Bariatric Surgery in Chicago's West Suburbs, From a Dual Board-Certified Surgeon Who Listens.

Dr. El Djouzi, Dual Board-Certified Bariatric Surgeon

Surgery? Shots? Pills? Ask around and you'll notice something: every doctor recommends the one thing they happen to sell. The med spa sells shots. The surgeon sells surgery. Nobody is looking at the whole board.

Dr. El Djouzi is. Fellowship-trained bariatric surgeon, board-certified in obesity medicine, 2,400+ operations, and every shot and pill in the toolbox too. He isn't picking between a hammer and a nail. He's picking what works for you.

So take your ten free minutes with him on video this week and ask one question: what would actually work for me? He has every option to offer, which means he has nothing to push.

Meet Your Weight Loss Surgeon

Sofiane El Djouzi, MD, FACS, FASMBS

Listen. Most surgeons will spend 8 minutes with you, hand you a brochure, and send you to a coordinator. Dr. El Djouzi is not most surgeons.

He sits down with you. He reads your file before you walk in. He asks the questions nobody else asked. And when you leave that consultation, you know exactly what your options are, what the right path is for your specific situation, and what happens next. His patients keep saying the same thing: "I finally feel like someone actually listened to me." That's not a marketing line. That's what they write in their reviews, unprompted, over and over again. That's why the first conversation is with him, not a coordinator.

Five questions. Thirty seconds. Then you pick a time, and you're face to face with Dr. El Djouzi, your numbers already in front of him. Ask him the thing you've been wondering for two years. Ask about insurance, about recovery, about whether the sleeve or bypass is right for someone like you. Ten minutes, and you'll know more than most people learn in a year of Googling. If surgery isn't the answer for you, he'll say so.

Your situation may need a closer review.

Based on the height and weight you entered, your BMI is , below 35. That means you may not meet the usual criteria for bariatric surgery on BMI alone. Some people with a BMI below 35 are still considered when certain metabolic or obesity-related medical conditions are present, and Dr. El Djouzi's practice also offers medical weight-loss programs for exactly this range.

Text our team so we can learn more about your situation and help you understand the appropriate next step.
