Claudiaon ProvenExpert

Ingreep verliep goed en nazorg eerste weken is accoord maar daarna is er geen nazorg meer tenzij je zelf belt waar geen stimulans van uit gaat. Ik vind de nazorg onvoldoende en in vergelijking met andere klinieken opvallend weinig. Een digitale groep of iets dergelijks met een dietist zou veel beter zijn. Ik ben veel minder afgevallen dan verwacht en dat heeft meer dan 1000 euro per kilo gekost.

Operation at the Weight Doctors® Nationalklinik

A.

Weight Doctors® Wertheim · March 2026 · Review on ProvenExpert

I have to admit honestly that from the first day of my decision to take this path until the actual operation, I did not regret it for a single second. The operation was only 10 days ago and, with 7.2 kg less weight, I am doing extremely well.

When I arrived at the Wertheim clinic, I was given a warm welcome. All the staff I came into contact with during my stay were extraordinarily empathetic, competent, friendly, helpful and funny. You have a big thank-you from me for that.

As for the pain, the first two days were, well, the least pleasant. I did not have to endure any pain – everything was done to make sure it was easily bearable. Because of my long journey home, I was able to stay one night longer at the clinic than planned without any problem.

I am only at the start of my new adventure, but I am quite sure it will be the journey of my life. Many, many thanks to everyone who has supported me during this time and will continue to do so.

Gisela, aged 65

Weight Doctors® Hamburg · February 2022 · Experience report

−27 kglost

There was one problem in my life that had been with me since childhood: my excess weight. On 9 February 2022 the time had finally come to find a solution: the stomach reduction operation (…) took place. Everything went without complications. Some time has passed now and I have meanwhile lost 27 kilos. (…)

I have found my way into intensive sport, which I now enjoy enormously. My joy in life and my quality of life have risen to an unimaginable extent. I now finally feel at home in my body and have made peace with it. (…)

The care at the clinic, from both the staff and the medical side, was outstanding. No questions were left open before the procedure, I was always wonderfully looked after and accompanied, and we are still in contact even now.

Gastric balloon for 12 months

D.

June 2026 · Review on ProvenExpert

−24 kglost

After many setbacks, I went to the practice feeling hopeful to find out about the gastric balloon. After a very competent consultation, I decided on the 12-month gastric balloon. The procedure, the care and the advice were excellent. There was always someone available and I felt very well looked after. The result of a weight loss of over 24 kg was also more than satisfactory for me. Weight Doctors has made a new life possible for me. Many thanks!

Endoscopic stomach reduction

Miri

June 2020 · Review

−22 kgin 5 months

It all started with a consultation (…), where all my questions were answered, and it quickly became clear to me that an endoscopic stomach reduction was the right thing for me. After I had thought about my decision again for a few days following the conversation, I called and (…) made an appointment for the conversation with the doctor. He too explained the whole procedure to me once more, and I was able to ask the questions I had collected by then.

On 18 June I then had the endoscopic stomach reduction carried out. (…) The whole team is really super friendly and always there for you. I really felt very well looked after in every respect, and I still feel that now in the aftercare.

Update, 5 months later: the best decision I have ever made. In total I am now 22 kg lighter and have really managed to change my entire diet and simply eat normally for once.

Weight Doctors SLEEVE®

Nicci, aged 38

Weight Doctors® Düsseldorf · January 2022 · Experience report

My experiences with the Weight Doctors clinic were really positive from the very first day. The way the team treated me was incredible, and it guided me through everything from start to finish – from the decision-making process before treatment to the support after treatment. I had the feeling that they accompanied me on my journey at every step and that my well-being was close to their hearts. (…)

The treatment itself at the Düsseldorf clinic went very well (…) and the overall results of my endo sleeve operation were really positive. (…)

At last I feel I have control over something I thought would be a lifelong struggle for me, and both my general health and my self-confidence have improved considerably in the last year since my first treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions,
our answers

Your question isn’t listed? Your specialist will take time for it during the consultation.

How can I get a consultation with Weight Doctors?

The easiest way is through our appointment portal: there you choose the location, treatment and preferred appointment directly. You can also reach us by telephone, by email or in the chat here on the page. The consultation is no obligation.

Why should I have my treatment at Weight Doctors?

At Weight Doctors®, specialists in surgery and internal medicine work together as a well-coordinated team with one focus: losing weight for the long term. They accompany you from consultation through treatment to aftercare. You can see who will treat you under Specialists, and further reasons under 13 best reasons for Weight Doctors®.

Is Weight Doctors reputable?

Yes. You are treated by specialists – you can see who will treat you, with their name and career, under Specialists. More than 3,000 patients have rated the Weight Doctors® Group, with ProvenExpert’s “Top Recommendation” award every year since 2022, plus the MyBody certificate. You can read how others have fared under Success stories. The consultation is without obligation, and there are no hidden costs.

How does support before and after treatment work?

Depending on the scope of services, in person at the location, by telephone, by email or via the Weight Doctors® App; our team gets in touch with you regularly. More under Weight Doctors® 360°.

Why should I undergo endoscopic treatment?

Endoscopic therapies such as the Weight Doctors SLEEVE®, hydroGMA or the gastric balloon are performed via the mouth and oesophagus – without an incision in the abdomen and without scars, usually as an outpatient. We clarify which therapy suits you in the consultation.

Will I have to go hungry during treatment?

No, going hungry is not the goal. Our treatments address the feeling of hunger itself: the gastric balloon and the Weight Doctors SLEEVE® help you feel full sooner, while GLP-⁠1 and hydroGMA target the hormones that control hunger. In everyday life, your doctor and the Weight Doctors® App support you.

Can I be treated if I have gastritis or other stomach problems?

That depends on your symptoms and on the treatment. Tell us in the consultation which symptoms you have and which medicines you take – your specialist will then check whether and when a treatment is an option for you. Sometimes, for example, an inflammation has to heal first. Please have acute stomach pain checked by your GP first.

Can I pay for my treatment in instalments?

Yes, through our partner Ideal4Finance you spread the cost over monthly instalments (subject to a credit check). How this works can be found under Payment in instalments.

Finally lose weight properly.
