Ask us →Bariatric surgery is medicine, not a shortcut, and eligibility is medical: body mass index, health conditions (diabetes, sleep apnea, joint disease), and your history with supervised weight loss all count. Some patients we advise toward surgery, some toward the balloon, and some away from all of it, the assessment is free, private and judgment-free, and it starts with a WhatsApp conversation, not a lecture.
Most gastric sleeve and bypass patients lose the majority of their excess weight over 12–18 months, with improvements in diabetes, blood pressure, sleep and joints that often matter more than the mirror. Results depend on the procedure, your starting point, and the habits the surgery makes easier but doesn't replace. Every plan we arrange includes dietitian guidance and long-term follow-up, because the operation is the beginning of the work, not the end.
Weight loss patients tell us the thing they feared most wasn't the surgery, it was being judged. Expect the opposite: complete privacy and genuine warmth.

I've lost most of the weight, my diabetes is under control, and for the first time in years I feel like myself.
