Lasting weight loss with two small magnets. Nothing is cut away.
The magnets make a short cut inside your gut, so you feel full on less food and the weight stays off. It's done once, while you're asleep, and you're home the next day.
That's the whole device. Small enough to swallow with a glass of water.
How MagDI™ Works
-
While you're asleep
That morning you swallow one magnet with a glass of water. While you're asleep, Dr Loy places the other on the far side of the gut wall, and the two click together, like magnets through a sheet of paper.
-
Over two to three weeks
Where the magnets press the two walls together, your body joins them and opens a small new doorway for food. The magnets then let go and leave your body naturally. You won't feel it.
-
From then on
Some of your food takes the short cut and reaches the part of your gut that tells your brain "I'm full" much sooner. You feel full faster, and smaller meals are enough.
Many people lose up to 70% of their extra weight in the first 12 months. Dr Loy will tell you what's realistic for you at your free assessment.

“…I felt it was the first time in my life I was genuinely being listened to and not just blamed or judged for being overweight.”

Why This Lasts When The Others Didn't
Diets
You lose weight, then your body fights back with more hunger, and it creeps back.
Weight loss medication
It works while you take it. Stop, and the hunger comes back. Many people also find the side effects, and the cost every month, hard to keep up for years.
Operations that remove or staple part of your stomach
They last, but it's weeks of recovery, and what's taken away can't be put back.
MagDI™
Done once, home the next day. Your body makes its own “I'm full” signal sooner, and nothing is removed.
Worried About An Operation? That's Normal.
Most people who call us felt the same. Here's what they asked.
- “It's a big operation and I'd be out for weeks.”
- It isn't. About an hour asleep, home the next morning, back at a desk in one to two weeks.
- “Something could go wrong.”
- Every procedure carries some risk, and Dr Loy explains yours honestly. You're in an accredited hospital with a full team, before and after.
- “It's forever.”
- Nothing is removed. Your gut stays whole, so the new path can be closed again if it's ever needed.
- “I'm already on weight loss medication.”
- Then you already know what works for you and what doesn't. Dr Loy talks you through your options, honestly.
- “I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.”
- That's often why people come to us. Both often ease as the weight comes off.
- “I'll be judged.”
- Not here. You'll be listened to, not lectured.
Whatever is on your mind, ask it at your free assessment. That's what it's for.
