The best decision I have ever made.
At last I feel I have control over something I thought would be a lifelong struggle for me …
First the gastric balloon, then the Weight Doctors SLEEVE®: in the film, Christine explains why she decided on even more support.
Since the last weigh-in I have been under the big 100 mark.
The team was extremely professional and empathetic, which took away my fear of the procedure.

What patients write about us
Many thanks for the pleasant and competent consultation. I felt very well looked after and all my questions were answered clearly.
Janaon ProvenExpert
Super friendly staff and people to talk to, very kind and sensitive when it comes to intimate matters. I really enjoyed talking with the lady from the consultation; the whole conversation filled me with genuine inner joy. Thank you so much for that.
Karina H.on ProvenExpert
I found the consultation very pleasant and friendly. My adviser addressed my questions and was able to answer everything. I felt I was in very good hands.
Christin R.on ProvenExpert
The conversation with my adviser went very well. My questions were explained in a way I could really understand. She took a lot of time for me. I left the conversation very satisfied and reassured.
Carstenon ProvenExpert
So far I can only assess the telephone consultation. It was very thorough and competent. I also received documents by email, which I can now look through at my leisure. Everything is very transparent and easy to understand.
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
The first contact via the telephone consultation with Birgit was absolutely positive. The conversation was very informative, all questions could be discussed and answered, and on top of that I received a lot of additional information and explanations. The whole atmosphere of the conversation was incredibly friendly, and at no point did I feel there was any time pressure or that I was supposed to be ‘talked into’ something. My conclusion is that after the conversation I feel better advised than I had expected beforehand. Thank you very much for that
Andreason ProvenExpert
Today I had a consultation. I was asked personal questions about my medical history that are significant to me and will be very important for the upcoming treatment. They listened carefully to what I had to say about my background. I was also given precise information about my personal costs / coverage of costs by the health insurer or financing. The consultation was very informative for me, and the conversation overall was very pleasant and very friendly.
Susanneon ProvenExpert
Had my first contact by phone today. It was a very informative, detailed conversation. Ms Zitzer is a very friendly, caring and, above all, very competent member of staff. She was able to answer all my questions 100%. It was a really great first contact. That's how you want to be welcomed as a patient. Unfortunately I can't answer all the questions for the review yet, but as I said, the first contact was absolutely top-notch. Many thanks
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
Unfortunately I can’t judge anything more yet, but the consultation was very nice and friendly. My questions were answered well. The young lady on the phone is a very good adviser and listener.
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
Well, after today’s consultation and information session with Ms Eysselein, I was very satisfied and confident. In a likeable way, she gave me comprehensive information about everything relating to the path towards getting closer to my dream goal of lasting weight reduction, and I can already wholeheartedly recommend the Weight Doctors Group to anyone who also has body issues and is toying with the idea of having this problem treated medically. Together you can always find a way to tackle the problem, remove the obstacle and reach the goal! Many thanks at this point for giving me this opportunity.
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
All my questions were answered. I was able to ask everything I wanted to. It was a friendly conversation and I felt understood and that I was met where I was.
Susanne H.on ProvenExpert
Hi, getting in touch was easy, convenient and reliable. The phone appointment was on time to the minute. The conversation started pleasantly and continued in the same way. I was listened to, I was thanked most politely and there was lots of important information and answers, e.g. the note about the cooperation with health insurers, which cover a major part of the treatment costs. Many thanks for the nice and informative phone call. I have decided to go ahead with treatment.
Jan S.on ProvenExpert
I received a very friendly, helpful, honest consultation by phone 🥰 all my questions were answered honestly and competently, the conversation was only ended once I as a patient had no more open questions .. no cutting me off, no interrupting, just honest, open and warm advice. One matter had to be checked internally and I got another call a short while later. I was and am more than satisfied, especially because of the honest manner and answers, I would recommend them any time
Gülon ProvenExpert
An incredibly great conversation. I didn’t feel ridiculed or not taken seriously. Based on my data, a recommendation was made, with reasons. I didn’t feel talked into anything or pressured. Thank you so much.
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
I had a very friendly, thorough consultation by phone. Unfortunately, the proposed solutions involve enormous costs that not everyone can afford.
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
I'm very satisfied all round. The Weight Doctors team was there for me with every question and always very friendly! The treatment at the practice was excellent. Even after the treatment had finished, the Weight Doctors team contacted me again to ask how I was doing. I would definitely recommend Weight Doctors Group.
Anonymouson ProvenExpert
I was so happy with the way you're treated and how kindly and well they look after you. And especially with the result I've already achieved in less than six months. No question is too much and they take time for you. Definitely recommended.
Claudiaon ProvenExpert
The procedure went well and the aftercare in the first few weeks was OK, but after that there's no more aftercare unless you call yourself, and there's nothing to encourage you to do so. I find the aftercare inadequate and noticeably sparse compared with other clinics. A digital group or something similar with a dietitian would be much better. I lost much less weight than expected and it cost more than 1000 euros per kilo.
Carine W.on ProvenExpert
So far it was only a consultation, but it was very good.
ANDRE W.on ProvenExpert
Unfortunately, so far I can only judge the consultation, and it was very friendly, empathetic and thorough. Thank you for that

Update: I have had my procedure and it went wonderfully. My care team was absolutely lovely; they made sure I felt as comfortable as possible and were very kind and attentive. I could not be more satisfied with the care I received.

I am really satisfied all round! Even today – two years after the procedure – they always have an open ear for me! A very competent, friendly team! I felt very well looked after here and would recommend the Weight Doctors at any time!
Sven15.12.2022
I had my operation in November and now two weeks have passed. My weight has gone down from 113.5 kg to 105.2 kg, which I think is very good. No major problems. No heartburn either.
Antimidus, 67 years oldWeight Doctors SLEEVE® patient in November 2020Weight Doctors Dortmund
Dear Mr Gläser, dear Weight Doctors team,
my enthusiasm is boundless. I literally felt as if I were the Professor's mum.
Everything explained several times, down to the smallest details. All, but really all, of the staff devoted a great deal of time. Even the surgeon asked several times how I was and said goodbye to me personally. That is not at all a matter of course these days in this fast-moving age.
I cannot put my gratitude into words.
Warm regards to the two nurses. They asked so often how I was feeling that it was almost a nuisance.
I left the hospital with very good feelings. I am doing very well, thanks to the staff for their careful work.
I wish you all, all the very best and much success for the future. Thank you once again and kind regards

I can recommend them without reservation, because I was very satisfied both with the thorough consultation and with the trusting atmosphere. The treatment took place as discussed beforehand and was also very professional. I have already lost 21 kg and feel fit as a fiddle. Many thanks to the whole team of Weight Doctors Dortmund!
Louis, 40 years oldPose®2 ENDO-SLEEVE patient in November 2020Weight Doctors Dortmund
So far I have lost 33.3 kg. The trend continues downwards, of course a little more slowly now. But that does not bother me.
Otherwise I am doing well, my GP is supporting me with this. (…) I am definitely looking forward to the rest of my life.
