Joey gained an optimistic outlook on his health and years ahead with ESG

I have struggled with weight loss my entire life. Although I had some success in my twenties, it was mostly due to fad diets that didn’t last or were too difficult to maintain.

Now in my late forties, I thought I had found the answer with injectable GLP-1 medications. I couldn’t be more wrong. The medications were often challenging 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. Overall, 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 conducting some online research, I came across the Bariendo site, and from that moment, my life changed forever. From the initial call to the Bariendo team to my consultation with the doctor and post-recovery care, the Bariendo team was absolutely extraordinary. The level of care, compassion, and support this team has provided has exceeded all expectations. The procedure was virtually painless, and the program was relatively easy to follow.

Since my procedure on June 30, 2025, I have lost 43 pounds as of August 24, 2025. (from 304 pounds to 261 pounds and counting) I have also gained…gained more energy, gained incredible sleep (goodbye 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 ESG 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!
