Hi, hope you are well!?

The most rewarding part of my work is reading our bariatric patients’ reviews and seeing their before-and-after photos 🧡

Here is Barb's from Ireland review:

"I would like to share my heartfelt and truly life-changing experience with Ilva and the entire Weight Loss Latvia team.

After coming out of a very difficult relationship, I turned to food for comfort, and my weight increased from my usual 80 kg to 145 kg. With a prosthetic hip and worsening mobility, I knew I needed help — and that I could not continue living that way.

From our very first contact in early 2024, Ilva was exceptional. She introduced me to the HSE Cross-Border Healthcare Scheme, explained everything clearly, and guided me step by step through all the paperwork. The price remained exactly the same from 2024 to 2025 — there were no hidden costs or surprises. Ilva was always available to answer my questions and reassure me. She wasn’t just coordinating logistics; she was a calm, steady, and supportive presence throughout the entire journey.

Everything was organised seamlessly — airport transfers, hotel, taxis, and even ensuring that the friends travelling with me were comfortable. I travelled on 5 May 2025, which is a public holiday in Latvia (Restoration of Independence Day), yet everything ran perfectly and I felt completely supported.

The following morning, I completed my pre-operative tests, and by the afternoon I was in surgery. After the operation, I was carefully monitored in the ICU before being transferred back to my ward once stable.

My hospital experience was excellent. The doctors and nurses were incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. Even when English wasn’t perfect, they made sure I fully understood everything. I never once felt unsafe or neglected.

Before discharge, the medical team helped with prescriptions and aftercare instructions. Ilva visited me daily in hospital and continued to check in regularly even after I returned home.

The results have been truly life-changing. In just six months, I have gone from 145 kg to 101 kg (yes — that includes the weight of my braids!). I have moved from wearing size 22 / XXL to size 18 / L, and I now comfortably fit into some size 16 clothes. The pain I once lived with has disappeared. My mobility has improved dramatically. I feel lighter, stronger, and far more confident.

Even now, Ilva continues to follow up, offering gym advice and nutritional guidance. That level of ongoing care speaks volumes.

If you are considering bariatric surgery and are looking for a professional, compassionate team that genuinely cares, I cannot recommend Weight Loss Latvia highly enough. This experience has truly changed my life, and I am deeply grateful to Ilva and the entire medical team."
