Everself (formerly Bariendo) Reviews 97

Everself has been a life-changer for me. Three months post-ESG procedure - I’ve lost 45 pounds and am not done, yet. A big thanks to the whole team for being so supportive!

Everyone with Everself that I have come in contact with has been professional and caring! My patient liaison, Lianna, is quick to respond and even when I needed to reschedule my procedure 2 days prior to the originally scheduled date due to a death in my immediate family, she was so understanding and even reached out to me while I was out of town for the funeral to be sure that I didn’t need anything. When I eventually was able to have my procedure, everyone at the facility worked efficiently and diligently to ensure all of my needs were met! My discharge nurse was apparently my favorite (I don’t remember her but my husband told me all about it! 😂) . Although I am in the beginning stages of my post procedure journey, the weight is coming off and I already had my first stall but Lianna arranged for me to meet with my dietitian early than orginally planned and I am back to being a happy “loser”. I cannot say enough good things about Everself and their staff!!! The support has been phenomenal from day one!

Best decision I made, I feel great no restrictions from day 1. I am learning the right relationship with food and it is wonderful!!

I used Ozempic for 2 years. Ended up hospitalized with gastroenteritis for 4 days. Once I stopped Ozempic, I became larger than previously. Everself has been a blessing. From the start, ALL have been receptive and supportive. I have lost 48 pounds in just over 5 months. I have suggested to others that they consider, including my daughter. VERY pleased!

I am so happy that I found Bariando. Dr McGowan and staff has been absolutely amazing. I am currently eight weeks post-op I feel better than I felt in years. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has struggled with their weight and self-confidence. The support that I have received from the staff is so wonderful. From the care team to my nutritionist Darius.

This is one of the best decisions I have made. When you finally decide to take a step to lose the weight, make sure you speak to the people at Everself. The first call to every call since, I knew I made the right decision. Do the research, check with other places and then see that Everself is the best place. I will never regret doing this.

The best decision I could have made. I'm almost a year old since my ESG procedure, and it's been a complete life-changer. 100% recommended. I started out weighing 197 lbs. and prediabetic; a year later I weigh 133 lbs., and most importantly, I regained my health.

I would definitely recommend Everself Charleston. Dr Zaid Rana performed my ESG procedure on 2/13/26. The staff was friendly, caring and professional. They put me at ease. I never felt really bad, even right after surgery. I just had a feeling of pressure around my stomach area. I felt tired for a few days but was soon back to normal. It's easy to follow the plan. I lost 14 lbs in the first 2 weeks and I am continuing to lose weight.

I had the gastric ballon procedure. Words cannot describe their care for their patients. They have hold my hand through this process and always ready to help.

This whole experience so far has been absolutely incredible. They walk you through everything before and after. I am not 3 weeks post and they have followed up with me, I even had sent them a text at 8pm due to a question and they answered me within 2 minutes. Im looking forward to continuing this journey with them and support system. I couldn’t recommend them enough. The price is so reasonable especially with all the care before and after.

I had my Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG) procedure with Everself (they were Bariendo at the time) in the Greater Miami area, and it was the best decision I've ever made for my health.
From the first consultation, the doctors and entire team at the surgery center were professional, compassionate, and incredibly supportive. They made me feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. The procedure itself was minimally invasive—no incisions, done endoscopically—and my recovery was smooth and quick. I felt great within 2 days, with minimal discomfort and no major issues post procedure.
My doctor explained it perfectly: "I'm giving you a tool, but it's up to you to use it." That mindset clicked for me. The ESG reduced my stomach size - football to banana - helping me feel full sooner, control portions, and curb cravings naturally. Combined with the habit changes I've made (better eating patterns, more mindful choices), I've lost 40 pounds in just 5 months—and the results keep building. My energy is up, I feel stronger, and my overall well-being has improved dramatically.
The cost was doable for me, and they offered a flexible payment plan that made it accessible without financial stress. That support was huge in committing to this journey.
If you're considering non-surgical weight loss like ESG and are ready to use the "tool" effectively, I highly recommend Everself in Miami. The expertise, care, and results speak for themselves. Thank you to the team—I'm so grateful and excited for the future!

