I was so impressed with Riga weight loss, they were so organised and caring and professional.I had revision therapy which is from a gastric band to Gastric bypass, I did my research being a health professional and I would highly recommend. The support on Facebook and what's app are so supportive and it was a pleasure meeting fellow people that were also lovely. So don't worry if you are going on your own, I'm sure you will be in safe hands.

Amazing care, 100% recommend
Was booked in for my pre ops on the 25th, had my gastric sleeve on the 26th.
The first thing to note is the care the nurses and doctors are very good at no point did I feel like I was not safe.
I was told that my blood pressure was acting strange and I needed to make sure if I went for a toilet or something I had someone with me, it was 2am and I really didn’t want to disturb anyone so I went for a toilet myself and collapsed due to the fluctuation in my blood pressure, I felt terrible about this as it happened from me ignoring there advice but I was never made to feel bad or as if it was my fault once that happened I got a few more tests to make sure everything was as it should be.
I plan to come back in a few years for the removal of loose skin that they do.

Had a fantastic experience with weight loss Riga from start to finish. Felt 100% safe, met some lovely people having the op same date & the day after. All the staff at the hospital were caring and helpful and my surgeon was fantastic. Pre op was very in depth and I recovered well with minimal pain. I still have ongoing support from their nutritionist for 12 months post op which for me is very much needed. Can’t recommend enough

The staff were efficient and did their jobs well. Communication was good, most speak good English , and they kept me informed of what was happening. The clinic was spotless and functional. The staff were a bit “cold” but that’s how Eastern Europeans are naturally. They weren’t offensive or rude.
Communication with co- ordinators before the trip was good and answered my questions.
Taxis were on time to and from airport and from hotel to clinic

Complete Openness, No pressure to decide whether to go ahead. Information & Support All The Way. And once in Riga Everything Ran Like Clockwork, From the airport & clinic transfers, to the pre-op tests. The care provided within the clinic was the best, all staff were kind & helpful. Some didn't have great English, but it was better than my Latvian! and didn't detract from the care. A great experience.

Weight Loss Riga - centre of excellence
I recently had a mini gastric bypass in Riga, the service is second to none and the medical team are truly world class.
I have complex chronic illnesses, so choosing weight loss surgery was more about my health as well as taking control of my weight. I have tried everything and nothing worked for me, so when my GP said that I needed to take even more medication for my high blood pressure and diabetes, I knew I had to do something.
I started researching and being an ex nurse I did a very thorough job. Weight Loss Riga shone through as the best weight loss clinic and I am extremely happy with my decision.
I am only one week post op but my diabetes is already is remission and I feel so much healthier already.

Excellent clinic
The clinic was very clean. Staff friendly and the surgeon excellent. First day was busy with tests all completed in house, had the operation same day. Monitored throughout the stay. Tests on last day were completed early so could be released early afternoon. I had no pain but pain relief was administered just in case.
If I need future surgery I would definitely look at this clinic again.

5* for WLR. I am probably the least likely person to go abroad for surgery, but after being recommended WLR and researching them myself I am SO glad I did. Every single part of the journey has been so easy! From the enquiry to the surgery itself. At no point was there a language barrier. I have received great paperwork. The care is SOO much better than I have ever received at my local NHS hospital. Efficient, clean, professional. I could go on. All in all, i am extremely happy with my experience with WLR and would not hesitate to return. Thank you to everyone who was involved. Here’s to the start of a new journey.

At Weight loss Riga the team went above and beyond to make sure I had a wonderful experience. I live in America, been wanted to do weight loss surgery since 2021. But unfortunately some of the bad bedside manners I've read about in reviews scared the hell out of me. I give 4star because there's always room for improvement.

