Cosmetic Bliss Reduce Prices for Sleeve Gastrectomy Operations
Cosmetic Bliss - specialist Weight Loss Surgery providers and leaders in the field of Sleeve
Gastrectomy procedures announce today that fully inclusive package prices for the "Gastric Sleeve"
procedure will be reduced to 6,490 pounds Sterling (7,550 euro from 23 May 2010.
Launceston, United Kingdom, May 01, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Cosmetic Bliss have announced today that
they have been able to negotiate a reduction in the package price for Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy
procedures carried out by their partner surgeon Dr. Michal Cierny Ph.D. from 23 May 2010.
This reduction, which brings the price of a Sleeve operation down to 6,490 pounds Sterling (or 7,550

suppliers.
Michael Dermody, Cosmetic Bliss partner and a successful Sleeve patient himself said

patients to eat small portions without hunger. It's less invasive than a Bypass, and doesn't have the
on-going difficulties with dumping and mineral deficiencies that a bypass creates.
"The weight loss after the sleeve is rapid and statistics show it is comparable with bypass in the first 12

in the last 3 years, and this price reduction means that patients who could in the past only afford Gastric
Banding may be able to look seriously at the Sleeve as an option.
"I am convinced that in a few years the Sleeve Gastrectomy will be the most sought after Weight Loss
Surgery as it's benefits become mo
