Sound Familiar?
You've Tried Everything.
Nothing Has Worked.
If you're here, you're not someone who hasn't tried. You've worked hard — diets, slimming clubs, medication, injections. The problem has never been your willpower.
- 😮💨Tried every diet — lost weight, gained it all back, repeatedly
- 💊Tried weight loss medication or injections — worked while taking them, stopped when you stopped
- 😔Felt exhausted, embarrassed, and like your own body is working against you
- 🏥Worried about real health consequences — joints, blood pressure, diabetes, energy
- 🔄Stuck in the same cycle of losing and regaining, year after year
Here's what's actually happening — it's not you.
Every diet you've ever done caused your hunger hormone ghrelin to spike harder the moment you stopped. Your body was biologically fighting back. That's not weakness — that's physiology.
Gastric Sleeve surgery permanently removes the part of your stomach that produces ghrelin. The hunger that came back after every diet doesn't come back after surgery.
The Difference
60–70%
average excess weight lost — and maintained long-term
Gastric Sleeve permanently reduces your stomach size and resets the biology behind your hunger. Weight loss becomes natural, not a constant battle of willpower against your own body.

The Science Behind Lasting Results
Why the Weight
Stays Off This Time
Every other weight loss method relies on you constantly fighting your own biology. Gastric Sleeve changes the biology itself — permanently. Here's the three-layer system that keeps the weight off for good.
-
Permanent Stomach ReductionYour stomach is permanently reduced to roughly 15–20% of its original size and becomes resistant to stretching. You feel full with much smaller portions — not through willpower, but physically.
-
Ghrelin Reset — The Hunger HormoneThe fundus — the part of your stomach that produces ghrelin (the hormone that makes you hungry) — is removed during surgery. Ghrelin levels drop dramatically and stay low. This is why the hunger that returned after every diet doesn't return after surgery.
-
Lifetime Support SystemThe Auralia aftercare programme — dietitian, app, follow-up consultations, 24/7 surgeon access — exists specifically to protect your results long-term. You are never doing this alone, and your support doesn't have an expiry date.
95%
of dieters regain the weight within 5 years — because diets don't change the biology
80%+
of gastric sleeve patients maintain significant weight loss at 5 years post-surgery
2–3×
more effective at long-term weight maintenance than lifestyle intervention alone
∞
lifetime aftercare consultations included with every Auralia patient — no cut-off
The key difference vs every other option: After a diet, your body resets. After medication stops, your body resets. After Gastric Sleeve, your stomach doesn't reset — and neither does the hormonal change. The biological conditions that kept making weight loss temporary no longer apply.

Common Questions
Everything You're
Wondering About
Yes, completely. Your consultation with Dr Loy is 100% free, whether online or in-person. There is zero obligation to proceed. Many patients use it simply to get expert information and think things over — and that's absolutely fine with us.
This is the most important question — and the honest answer is: not in the same way as after a diet. Gastric Sleeve permanently reduces your stomach and permanently lowers ghrelin. The biological hunger rebound that caused regain after every diet is eliminated. The patients who maintain results long-term are those who engage with the lifetime support programme Auralia provides — which is why it's included forever, not just for a few months.
Most Auralia patients lose 6–7 stone in the first 12 months. Some have lost as much as 11–12 stone. Auralia has never had a patient who did not lose weight. Results depend on engagement with the nutrition and lifestyle programme provided.
All surgery carries risk — Dr Loy will explain these clearly and honestly in your consultation. Auralia is Ireland's first internationally accredited private hospital (ISO, CHKS, UKAS) with hospital-grade safety protocols. Every patient is also covered by surgical insurance post-operation at no extra cost.
Generally, candidates have a BMI of 35+ (or 30+ with related health conditions like type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure). The best way to know is through your free consultation — Dr Loy gives you an honest, no-pressure assessment based on your specific health history.
The all-inclusive Auralia Sleeve Care Plan starts from €297 per month, financed over up to 36 months through CU Health and HUMM. No deposit is needed to enquire. Our patient team handles all finance paperwork — just mention it when we call you.
Consultations are typically available within 1–2 weeks. Most patients have surgery scheduled within 1–2 months of their consultation, once pre-operative tests are complete. There are no public waiting lists — Auralia is a private hospital.
