Bariatric Surgery Success Stories

Following are the bariatric surgery success stories of some of our patients. They faced many of the same issues, concerns and fears that you may be dealing with. Their success is not the fact that they had weight loss surgery. The success is that they recognized they had a choice and acted on it. Their stories bring to life the theme on this page: New Hope. New Confidence. New Life.

Pam's Story

To me this journey has always been about more than just losing weight. Being skinny was never the goal. Being healthy and having the opportunity to live a longer, happier life has been my main focus. I have set many other “life goals” that have nothing to do with the number on a scale or how many miles I can walk or what size jeans I can fit into.

Mike's Story

“I had sleep apnea, severe depression, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. My doctor told me if I didn’t change my lifestyle, I would be dead in two years,” says Mike. “I had gastric bypass surgery on December 4, 2006, and it’s the best decision I ever made. Every day is a blessing.”

Nancy's Story

“Before the surgery, I could barely walk from the car to my house. Today, I can walk 3 miles, and I really enjoy getting out and exercising and meeting people. Before the surgery, I was always afraid I was going to fall. Today, I look forward to my future, which includes retirement, dancing and travel – something I never thought I could do before the surgery.”
