Weight Loss Riga Reviews 

Solid support throughout and very organised. No regrets!

I'm very pleased that I decided to go for the surgery through your company, I had an amazing experience, very friendly and caring people, who did everything as clear as possible. Thank you very much.

Am I glad that during my research for the right weight loss clinics I found Weight Loss Riga. From initial consultation with Mim/Sue the UK coordinators. I was truly looked after. Once my date came and I arrived in Riga, everything was exactly as described. Artur who is the Riga side coordinator was first class. Literally it ran all like clockwork. The wider clinical team, the pre ops tests, my wonderful surgeon. Everything made me at ease. Literally the flight out/back is the only time I was ever alone. I never felt scared, uneasy or doubted my decision. The sense of team spirit you make in the WhatsApp groups as soon as you book are amazing (hence you are never on your own) My time flew, the whole thing was so quick, Incredibly easy pain management, in fact the last time I ever needed any pain meds was the day I left clinic to fly home. I’m now two weeks post surgery and including the prep op diet I have lost 2Stone! Thank you in particular to Ruth who was one of my nurses. What a beautiful soul she is. I have to say I found the whole trip actually enjoyable, life changing and so glad I did it. Oh and the clinic is beautiful!! So clean and Uber efficient. Thank you Weight Loss Riga. You all looked after me so well.

Now 4 weeks post op... I researched many places/countries for over a year after reading many horror stories. I then found WLR and researched the surgeon Dr Igors Troickis (there are other surgeons but I only wanted him) and felt very secure to proceed. I didn't want a 'package' that enticed you with free extras or excursions and just wanted transparency. It's run like clockwork and faultless. The hotel was great, the hospital spotless and the day of pre op tests is long winded but they are so thorough that I felt I'd been given a good M.O.T. The staff are amazing and most speak English but honestly it's not a problem, just remember you are in THEIR country. The patient co-ordinator Artur is lovely and very thorough with explaining what will happen and your transfers. I highly recommend joining a WhatsApp group so you talk to people who you will probably meet at the hospital, it's invaluable and a month out we talk all the time and share helpful tips, it really makes you feel part of a group rather than alone and gives you so much support. I highly recommend this company in every aspect.

This was a great experience from start to finish. Very well organised by Mim & the team. Excellent accommodation, centrally based. Transfers were seem less. The clinic for the operation was very well organised and all procedures were carried out with great care and attention from the staff. The procedure was carried out excellently with minor discomfort. Artur gave clear information. I know I’ve made the right choice in having my bypass with WLR. I’d definitely recommend it if your considering surgery.

Safe, professional very well organised service.

What an incredible journey! From the start, communication with the UK liaise Mim was outstanding. I was throughly supported when I had to postpone my surgery due to covid which was a huge relief. Weight Loss Riga kept on top of everything really, all I had to do was sign and turn up. Hotel was lush, all transfers were included so less to worry about. The Latvian patient liaise Artur was also fantastic keeping me in the loop and explaining things for me. The clinic was spotless, a cleaner came into my room twice a day, masks at all time and they challenge if you don’t have one on which I felt was great. Pre ops were explained fully to me and I didn’t find any language barrier issues. The surgery itself was great, met my surgeon the night before who went through what I can expect and offered reassurance. I felt very safe and knew I was in great hands. Going under the anaesthesia was fine, both anaesthetists were lovely and again made me feel safe. Ward nurses are lush and on it with the pain meds, one nurse in particular called Ruth was outstanding. Lots of encouragement for recovery and going as a group was the best, I made some friends for life.
I would 10000% recommended weight loss Riga!

Just returned from Latvia Riga weight lose.

Everything happened as promised on time and even with a covid scare the situation was handled very professionally.

The cab pick ups wher on time , the hotel top notch , the clinic very clean . very little language barrier especially if you try a bit as well.

all together very pleased no regrets .

Must recommend to get on a good forum/whatsapp group that helps in a massive way.

I had my Gastric Sleeve on 03/11/21. I cannot fault the Care, service or professionalism I was afforded by WLR!
Thank you so much.

From the moment I made contact with Mim and then leaving the hospital after my sleeve operation, I can’t fault my experience.
Great service, hotel, friendly staff at the hospital and total value for money.
If your worried, don’t be. They really look after you. I highly recommend.

Top class seem less service. I’m a nurse and midwife and I highly recommend

WLRiga and the team are brilliant from start to end - they organise everything you need to get thought the op seamlessly.

Slight language barrier sometimes but besides this so worth the money and effort of travelling abroad for anyone hesitating - don't just go for it!!

I was so nervous about Choosing WLR but there was no need to be ! Looked after better than our own NHS. A beautiful City and a spotless hospital and accommodation. Communication was key and very clear at every stage from initial consultation from the lovely Sue to every stage in the process. Norman and the nurses kept us informed and looked after with all the pre ops and obs after the op and Artur was brilliant also with the organisational side of stuff. The surgeons were also very attentive and listened to your queries and requests. I cannot thank them enough. A second chance for me, they have given me a tool that I never thought possible

I went to WLR for a gastric sleeve and from start to finish it was a very professional operation with someone to answer any questions i had 24/7, even in latvia infound my experience well organised, relaxed, professional and incredibly organised, im home now and in great recovery within a week and already started losing weight, the whole team from mim and the team emailing me back, artur and the nurses and doctors....amazing! Thank you WLR!

From the minute I put the enquiry form in on the Weight Loss Riga site, I've experienced great service. The team have supported me throughout the process. I booked the procedure in march 2021, for October 2021. Throughout this time, the team kept me well informed about the change in regulations with regards to foreign travel etc.
Upon my arrival in Riga, a taxi was waiting for me at the airport to transfer to the hotel. The hotel was very nice, clean and in a prime location to have a wonder around the city.
The next morning, one of the clinics representatives was waiting at reception (at the pre-arranged time). A taxi took a group of us over the the clinic.
The clinic was beautiful and clean. The nursing staff were very pleasant. Their English is limited, but I would not expect otherwise travelling to another country. Nothing google translate couldn't remedy however.
So the pre-operative tests were carried out. By late morning, the surgeries were scheduled for the day.
Post operative care was faultless. The nurses on my floor were efficient with IV fluids, IV pain medication and supported me with getting dressed and walking post op.

Everything went straightforward for me. I am very thankful for that. I absolutely would highly recommend using this company. They are thorough and have been amazing with me. You won't regret it!

Since returning from Riga I’ve heard some absolute horror stories from other people who had the same procedure as me, in the UK & in Turkey. This really is testament to the five star service Riga offers. Polite, friendly, incredibly efficient, English speaking staff who did everything to make my stay as seamless & pain free as possible. Everything was taken care of, from the point of landing through to leaving the clinic, I cannot fault the service I received from the entire team and am truly grateful for all the help and support I received throughout my entire journey. I would recommend Weightloss Riga to anyone considering surgery.
