Weight Loss Latvia Patient Journey

Astra (Guernsey)

Two years after my gastric bypass, I feel absolutely wonderful! My energy has doubled, my health has improved, and I’m so thankful to Ilva, Dr. Olegs, and the entire Sigulda Hospital team.

26.11.2023 — today marks two years since my gastric bypass surgery (in 2021)! 🤗
My sincerest thanks go to Ilva Urbanoviča, Dr. Olegs Kozlovskis, and the entire Sigulda Hospital surgery department for their amazing care and professionalism.

I want to encourage anyone who is still thinking about weight loss surgery — after the operation, life truly starts again.
If you want to improve your quality of life, don’t wait — just do it! I feel wonderful, all my previous health problems have disappeared, and most importantly, my energy has doubled.

My weight before surgery was 88.7 kg, now it’s 60 kg — I’ve gone from size 22 down to size 10. 🙏
My weight has remained stable, nothing changes, and I feel full of life.
The only advice I would give to everyone is to stay active — move, exercise, and don’t slip back into old habits. Physical activity keeps both body and mind strong. ☃️❄

And today, Sigulda is just as white and snowy as it was two years ago — a perfect reminder of how far I’ve come. 🥰
Thank you, Weight Loss Latvia! 💚
