Weight Loss Latvia Patient Journey

Joan (N-Ireland)

My journey with Weight Loss Latvia began four years ago, and it has completely changed my life. From 23 stone to a new, healthy, confident me — I hope my story inspires others too.

Now and again I like to post to hopefully encourage others on their weight loss journey.
My story began about four years ago when I researched and decided to have my gastric bypass with Weight Loss Latvia.

Tipping the scales at around 23 stone, I lost a little weight before surgery, then went to Dr. Olegs, who performed my gastric bypass. The treatment, recovery, and aftercare were exceptional — with incredible support from Ilva Urbanoviča, Roisín McGrath, and the whole team.

I still remember Dr. Olegs saying on the day of my surgery:

“This is only the beginning of your weight loss journey — expect more changes ahead.”

He was right. I have since had several follow-up surgeries to align with my transformed body and lifestyle — and I work hard every day to maintain my results.
Having lost an incredible 15 stone, I feel healthier, happier, and more confident than ever.

If my experience can inspire even one person to take that first step, it’s worth sharing. 💚
