What Our Patients Are Saying
Weight Loss Surgery Patient Stories
“(Before weight loss surgery) I was very overweight, in fact at my heaviest I was 390 lbs. I had back problems, high blood pressure, and was pre-diabetic. My life was a walking time bomb.
I was on all kinds of medication that I wanted to get off of. Since the procedure, I’m medication-free. I’ve lost 200 lbs and am active, doing things. I have a new life. I’m doing things with my family and not making excuses because I’m not overweight. It’s a lifestyle change, not a diet – it’s much easier.
I would definitely recommend this facility to everyone. They will give you the opportunity to have a better life. Results will be incredible.”
