Words can not describe how wonderful this organization is and how amazing the procedure is. I was blown away by the staff and how they worked to get me comfortable. Before during and after. I am still in my 8th week but I am down 35 pounds. Dr. McGowen is absolutely the best I have not had ONE issue at all. It’s a testament to his work and professionalism. Truly bravo

Bariendo saved my life

Bariendo saved my life. I was 450 pounds barely surviving. Couldn’t walk, had so many health issues. Got the ESG in the end of April this year and I’m down 85+ pounds and counting. My life was changed. The amazing support from the Bariendo team made is so possible. Truly is an amazing place!

I am extremely satisfied with both the customer service and the results of my procedure. From the moment I arrive, the staff was professional, attentive, and made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Everything was clearly explained, and my questions were answered with care and patience.The procedure itself exceeded my expectations, and the results afterward were exactly what I was hoping for. I truly appreciate the high-level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care provided. I would highly recommend this service to anyone seeking quality results and excellent customer service.

I had the ESG surgery

I had the ESG surgery. The entire experience was very professional. I’ve lost 55 lbs since July. Medical kind and very supportive. They were thorough with the prep, surgery, and post-surgery. Facility performed in Florida was excellent. Surgical and nutritional staff are very supportive.

I have HOPE again

Since undergoing my TORe procedure, I’ve lost 25 pounds. I had the procedure on a Friday and was able to return to work by Tuesday.
What has stood out most in my journey is the incredible support I’ve received—from my very first inquiry all the way through the follow-ups with my dietitian and behavioral counselor. The team’s encouragement and wealth of knowledge have made all the difference.
When I recommend Bariendo to friends, I tell them how much I appreciate the consistent care and guidance I’ve received, not just before the procedure but throughout the entire year afterward. Their ongoing follow-ups have been essential to my continued success and progress in my health journey.

Entirely disappointing

Started off hopeful. Turns out- Entirely disappointing. Waste of time and money. You’ll be abandoned if you’re not wildly successful despite being compliant and open to all suggestions. You can do what you’re supposed to and still fail with this. Think hard about the money you’re going to spend.

This was the best thing I could do for myself

I am two weeks post procedure and this is the best decision I've made for myself in a long, long, time. I looked at several clinics after choosing ESG and the aftercare at Bariendo was what sold me. Boy, have they lived up to the hype. From onboarding to my follow ups with my wellness councilor to the support from the Facebook community, this has been a great experience. If you're considering a bariatric procedure, do yourself a favor and talk to the people at Bariendo. They were not the least expensive company I spoke with, but the value of their support far exceeds and small differences in price.

Best decision

From the minute I spoke to someone about wanting to learn about the procedure until now I have had nothing but the most caring, professional treatment. I have lost 37 pounds in 10 weeks, my goal is 55 pounds. I feel fantastic, the support is second to none. I feel great, no pain, no issues. This is a life altering procedure and I thank Bariendo for changing my life.

Bariendo is amazing and the ESG procedure changed my life

The ESG procedure by Bariendo was the best thing I have ever done for myself. The team provided support before, during, and after the procedure. The staff is incredible to say the least and they really do demonstrate their care for their clients! I always felt safe and confident going through the process. I would recommend ESG to anyone who is possibly looking into options to lose weight because this process has a lot less risk and down time with life long results. I am currently 6mo's post-opt and i have already lost 25% of my initial body weight and I only missed 3 days of work to make this happen! This has greatly improved my health and boosted my self-esteem. I feel like I got a fresh start on a new me and I'm astonished at my results as as I am STILL losing weight and haven't stalled out yet. Willpower, dieting, and exercising didn't provide me with significant weight loss results prior, but getting ESG facilitated definate success in addition to those previously failed steps. I would recommend Bariendo to anyone who is exploring weigh loss options and is willing to keep putting in their best effort. Nothing is easy, but with this level of care and commitment you're set up for nothing but success. This has changed my whole lifestyle, you can do it too!

You’re not alone!

