- Name: Lisa Joyce
- Age: 46
- Surgery: Gastric Sleeve and Gallbladder Removal Add On
- Surgery date: May 25th, 2015
- Testimonial date: March 20th, 2016
- Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
I chose the gastric sleeve and have not regretted my decision once. I have my life back and it is amazing to be hopeful about life after losing hope so many years ago; the surgery was the tool that helped me help myself. After trying everything prior to surgery I honestly thought I would not live another year due to my excessive weight and health issues. My surgery changed everything - I have control again and I have hope and the reassurance that I will continue to have an amazing life. The surgery exceeded all of my expectations and I am very grateful for it.
If it helps - I am 5 ft 6 inches tall and I weighed 280 lbs. on my surgery date. I had lost 12 lbs. from the pre-op instructions and weighed the 280 lbs. on my surgery day (see pic) w/ Dr. Almanza. The other picture was taken 3/19/2016 and I weigh 183 lbs.
