"I am a mother of two with two young grandchildren. I realized that in order to see my grandchildren grow up, I needed to make lifestyle changes. With the support of one-on-one sessions with my doctors, I decided that gastric sleeve surgery was the best solution for me."
"I received exceptional support from my family, doctors, and the weight-loss support group. The support group helped me understand the entire process before and after the procedure and has helped me acclimate to the lifestyle changes. Three years ago, I would have laughed at the idea of participating in a 5k, but I am now able to walk and run in each race! My advice for someone contemplating weight-loss surgery is, 'What are you waiting for?'"

“I worked as an account manager in a highway trucking business for 35 years and decided to embark on this weight-loss journey with my wife, Cheryl. After speaking with my doctor, I decided that gastric sleeve surgery was the best option for helping me achieve my goals, especially that of playing tennis again!”
“The guidance I received from my doctors and dietitians has helped me successfully lose and keep off my weight by changing my eating habits through specific diet and support plans. I regularly attend the weight-loss support group, which has made a big difference in my life. It’s an amazing support system. Everyone truly cares for each other and we are able to openly share our journeys and struggles. After suffering from sleep apnea and diabetes for 12 years, I am happy to say I am now free from both. I am also working on my backhand swing on the tennis court!”
