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.

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.

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 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!!!

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 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.

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.

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!
