Mar 19, 2026 1:29 pm

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.