I had my balloon surgery done on April 18, 2025 after two years of asking questions of checking prices I even thought about going to Tijuana Mexico to get it done. However, the person I spoke to Sebastian never rushed me. Never pressured me always answered my questions as if it was a very first time I spoke to him . It’s so happened that there was a spot available a month later from when we spoke and I booked it I decided to go with this particular place because it had a 12 month dietician /nutritional program. It was the best decision I made. There are other places that do not give you this 12 month nutritional program or they added on as a VIP and you can pay extra however, Bariendo would not sell me. The surgery went on this program. I cannot tell you how much this program has helped me how much Lauren has helped me through these 12 months what I have learned about eating about the correct proteins everything this woman is amazing super patient super kind super knowledgeable.
Always there for you. I lost a total of 65 pounds. This is unheard of with a balloon. I also had a nurse practitioner Erica helping me also with any supplements that I needed any advice. Anything after I took off my balloon I lost eight more pounds. I’m currently at 181 from 245 pounds. My life has completely changed. I have to stop writing or else I’ll take over the entire page. Lol my only regret not having done this sooner.

I’ve really enjoyed my experience with Everself (formerly Bariendo). The entire staff and actual procedure and post op experience has been 5 star and extremely supportive. I’m learning new things weekly and changing my lifestyle bit by bit. I’m grateful for this tool and the stellar experience Dr. McGowan and all the team are providing me. From dietician, to health coach, to support groups. 5 star. Thank you for being part of this beautiful change in my life.

When I started this journey, I weighed 250 pounds, was considered morbidly obese, and had been diagnosed as prediabetic. I also had high blood pressure, fatty liver, and severe sleep apnea. I was in constant pain and had a very hard time walking or keeping up with my family. I felt discouraged, uncomfortable in my own body, and deeply worried about my long-term health. GLP-1 medication was not an option for me because it caused me to get pancreatitis, and I did not want to undergo an invasive, complicated surgical procedure. After researching my options, I knew this procedure was the right fit for me. From my very first consultation, the team at Everself treated me with compassion, professionalism, and respect. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything, answer all of my questions, and make sure I felt confident and informed every step of the way.

The procedure itself went smoothly, and the support I received before and after was exceptional. The medical staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and always available when I had concerns. They provided clear guidance on nutrition, portion control, and lifestyle changes, which helped me build healthier habits and stay accountable. I would tell any friend considering this that it is an incredible tool to help you achieve your weight loss goals — but it is still a tool. You have to put in the hard work by watching what you eat, measuring your food, and committing to exercise. It is also a lifelong commitment to changing your habits and prioritizing your health. Everself gave me the structure and support I needed to succeed.

In just close to five months, I have lost 52 pounds and now weigh 198 pounds. I am no longer prediabetic, and my high blood pressure, fatty liver, and severe sleep apnea have all improved. I am hiking and walking every day, and I have gotten my stamina and mobility back. I can now keep up with my family without pain, and I feel stronger and more confident than I have in years. Choosing Everself was one of the best decisions I have ever made for my health, and I am incredibly grateful to the entire team for helping me reclaim my life.

Everself has truly been amazing. From the first consultation through the procedure and all the follow up care, every member of the team has be so helpful and supportive. I am now 6 months post procedure and so glad I made the decision to have ESG. I am healthier and stronger than I’ve been in years and I know I would not be here without the help of the Everself team.

Bariendo is wonderful. I had the ESG procedure on 12/2/25 and as of today 01/16/26 I have lost 41.5 lbs. The staff was all great. The dr was wonderful. The facility is clean and easy to get to.

Overall 10/10!

had the esg done and I honestly feel no pain at all . It's like nothing was done except two weeks after surgery I'm down 20lbs. Doctor mcgowen was amazing even gave his cell phone if we needed it. The ladies in the office were on top of this sending reminders to take medication and checking to see how I'm doing. Overall I recommend to anyone. Wonderful clean clinic also. Thank you all again. Can't wait to see the end results.

Bariendo was amazing from the very beginning! From the initial inquiry to
the surgical center to the ongoing support, each specialist has been tremendous!

I did an ESG (Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty) 6 months ago with Bariendo in Tampa (I lost close to 50lbs so far). The procedure is done in less than an hour and recovery takes a few days only (tip: do it on a Friday!). Bariendo’s clinical team is very professional and supportive, they have great weekly and then monthly follow-up zoom-meetings with the NPs and dietitians (shoutout to Lauren Kort!). ESG is a great tool to help you lose weight, but to be successful you’ll need to do your part by following consistently the diet and exercise plan laid out by Bariendo’s team. I am glad I did an ESG and I highly recommend Bariendo Tampa!

Bariendo is fantastic! I have been more than happy with my experience, progress, and care! They have been available anytime I had a question. So far I am 2 month post procedure and down 47 pounds. I have more energy and actually feel like getting out and doing things!
