Tell us in your own words how your weight has affected your life: As far back as I can remember I was always overweight. My sister was always super tiny and was able to have the cute clothes and go on rides at amusement parks and do everything that I couldn’t. I always felt left behind or alone because everyone around me was able to do more than I was.
Tell us how surgery, balloon, or medication has helped you get control of your weight issues: Surgery has been a major tool in my weight loss journey. It is not a fix all! It has helped me to realize I am capable of taking back my health and being successful at it.

I could not of picked a better physician or place. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone! No matter what you are thinking about doing.
