Global pop icon Mariah Carey has long been the subject of media scrutiny regarding her body image. In 2017, it was widely reported that Carey had undergone gastric sleeve surgery, although she has never publicly confirmed the procedure. Despite the lack of confirmation, Mariah's noticeable weight loss in recent years, coupled with statements from her close circle, suggest that the surgery played a role. Carey, a well-known figure in pop culture, took steps to embrace her body and has inspired many by sharing her journey.

Dr. HE Clinic Opinion
At Dr. HE Clinic, our top priority in obesity surgery and weight loss procedures is always the safety, health, and long-term success of our patients. Each method — gastric balloon, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass — is suitable for different patient groups, and the decision-making process must always involve an individualized assessment.
Our Approach
We conduct a thorough pre-assessment for each patient. Medical history, body mass index (BMI), existing health conditions, and lifestyle habits are carefully evaluated to create a personalized treatment plan.
We work with a multidisciplinary approach: our team consists of a bariatric surgeon, anesthesiologist, dietitian, psychologist, and patient coordinator, all of whom provide support throughout every stage of the process.
Procedure Selection
Gastric Balloon: A non-surgical, temporary yet effective method. It is suitable for patients with lower BMI who can commit to lifestyle changes.
Sleeve Gastrectomy: A permanent surgical procedure in which a large portion of the stomach is removed, reducing food intake and helping control appetite. Often preferred for patients with moderate to high BMI.
Gastric Bypass: A more complex operation, but highly effective for both weight loss and the management of metabolic diseases such as diabetes. It requires long-term follow-up and nutritional supplementation.
Our Goal
Regardless of the chosen method, our aim is not only for our patients to lose weight but also to help them adopt a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle. That is why post-operative follow-up, dietitian support, and motivation are essential parts of the process.
At Dr. HE Clinic, we provide our patients with transparent information, clearly explain potential risks, and design the safest and most appropriate treatment plan tailored to their needs.
