Did Laluna Unique have bariatric surgery? Yes, and she later said she regretted it

On her own TikTok and Instagram she gave her followers an update on the results: „28 stycznia miną równe 2 miesiące od zabiegu. Jak widać po moich rączkach i po mnie, myślę, że jest około minus 11 kg. Startowałam z bardzo wysokiej wagi, bo po walce jeszcze 10 kg mnie złapało” — in English: “On 28 January it will be exactly two months since the procedure. As you can see from my arms and from me, I think it is about minus 11 kg. I started from a very high weight, because after the fight another 10 kg caught up with me.”

In May 2024 she returned to the subject in a much more critical tone. Fakt quoted an Instagram Stories post in which she wrote: „Jestem pod opieką innych lekarzy, zobaczymy co dalej. Nie chcę na razie za dużo wypowiadać. Jedynie co wam mogę napisać, to to, że bardzo żauję operacji bariatrycznej. To był największy błąd w moim życiu, a ja do błędów się zawsze przyznaję. Operacja bariatryczna jest dla osób bardzo otyłych i przewlekle chorych, a nie dla osób z lekką nadwagą, które chcą zbić wagę do walki lub na lato szczerze mówiąc” — in English: “I am under the care of other doctors now, we will see what happens next. I do not want to say too much for now. The only thing I can write to you is that I deeply regret the bariatric surgery. It was the biggest mistake of my life, and I always admit my mistakes. Bariatric surgery is for people who are very obese and chronically ill, not for people with slight overweight who want to lose weight for a fight or for summer, to be honest.” The same report carried the headline quote: „Klinika powinna odesłać mnie do domu!” — “The clinic should have sent me home!”

That is everything this article relies on. Laluna did not name the hospital or the surgeon in either statement, and this article does not guess at them. Where the text below explains methods, candidacy and recovery, it describes bariatric surgery in general, not her treatment.

Four months after announcing an 11 kg loss, she publicly called the operation her biggest mistake and drew a clear line: this kind of surgery is meant for people who are severely obese or have serious weight-related illness, not for people who want to drop a few kilograms quickly before a competition or a holiday. That distinction is exactly what surgeons try to establish before they agree to operate, and it is worth repeating here precisely because she said it herself, after living through the result.

Nothing in her statements describes a specific complication, and this article does not invent one. What she did say is enough on its own: bariatric surgery changes the stomach permanently, the decision carries weight long after the operation, and it is not a shortcut for mild overweight.

All of these are done laparoscopically, through a handful of small punctures rather than an open incision. None of them is reversible in the way a diet is reversible: the sleeve removes stomach tissue permanently, and the bypass variants permanently reroute the digestive tract.

• consultations with a GP, endocrinologist, cardiologist and, where relevant, a psychiatrist;
• two to four weeks of cutting down fast carbohydrates and fats before surgery;
• no smoking for at least a month beforehand.

People hoping to lose a small amount of weight quickly, for a fight, a photoshoot or a holiday, are exactly the group that screening is meant to filter out — which is the point Laluna herself ended up making in public.

Weight loss is fastest in the first months and then slows; the final result is usually assessed after a year and a half to two years.

A personal coordinator stays in touch with the patient from the first enquiry through the first year of recovery. See the bariatric surgery page for details.

City Medical Centre has no connection with Laluna Unique or her treatment. Her words are quoted here only because she spoke about her decision, and later her regret, publicly.