I am a frequent flyer when it comes to bariatric surgery. 2011 gastric band. Lost 85 pounds. Difficult recovery and took a long time to get the right restriction. Once I got to goal, my band slipped and started to regain. 2018 band removal. 30 days after had gastric sleeve. Surgeon did not take as much as he had hoped due to scar tissue. Never had true restriction and continued to gain back 50 pounds. No follow up and no support over those years. Came across Bariendo as I had contemplated revision to by-pass. Another invasive procedure I was not looking forward to. The endoscopic procedure proposed an alternate to an invasive and long recovery procedure. Scar tissue would not be a problem. I research and watched videos of the procedure and interviews with Bariendo doctors. I got Dr Rana. Could not be happier. From the qualifying, to pre op, to surgery day, continued follow up and support. Loved my Nurse practitioner weekly Telehealth with Cameron. Encouraging and supportive of every step. Instructive and expectations of how to feel and treat my new tool. It’s all about healing and proper nutrition to get past the first 6 weeks. 20 pounds down into Onederland! For the first time in a long time I feel accomplished. From FB to regular Telehealth with nutritionist Lori, I have faith this journey will be successful.

My ONLY regret is not getting it done sooner.

I had the Stomach Tightening Bariendo procedure (ESG) in January.  I was at my highest weight ever, at 230 lbs.  I had given up by then, after having tried everything else. One day out of nowhere I saw an advertisement for Bariendo.  I had never heard of these kinds of procedures before, so I was excited and I called.  A Non Invasive, same day procedure, a fraction of the cost of other Gastric procedures and very little downtime? Sign me up. 
I really loved everything about my Bariendo experience, They really care. There is no shortage of support from them the entire time. They make you feel comfortable before and during the procedure and they are there to help you after.  A few months before I had been put on statins, and 2 months after my procedure my Cholesterol numbers were back normal without medication. My PC doctor was very surprised. I sleep better and I FEEL better. 
After 6 months, I am now down 41 lbs (so far). I can't tell you how happy I am and how this changed my life. I would recommend this to my family, my friends and anybody who wants to lose weight, but not necessarily go through an expensive invasive procedure. If you stick to the plan, talk to your support (dietitian and nurse) you WILL lose weight. For me it was slow and steady and I wouldn't want it any other way. ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I HAVE MADE.

The Right Choice for a Healthier Me

I came across the Bariendo website while still on vacation, and travel guilt quickly set in after indulging a bit too much during my trip. From my very first impression on the website to every single interaction with the team, the experience has been flawless. It was so seamless that I went from landing on the website to being in the operating room in just 20 days.

Now, almost a week after my procedure, I couldn’t be happier with my decision. I’ve experienced zero pain, and aside from knowing I’m on a liquid diet, everything feels completely normal. I haven’t once felt like I was starving.

Every member of the Bariendo team I interacted with has been incredibly supportive and professional. The preparation, the wellness calls, and the procedure itself have all been top-notch. In my case, this was a revision of a gastric sleeve, and today I feel truly grateful that I chose Bariendo

For anyone seeking out options for weight loss, whether it’s your first bariatric procedure or a revision. I would strongly encourage you to consider Bariendo as one of the best options available.

Take Control of Your life!

I have struggled with weight loss my entire life. Although I had some success with in my 20's, it was mostly due to fad diets that didn't last or were too difficult to maintain.

Now in my late 40's, I thought I had found the answer with injectable GLP-1 medications. I couldn't be more wrong. The medications were often difficult to find in stock and even more difficult to pay for. Although I used them for a couple of years, my life was plagued with awful side effects such as nausea, extreme exhaustion, and constipation. In fact. I then found myself in need of other medications to counteract all of these side effects. Over all, it helped curb my appetite, but the results were not very impressive and certainly not worth the havoc they caused. I knew that this was not going to be a permanent, lasting solution. I certainly didn't want to think of the possible side effects for long term use either.

After doing some online research, I came across the Bariendo site, and from that moment my life had changed forever! From the initial call to the Bariendo team, to my consultation with the doctor, to my post recovery care, the Bariendo team was absolutely extraordinary. The level of care, compassion, and support this team has provided has been beyond any expectation. The procedure was virtually painless, and the program relatively easy to follow.

Since my procedure on 6/30/25 I have lost 43 pounds as of 8/24/25! (from 304 lbs. to 261 lbs. and counting) I have also gained....gained more energy, gained incredible sleep (bye bye sleep apnea!), gained better blood pressure, gained confidence in myself, gained control over my hunger, gained the ability to wear the clothes in my closet, and gained an optimistic outlook on my years ahead.

