The big worry

Put Off By The Thought Of A Big Operation?

Most people who ask us are. Here's what's different with MagDI™.

  • “It's a big operation.”

    It takes about an hour to an hour and a half, with one night's stay.

  • “I'd be out of action for weeks.”

    Most people are back at a desk job within one to two weeks.

  • “Something could go wrong.”

    Auralia has looked after 40,000+ patients over 25 years. MagDI™ has been used since 2021 and is authorised in the US, Canada and Europe.

  • “It's forever.”

    Your gut is kept whole, so the new path can be closed again if it's ever needed.

Whatever is on your mind, ask it on your free call. That's what it's for.

The difference

Why This Lasts When The Others Didn't

  • Diets

    Depend on willpower, and hunger wins in the end.

  • Weight loss medication

    Helps while you take it. The hunger tends to come back when you stop.

  • A big operation

    Lasts, but it's a longer recovery and part of you is removed.

  • MagDI™

    One short procedure. Your hunger changes for good, and nothing is removed.

Food normally takes a long route through the gut. MagDI makes a new shortcut, and part of your food takes it. Food Stomach Usual route New shortcut

How it works, in one picture

The two magnets make a short new path for part of your food. That changes the hormones that control your hunger.

  • Smaller meals feel like enough.
  • It stays that way, so you're not relying on willpower.
  • The magnets pass out naturally within two to three weeks. Nothing is left behind.

More energy, clothes you love, keeping up with the kids, and feeling like yourself again.
