Slow process (08/16/2012)
I was lucky and had been warned by my brother who had been there the month before to have the surgery as to what to expect, otherwise I think I might have backed out of the entire thing. Now that I see how easy it was I would like to go back and have some work done on my arms. If you are planning on... * read more.

It IS Life-changing...for the better! (08/16/2012)
Hi, I'm Darlene. I have always been a prisoner to my weight issues. Every fad diet out there had to be tried...the egg diet, the cabbage soup diet, atkins, weight watchers, blah, blah, blah. Yes, I'd lose...and then I'd gain and gain. At my surgery date, I was the heaviest I had ever been - 240 ... * read more.

3 months post op and the weight is just melting away, it was the best decision I made this year. (08/16/2012)
I have to say I was skeptical to be traveling to an area of the world that I did not even speak the language. I read many of the testimonials from those who had been to the clinic, but there was one you-tube experience that alleviated my concerns the most I am going to paste it here it may help you... * read more.
Life after bariatric surgery! (08/16/2012)
I don't even know where to begin. I was in bad health and almost 75 pounds overweight with hypertension, high cholesterol and borderline diabetes. I tried every diet under the sun without much success; I soon regained the weight I lost and then some. I made the decision to have the gastric surgery a... * read more.
I couldn't do it alone (08/16/2012)
I've struggled with my weight my whole life. They call it the weight loss battle, because it is like a fight that never ends. Even when I was successful at weight loss and reached some of my goals; I never reached all of them and I could not maintain my success long-term. It was just heart breaki... * read more.
I'd Do It All Over Again! (08/16/2012)
This was a wonderful decision for me. It has given me the help I need to lose weight I have been carrying for over 30 years. It is not a "quick fix", and requires sensible diet choices as well as mild to moderate exercise. I personally walk and occasionally swim. I have lost 45 pounds in 3 month... * read more.
