I had researched this many times and the minute I read about Weighloss Latvia, I knew where I was going to go. They were all so helpful and I have to say, the care I received was brilliant. From being collected from the airport, to all the pre op testing, the care after the operation itself. I am now 3 and a half months post op, and it is like I never went. My recovery has been excellent, weight loss is just 3 stone. So very happy and would highly, highly recommend.

From start to finish (it never finishes as your friends for life) the service is impeccable. Super friendly yet not pushy at all. I had tried other companies in Latvia first and was put off by the sales tactics but you don’t get all that nonsense with Ilva and weightloss Latvia. Very reassuring when you have nerves and doubts, lots of info and videos to watch about the process. They even pick you up and drop you off from the airport. The hospital is quiet and clean with lovely friendly staff, language barriers didn’t matter. The area around the hospital is like something out of a fairytale. Lots of woodlands and parks to walk around. Highly recommend Weightloss Latvia. I am 10 months post op and lost over 8 stone! It’s given me my life back.

I highly recommend Weight Loss Latvia! From the moment I spoke with Ilva, I knew they were the right company for me. Their team was incredibly supportive from start to finish, and even now, six months later, they continue to be amazing. No matter what questions or issues I’ve had, they’ve always been there to help. I couldn’t recommend them enough! A huge thank you to Dr Oleg and the entire team for changing my life, I am truly greateful!

I cannot recommend Weight Loss Latvia highly enough! From start to finish, everything was extremely well organised, and every step of the process was clearly explained. Ilva was absolutely fantastic—she was always available to answer any questions I had, both before, during, and after my procedure, which provided me with so much reassurance and confidence. One of the biggest comforts was that my mother was able to accompany me, and Ilva kindly arranged a local hotel for her, making the whole experience much easier and less nerve wracking. Ilva even went above and beyond by personally transporting us to and from pre-operative tests, to and from the hospital, and back to the airport, which made everything so much more stress-free. The hospital itself was spotless and very comfortable, with the nurses being incredibly kind and attentive—I felt well cared for the entire time. I also had my own room, which was large and perfect for getting in some steps after the surgery, and the bathroom was clean and spacious so I was able to shower easily before and after the operation. Dr. Olegs was also wonderful as he was patient, listened to my thoughts and concerns about the procedure, and handled my last-minute decision to switch procedures. Even after returning home, Ilva has kept in touch, checking in on me and is always happy to answer any further questions I have. This ongoing support means so much, and I truly appreciate it. If you are considering weight loss surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Weight Loss Latvia—you will be in excellent hands!

From the moment I made my first enquiry, Weight Loss Latvia has been nothing short of exceptional. The entire team is understanding, professional, and incredibly helpful—not just during the process but even now, long after my procedure. The doctors explain everything in clear detail, ensuring you feel informed and confident every step of the way. The nurses are absolutely wonderful, providing care and kindness that truly make a difference. And then there’s Ilva—she is the heart and soul of it all, guiding and supporting you throughout your journey. The process was so easy, and the results have genuinely transformed my life. It feels like I’ve been given a new lease on life, and I couldn’t be more grateful. If you’re considering this journey, I wholeheartedly recommend Weight Loss Latvia—you won’t regret it! Thank you, Weight Loss Latvia, for changing my life! 💖

I had surgery five years ago through Weight Loss Latvia. Having contacted several companies prior and felt unsure about where to have Bariatric surgery. The minute I spoke to Ilva my mind was made up. Her professionalism, kind approach and expertise was so reassuring in making my decision to go with Weight Loss Latvia. The whole process was seamless. Dr Olegs is an amazing surgeon. The nurses are so kind and caring. The hospital is spotless and a full general hospital. I was very happy with my experience. The aftercare was very thorough and Ilva checked in with me regularly. Cant thank the team enough. R

From day one of FaceTiming Ilva to being back home post op, I couldn’t fault a single part of the process. I was obviously worried about travelling solo from Scotland but I shouldn’t have been! Ilva always took time to explain everything to me and answer questions so by the time we met in person I felt like I was meeting an old friend. The hospital was very clean and comfortable with beautiful views all around and I always felt very cared for. The dr visited a few times to go over everything and popped in a few times after my op too and he was always very friendly and helpful. Ilva even took me on a little tour of Sigulda to show me some of the local history. I really hope to return to Sigulda for a holiday one day as the place is picturesque!

Best of the best medical experience. Every single step, starting with payment, traveling, medical related questions and post-surgery care, was explained and guided by Ilva. Everything is well organised from arrival to departure. No worries, all is already done for you. I couldn't decide up to last day what kind of surgery be best for me. Dr. Kozlovkis took in account all my personal medical conditions before advised best option for me. Unfortunately for me, I got some kind of flu virus, probably during traveling, which got so exposed badly after surgery when my immune system was weak. Ilva, Dr. Kozlovkis and all their team took best care of me. I was treated additionally from virus. I had to stay extra time in the hospital, charge free, as I had wheezing cough, temperature and short breath. I could feel that everyone cared. After return, Ilva is still following with me about my health. Highly recommended.

