So here at New Leaf, we can help you not only with reducing your portion sizes by your surgical procedure but also provide you with any support you might need to recover from food addiction and 'head issues'; adding the missing piece to the jigsaw. This unique solution gives you the very best chance of success in your journey to weight loss, health and happiness. You can then go on and have body sculpting to complete the look.
In a nutshell, New Leaf Weight Loss & Cosmetic Surgery offers the perfect solution to help you lose weight by providing you with:
All of that alongside help and support from people who have been where you are and understand the issues that surround obesity, have had the surgery themselves with the same surgeon and at the same hospital. We really do understand and can help and support you every step of the way.
Please get in touch and let us help you get a New Life with New Leaf.
I stumbled across New leaf and I am so glad I did. Becky was great and I was able to make an informed decision on my surgery after being added to the private support group on Facebook. My whole experience was positive. Dr Hruby was wonderful and I felt that I was in safe hands. The hospital was so clean and the nurses friendly. I was very impressed with the cost of my gastric sleeve surgery and have no regrets. Would do it all again tomorrow.

I chose NewLeaf Prague on excellent recommendation , the price was very good value for the money and all support given. The hospital was extremely clean and I would recommend it to anyone that is struggling with obesity as I did ……. Thank you 🙏
Very honest review. I had a mixed experience at new leaf weight loss surgery. My sister and I booked through Amanda to both have a sleeve in March 2019. Everything was great Amanda was very good we were not worried, flew out arrived at the hospital had tests etc no problems very excited to have the operation. On my way to the theatre, a lovely nurse was holding my hand! I got into theatre and Dr H appeared and went through the surgery and then I went to sleep but then the good happy experience changed. I woke up in recovery flat on my back and it felt like I couldn’t break I was having a panic attack and no one came to help me .. I was screaming and shouting and trying to pull myself up. A nurse did finally come over and told me to be quiet and go back to sleep.. so I did and I could feel my breathing slowing down and lots of beeping from the monitors behind my bed .. to which I was repeatedly slapped around the face and asked to wake up! I was then pushed back to my hospital room and I mentioned I was in so much pain ( just mumbling to myself ) and one of the nurses said, of course, you are it’s not cosmetic surgery. I was shocked that someone who’s meant to care for people would be so rude and unprofessional. I got back to my room and slept for what felt like a whole day. I would wake up and ask for pain relief to what I go most of the nurses were lovely and very caring and helpful, some would tut at me or my sister - no gloves, no bathroom lock and they will just walk in when you're on the toilet, My hand cannula had leaked several times with blood going up the drip pipe. Asked for a new one several time and they only cleaned it once.. on last day me and my sister were waiting very excited to go home we were getting our dressing changed and the nurse put a large cotton bud into the iodine and cleaned me up then went to my sister with the same cotton bud to clean hers .. I stopped her and said no use a fresh cotton bud to which is said it’s a disinfectant it’s safe! Now I’m not sure I was just so ready for home by this time!! Now I came here to a different country for surgery so maybe this is how they do it, I was going to lay an expression of grief but I decided not to as I got the cheap surgery and has completely changed my life 1 year later. I have lost 8 stone and live a much happier life completely felt safe in Dr H hands.
I was thrilled with the results and the care that was and had been taken of me both prior to and since my surgery in March 2014. The emphasis was always on health and making sure that I understood the procedure. It was a great experience beginning to end. I wish some of our UK hospitals would take a leaf out of the way these guys operate. The price was €4710, because I had had a band previously. I would and have recommended these wonderful people to others.
excellent care and an excellent result. I simply cannot fault New Leaf and Dr. Hruby. I am on my way to a healthy and slim future.
I am 14 months out from having a "gastric plication" or "wrap" and I could not be happier with the service I have received, both before during and continuing care afterwards through a fantastic support group. I would hand on heart recommend Dr Hruby to anyone considering weight loss surgery abroad.
Amazing experience. First class service. Highly recommend Dr Hruby ! I had my gastric sleeve resection in February 2015 and currently at 8 stone loss. BMW was 49.7, now 34.6. I have my life back. Thanks New Leaf. Very clean and treated like a VIP. Picked up from the airport and looked after till the minute I was back on the aeroplane heading home. Google translate was a godsend as not all nurses speak fluent English but I travelled alone and never once was worried about anything.
Over 4 months ago I checked into the hospital for a week little did I know it would change my life.I am 5 stone down and still losing I cannot recommend New Leaf enough they gave me my life back I bought a coat in Primark which I never did before and they were with me the whole way through

I had a gastric bypass on June 25th, 2024. I met with Dr. Hruby the day before; had a lot of tests done and questions about prior surgeries. I felt very well taken care of at the hospital; the nurses were amazing and very patient even when we struggled through language barriers! Dr. Hruby is one of the nicest doctors I’ve ever met; very approachable and knowledgeable and willing to take his time and answer questions. I never felt rushed with anything. In the U.S. they pretty much dismiss you the day after surgery; I stayed in the hospital until the Sunday after my surgery, that’s 5 days to recover and be very well looked after! I absolutely loved that. I will gladly recommend this clinic. The experience was outstanding.
