Karla

Gastric bypass, -127 lbs.

"I literally lost half of me."

 

Warren

Gastric bypass

"I have a brighter outlook on life. My blood pressure is normal, I no longer have sleep apnea, I can walk without huffing and puffing. It really just changes everything."

 

Terri

Gastric sleeve

"After losing all that weight, I have this new confidence."

 

Ronnie

Gastric sleeve

"Before surgery, just walking through Walmart was a challenge. If I had to do it one hundred times over again, I would."

 

Ty

Gastric sleeve

"Within six weeks of having surgery, I no longer had sleep apnea or type 2 diabetes. I feel like I hit the reset button on life."

 

Jim

Gastric bypass

"Bariatric surgery changed my life. I now live an active lifestyle that includes running and playing softball, which is something I could never imagine doing before surgery."

 

Joyce

Gastric bypass

"I was on a lot of medication due to cirrhosis of the liver, back pain and hardening of the heart. Now I'm just on thyroid medication and everything just seems easier."

 

Mike

Gastric bypass

"I was taking 15 pills a day plus insulin, and now my medications are cut in half and I no longer need insulin. This alone saves me at least $1,000 a month on medication."