This was the BEST decision I have ever made to improve my health and quality of life. I have recommended this to all my loved ones. This may sound cliché, but my only regret is not doing this sooner!

I had the gastric bypass 30 years ago…

I had the gastric bypass 30 years ago and had since regained the weight I couldn't find a doctor that would do a revision on my original surgery. I'm so very happy I found Dr. Thompson!! I got the TORe procedure done and let me tell you: 1) I was in the gym the very next day!! and 2) I have lost a total of 30lbs so far that's 6 weeks post op!!!

Amazing!

I reached out to Bariendo to have the TORe procedure done. The before surgery experience was very easy, helpful and informative.
I was 21 years after my gastric bypass when I had a medical issue that caused my to begin regaining some weight. After receiving that first phone call, I knew I made the correct decision.
My surgery was scheduled very quickly and since then I have seen a steady decrease in weight!! In 6 weeks, I have lost 16 pounds with about 10 to 15 to go!
The support from everyone is amazing.
I would definitely recommend Bariendo to anyone needing help.

A Life-Changing Journey with Bariendo

A Life-Changing Journey with Bariendo

Let me share my incredible experience with Bariendo and the amazing team that’s helping me take control of my health and my life.

Eleven years ago, I had Gastric Sleeve surgery and lost over 100 pounds. But like many people, I struggled to maintain that weight loss over time—and eventually, I gained it all back. That’s when I found Bariendo, and I can honestly say it has been a total game-changer.

From the very beginning, every single person at Bariendo has been nothing short of exceptional. Carmen was the first person I spoke with, and she made me feel welcomed and supported from day one. Dr. Rana performed my procedure with care and professionalism, making the whole experience smooth and reassuring. Then there’s Cam, who has been a rock during the crucial 6-week liquid diet—motivating, knowledgeable, and always there when I needed guidance. Now, I’m working with one of their fantastic dietitians for the next 12 months, and I truly feel like I have a team in my corner every step of the way.

In just 6 weeks, I’ve gone from 302.8 pounds to 265.0 pounds—that’s 37.8 pounds down and a major step toward reclaiming my health.

What makes Bariendo so special isn’t just the weight loss—it’s the people. They genuinely care, they know what they’re doing, and they’re committed to helping you succeed. I feel empowered, supported, and excited for what lies ahead. I’m embracing a healthier lifestyle and, thanks to Bariendo, I know this time it’s going to stick.

If you’re looking for a team that truly has your back and a program that delivers real results, I cannot recommend Bariendo highly enough. They’ve given me a second chance—and I’m incredibly grateful.

Life-Changing Experience with Long-Term results

I had a fantastic experience with Bariendo from start to finish. I chose the gastric balloon and lost 9.5% of my starting weight. More importantly, I feel lighter, more energetic, and more confident in my daily life. I was also able to get off of my blood pressure medication.

What stood out most to me was the ongoing support. I had a few challenges in the beginning, and Bariendo’s team made sure I never felt alone—they were quick to offer guidance and encouragement. Even after the initial adjustment period, I continued to receive regular support, check-ins, and practical advice tailored to my needs. I didn't just get a gastric balloon, I got the resources I needed to create permanent change in my life.

If a friend asked me whether Bariendo is worth it, I’d say absolutely—especially if they’re looking for a non-surgical option with real support. The process felt manageable because I knew someone was in my corner the whole way.

Best birthday gift to myself! Hello 40s!

I have struggled with my weight since I was 8. Over the last 20 years I have tried countless diets and exercises to only find temporary weight loss. After 3 kids and approaching my 40s no matter what I seemed to do I would lose and gain the same 10lbs. I knew I needed a tool to help me reach my goals. I found Bariendo and the ESG procedure and I knew I found what I had been looking for. Now 6 weeks after my procedure I am 30lbs down and lost 19 inches. My debilitating fatigue is no more and I have energy to not just make it through my day but to thrive. I have the energy and physical capability to play with my kids instead of just being a bystander. I am now looking forward to my 40s and being my healthiest version of myself. If you are hesitating I’m your sign to go for it! You won’t regret it! You deserve this!
