“I know my patients are up at 2am searching for answers — scared, overwhelmed, not sure who to trust. I built this so they'd find honest ones.”

— Dr. Scott Gmora, Bariatric Surgeon & Gastric Sleeve Patient

Patient-Only Access

A Private Community of Nearly 3,000 Patients

When you become a Sleeve Clinic patient, you get access to our private Facebook community — a space where thousands of real patients share their wins, ask questions, post meal ideas, and support each other through every stage of the journey.

This isn't a public forum. It's a closed group, moderated by our clinical team, exclusively for patients who've spoken with a program advisor.

6 months post-op today! Down 72 lbs and just ran my first 5K. Never in a million years did I think this would be me. Thank you to everyone here who kept me going during the stall at month 3.