I was hugely impressed with my package. I returned on Saturday from Riga and to say I was impressed with the whole package is an understatement.
The coordinators in this country and Riga, the cleanliness of the clinic, the lovely staff in the clinic, all drop offs and pick ups were just fantastic. The whole thing was seamless. You have a very good system in place. I did say to the staff at the clinic how lovely they were all the time because I like to give credit where credit is due. Even the surgeon and anaesthetist were just so friendly.
I would highly recommend Weightloss Riga to anyone who is considering having this surgery.

Flew out Monday afternoon, traveling alone and stepping off the plane, picked up. Taken to the Hotel which was nice, next morning was taken to the hospital which is immaculate. Saff nice, I was well looked after. I never had an issue with communication. Pre op tests done. Originally went for a sleeve. But ended up having a full bypass for personal reasons. Aftercare was great, medication was given regularly. Operation was on the Wednesday morning. I was then picked up Friday 7pm Riga time taken to the airport, few back to Bristol and home by midnight. I never once felt nervous, upset or alone. WhatsApp groups have been amazing all supporting each other giving advice. I do not regret a thing! only that I'd had the money and done it sooner. Here's to a skinnier future.

Weight Loss Riga was there for anything and everything before and after my surgery, and ensured that everything went smoothly. The nurses were kind and attentive, although one did ignore that my vein had collapsed and simply told me to stop crying that it hurt. Aside from that experience, I have recovered well from my surgery and saved myself so much money by going to Riga instead of spending twice the amount for half the experience in the UK!

I could not have been happier with the service from Weight Loss Rigi. I went for a gastric band however after a consult with the Doctor I was advised that as a Diabetic, a ByPass is a better solution. The overall feeling for me was that from when I landed to when I left, someone was with me to answer any questions or relieve my pain. I can't describe my appreciation to everyone from the cab driver at the hotel to the pre-op and hospital team. 12KG down in 5 weeks.

Very organised, airport , hotel and hospital transfers. Hospital was very clean. Far exceeded my expectations. Cleaner than NHS by far. I had lots of tests and prior to op. Scans of liver and abdominal organs, endoscopy and also blood. I had a full MOT. Doctors had respect and were kind. Nurses were mostly nice but 2-3of them were very rude and rough.

My experience with weight loss Riga was fantastic from start to finish. The whole experience is extremely well organised from hotels to taxis and pre operative tests. You will have a patient liaison, who is absolutely lovely, and he will explain where you need to be and when. The hospital is extremely clean and again well organised. There is a slight language barrier but everyone was professional and knew what they were doing. I highly recommend getting your surgery done here and you are in very safe hands. I do not regret for a second coming here and only wish I’d done it years ago!

I chose WLR because of the fantastic reviews and also have a family member that went last year. The care I received was second to none from start to finish, everything ran like clockwork and the nurses were very attentive after surgery to ensure you are happy and comfortable. Valentin was fabulous, he ensured that all arrangements in Riga were in place including taxis, and any information we needed. I decided to fly home a day early and Valentin ensured that the surgeon would discharge me on time so that I could go to the airport. Mim in the Uk was great and always got back to me very quickly with any of the million questions I had before leaving. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic hospital, clean and comfortable experience throughout. You are welcomed and shown around the various parts of the ward, the pre-op tests and day of operation went on without issue. Travelling out there alone for surgery, as I’m sure many others do, can be scary but the staff are kind and make you feel safe. I’m 6 months post op at the moment and still get little check-ins from the team to check my progress. I would happily recommend them to anyone considering weight loss surgery.

From booking until being dropped back off at the airport, fantastic, worry free experience! I went alone for a gastric sleeve and was looked after brilliantly. I met 7 other ladies from the UK who were there for surgery so didn't feel completely alone. The hotel was brilliant - clean and spacious and the pillows were so comfy! The clinic was spotless and a nurse arrived within seconds of pressing the call button. Some staff struggled a bit with English, but nothing some hand gestures and breaking it down a bit didn't sort out! I'm now almost 3 weeks out from surgery and have no regrets whatsoever. If you're thinking of booking, do it!!