From the moment I made contact with Ilva Weight loss Latvia was a joy. She made everything stress free. Ilva was full of fantastic guidance and information about the different gastric procedures and more. I had researched lots of countries looking for gastric surgery and when I came across this website, it was clear, factual and honest and did not prioritise money facts and special offers with a limousine pickup. Ilva collected me from the airport which was great as I was flying solo and very kindly took me for a little tour of Riga which was amazing and cared for me every step of the way. Ilva took me for all my pre-ops assessments and to the hospital in Sigulda for the surgery and recovery then collected me and took me back to the airport. Another great fact of this experience was the Facebook page and all the different video sessions and information that is provided by Ilva on dietary and good health requirements. All the surgery procedures are in line with the European law and guidelines, which I found reassuring. Especially as cost could be reclaimed if on an NHS waitlist. Although cost was not shoved in my face with advertising it was actually very good value and a fraction of what I would’ve paid in the UK to go privately. The hospital was amazing and overlooked a beautiful valley with castles in the distance. The hospital was very quiet and it felt like I had my own nurse on call with a nice private room. The surgeon Dr Olegs is very supportive and clear with what he thinks his recommendations should be. His priority was my health and he had to make changes to the surgery type due to a preoperative assessment finding. I finally went for the gastric sleeve surgery and at the time I was weighing 94kg and now eight months later I weigh 69kg. Within three months of the surgery, part of my GP follow-up bloodworks showed vast improvements and I feel so much better in myself. I still have a little more to lose and weight is beginning to drop off a little slow

I would have really done my research as I already had a bad experience abroad so I left nothing to chance this time. From my initial contact with Ilva I know I had found a great team but I didn't take any chances I got my friend who was a nurse write out about 20 questions and sent them off to Ilva and she answered them immediately and yes it was a full hospital with ICU blood transfusion facilities an EU hospital which has to follow all EU guidelines All so important in case something goes wrong Of course everything she said was true and the care from ilva and Dr Olgas was beyond my own high expectations. The hospital was amazing and surgery was so easy. I had teeth out that caused me more pain. I also didn't know about the cross border initiative until Ilva told me eventhough I was on a waiting list in Ireland for 6 years. She filled out all the forms for me and I got my money back in 6 weeks Another big plus about this company is you never felt they were taking your money and leaving you to fend for yourself. The aftercare was amazing and nearly 3 years down the line (Feb 2022) Ilva still checks in on you every now and then. I was so happy with this company I accompanied my sister in the August of that year for her successful operation We are now living our best life and I thank God every day I found this amazing WLL. Please give yourself the best gift by booking your surgery. It's simply the best.

I wanted to let anybody who is considering going to have weight loss surgery with Weigh Loss Lativa WLL that they are making the right decision. I travelled to Lativa on my own in April 2024. I wanted to lose weight, I was waiting for a full hip replacement. When I had the pre-op for my hip replacement I was shocked by my weight I think I was in denial before that day, the nurse gave me the dreaded lecture. I left the hospital committed to doing something positive and luckily I found Weight Loss Latvia that day, I spoke with Iliva. I postponed my hip surgery and travelled to Latvia the following month. My weight loss is still in progress, but I am very happy as I know I will finish the journey. I had my hip operation 2 weeks ago.. the team were delighted with my weight loss! I am happier and more mobile and recovering great. I just feel lighter too. Weight puts such a strain on you both mentally and physically. And the cycle of dieting is exhausting and depressing. We could all write the book. I would highly recommend Iliva she is such a professional. The whole team in WLL are just brilliant. Also, if you are Irish and you ensure your paperwork is correct the Cross Boarder Directive - CBD will reimburse a large percentage of your money within a couple of months - approx €3650. The pubic waiting list for weightloss surgery in Ireland is 6 years minimum. The cost of private is at least €23,000. Your in Safe hands.. Take care & all the best 👍

I recently underwent gastric bypass surgery with Weight Loss Latvia, and I'm extremely satisfied with the entire experience. Ilva, the owner, was exceptionally friendly, informative, and supportive throughout the process. Her guidance and care made me feel comfortable and well-prepared. Dr. Oleg, the surgeon, was outstanding. He thoroughly explained all the steps of the procedure and performed the surgery with great skill. I felt confident in his expertise, and the results have been excellent. The entire team at Weight Loss Latvia demonstrated professionalism and a deep understanding of their field. Everything went smoothly, from the initial consultation to the post-operative care. I'm impressed by their knowledge and dedication to patient care. I highly recommend Weight Loss Latvia for anyone considering gastric bypass surgery. Their combination of expertise, support, and excellent results made my experience truly positive."

when I say I researched thoroughly i mean THOROUGHLY. Spreadsheet of options/reviews/prices /instagram/tiktok reviews from patients etc etc . My only regret is I wish i had done it sooner. Ilva and Dr Olegs are an absolute dream team, Ilva is there when you need her and the hospital and its care are second to none. riga and sigulda are beautiful places, i am 19 weeks post op and couldnt be happier and thankful to weightloss latvia.

Good and honest information before the decision and journey, great and warm guidance during the stay and surgery, and for me, great results. I went back after almost a year and again was very welcome to visit the clinic and even had a free consult with the surgeon.

Really honest, kind, explained everything thoroughly. I felt like a human for the first time in years. The hospital was immaculately clean and all staff have been fantastic. Honestly 5 star experience.

Like anyone making this decision, it can be nerve wracking especially going to a different country. I cannot say enough about Ilva and Dr Oleg. They are amazing people. The care I received over the was outstanding and it is so efficient and organized so well. I will never be able to thank them enough for what they have given me. I would highly recommend them. Ellen

I had a great experience with weight loss Latvia. All the staff involved couldn’t have done more to help me. I would highly recommend them to anyone thinking of taking the plunge and going for surgery. Thanks to everyone involved with my care and well being.

I honestly cannot express how incredible weight loss Latvia are. From Ilva to Olegs and all the healthcare professionals I met along the way. From the moment in contacted Ilva to the day I flew over, she went above and beyond for me and I felt welcomed like family. Anyone thinking about going to Latvia to have bariatric surgery I would highly recommend this place as you will not be disappointed.
