Everyone in the office is amazing, supportive, and understanding. My weight loss journey has been absolutely AMAZING! I started this journey at 219.5 pounds, on two blood pressure meds, borderline diabetic, and everything hurt. I had surgery in June of 2022 and on surgery day I weighed in at 198. My last doctor’s appointment with my primary care physician in October of 2022 I weighed in at 156. I’m down from a size 18 to a size 10, no more blood pressure meds, no longer a borderline diabetic, and I can walk without pain! I’m healthier, happier, and have nothing but thanks to this amazing team!All I can say is the decision I made to have gastric sleeve was THE BEST decision I have ever made for myself, and I have the team in this office to thank. If you’re considering weight loss surgery, do not go anywhere else!
