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.

Your BMI came back in the 30 to 35 range. And yes, that's below the typical threshold. But here's something most people don't know: patients with Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea qualify for surgery at a lower BMI all the time. It happens more than you'd think.

Dr. El Djouzi offers a free 10-minute phone call for exactly this situation. You talk to someone on his team, you describe what's going on with your health, and you get a straight answer. No charge. No pressure. Just clarity.

Someone from Dr. El Djouzi's team will get back to you to confirm. Usually within the hour.

Honestly, surgery isn't the right call for you right now.

Bariatric surgery requires a BMI of at least 30, with qualifying medical conditions. Your numbers aren't there yet, and Dr. El Djouzi wouldn't be doing you any favors by pretending otherwise.

But that doesn't mean there's nothing to talk about. If your situation changes, or you want to understand what options exist today, his team is a text away.

Dr. El Djouzi primarily sees patients from Illinois and the surrounding states.

That said, it's worth a quick conversation. Some patients have traveled specifically to see him, and depending on where you are, a virtual consultation might work. Text us and we'll figure out what makes sense.
