Their testimonies encourage us to continue improving our services
Iñaki Obesity Surgery
"I've been on a lifelong diet, taking care of myself, and even so, I gained 115 kilos, which started to take a toll on my health. I had hypertension, pre-diabetes and needed CPAP to sleep.
After the surgery, it has changed my life and I am happy, I can't say anything else".
Beatriz Obesity Surgery
"A family friend of mine had an operation at the Clínica and, when I saw the results, I didn't think twice and went for it.
I live a totally normal life, eating small meals many times, but totally normal."
Miguel Ángel and Blanca
Obesity Surgery
"I was admitted on a Thursday. On Friday I was operated on and on Saturday after lunch I was walking out the door of the Clinic. I feel much better, I can do everything, sport, travel... without any limitations."
Mª Carmen and Juan Antonio
Bariatric Surgery
"A new life has begun for us. It's true that it's not the same, when I look at photos from the past I think that this person is not me.
From time to time you have to look at them so as not to be tempted again and think, it wasn't that bad. Yes, it was a big deal and those photos prove it."
Rafael
Obesity surgery
"Physically the change is incredible. The only solution I had was the operation to solve the problem.
Friends tell me, you look happy again. Asking for help is necessary because it is unlikely that you will get out of a slump on your own."
