Weight Loss Latvia Patient Journey
Sharon (Ireland)
I had my gastric sleeve surgery at Sigulda Hospital in 2017, and it has completely changed how I see myself — both physically and emotionally.
If you’re reading this, you probably know what it’s like to fight a war with yourself every day — that constant inner struggle with food, guilt, and exhaustion. For years, I tried everything: diets, exercise, even marathons. I became “fit” and “healthy,” but food was still my enemy, and the emotional battle never stopped.
Eventually, I burned out. I stopped exercising, stopped dieting, and watched my weight increase again. Admitting that I needed help was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done — but also the best.
When I contacted Ilva and the Weight Loss Latvia team, I immediately felt supported and understood. Every question was answered patiently, and every step was handled with care and professionalism. The Sigulda Hospital staff were warm and attentive, making me feel safe and respected throughout the entire process.
Now, three months post-surgery, I’m 15 kg lighter, back in the gym, and finally feel like myself again — but stronger. For the first time in my life, I have the tools to maintain a healthy balance and win this battle for good.
