Feeling nervous?

Worried About An Operation? That's Normal.

Maybe you've tried every diet going. Maybe you're tired of feeling judged. Maybe the thought of an operation scares you. You're not alone, and it's not your fault.

  • “It's a big operation.”

    It takes about an hour to an hour and a half, with one night's stay. Nothing is cut away.

  • “I'd be out of action for weeks.”

    Most people are back at a desk job within one to two weeks.

  • “Something could go wrong.”

    You're in Ireland's first internationally accredited private hospital, with 40,000+ patients over 25 years. MagDI™ has been used since 2021 and is authorised in the US, Canada and Europe.

  • “It's forever.”

    Your gut is kept whole, so the new path can be closed again if it's ever needed.

Whatever is on your mind, ask it on your free call. That's what it's for.

In plain words

How MagDI™ Works

  1. Illustration of the digestive system, with the two small magnets meeting between two sections of the gut

    While you're asleep

    Dr Loy places two small magnets in your gut. They hold two sections gently together.

  2. Illustration of the magnets, still joined together, moving on through the intestine after the new path has formed

    Over two to three weeks

    Your body forms a short new path for food between them. The magnets then pass out naturally.

  3. Illustration of food, shown in yellow, taking the shorter route through the new path

    From then on

    Part of what you eat takes the shorter route. Your hunger falls, and smaller meals feel like enough.

The difference

Why This Lasts When The Others Didn't

  • Diets

    You lose weight, then your body fights back with more hunger, and it creeps back.

  • Weight loss medication

    It can work well, but only for as long as you keep taking it.

  • A big operation

    It lasts, but it's a longer recovery and part of you is removed.

  • MagDI™

    Done once. It changes your body's own hunger signals, and nothing is removed.

More energy for the people you love. Clothes you enjoy wearing. Being in the photos. Feeling like yourself again.
