walk daily. I have so much more energy and now the weather is brighter life feels very good. Thank you for your help in starting me on a new road to a healthier life.
I hope all the wonderful staff at the clinic are well, they were such kind souls.

Hi Michael and Deborah,
Just thought I'd say hello as I have celebrated my first anniversary of the new me!! My banding was on September 16th 2008. I had my surgery the day after Michael. I have lost a total 4 stone 4 lbs and now into a size 12. Not bad considering I was wearing size 20 on the day I arrived at the clinic. Hence I'm constantly changing my wardrobe, it's a fantastic feeling getting into a size12. Sometimes I pass a window/mirror and have to take a second look because I don't recognise myself! My life has changed for the better. I'm so outgoing and never refuse an invitation for an outing. Recently I attended a wedding where everyone was commenting on my weight loss and how much younger I looked.
I decided on Cosmetic Bliss for my surgery as you were the only one who went into depth about the procedure and after care, plus the pre-operative ''work up'' at the clinic and the post operative care far exceeds any you would get here in the NHS or the private sector.

Hi Deb and Michael
Firstly, I want to thank you for such a positive and life-affirming experience, which you shared in creating. From what I read on your website I was prepared for a reasonably good experience but in no way was I prepared for the excellent way in which everything was handled.
I especially want to take my hat off to you, Deb. With my hand on my heart I can say that you are one of the most caring, warm, loving and affectionate people I have ever encountered. Along with that you are professional and efficient. My journey would not have been the same without you and I sincerely hope we can stay in touch on a personal level.
My experience of the clinic, Dr Cierny, Zuzana and the rest of the team was a real eye-opener. I did not feel like a piece of meat but felt that a real personal interest was taken in my case. The nursing care was flawless and caring. I never once felt judged for being overweight.
