I had the ESG stomach tightening procedure in January 2024. 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, at a fraction of the cost of other weight loss procedures, and with minimal 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 the procedure, I had been put on statins, and 2 months after my procedure, my cholesterol numbers were back to normal without medication. My primary care doctor was amazed. I sleep better and I feel better!

After six months, I have now lost 41 pounds (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 without going through an expensive, invasive procedure. If you stick to the plan and talk to your support team (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!
