Hi, hope you are well,

One of the most common questions I hear is:

“Is it safe to have weight loss surgery abroad / or in Latvia?”

It’s an important question, and one you absolutely should ask. With increasing reports and discussions online about complications following surgery abroad - including bleeding, infections, and other surgical risks, it is completely understandable that questions about safety are more important than ever.

The answer from us is yes - bariatric surgery is safe, when done right, with the right team and standards.

At Weight Loss Latvia, patient safety is our highest priority.

✅ Latvia follows strict European Union and WHO medical standards, ensuring a high level of safety and quality of care. All procedures are performed in a certified general hospital - Sigulda Hospital - by experienced, certified bariatric surgeons.

✅ We follow internationally recognised protocols at every step of your journey:

✔ Thorough pre-operative health assessment

✔ Safe, minimally invasive surgical techniques

✔ Careful post-operative monitoring and recovery (3-4 days in-patient recovery)

✅ Our surgical team works exclusively with internationally recognised and certified equipment, including premium bariatric stapling systems such as Johnson & Johnson and Medtronic. We never compromise when it comes to safety, precision, or outcomes.

✅ Our surgeons are continuously improving their expertise by attending international conferences, workshops, and training programs, ensuring that patients benefit from the latest and safest advancements in bariatric surgery.

✅ Most importantly, we take a holistic and individual approach. Every patient is carefully evaluated to ensure that surgery is the right and safe option for them.

For us, it’s not just about the procedure -

it’s about helping you achieve a healthier, more confident, and fulfilling life.
