"After surgery I feel this is the best decision of my life." —Trinette

Before surgery I struggled with weight loss due to hip and knee pain. I was prediabetes and could not find a solution to lose weight. A good friend of mine had Bariatric Surgery 7-8 years ago and was very successful and she motivated me. All the staff was friendly and the diet was easy to follow.

After surgery I feel this is the best decision of my life. I am so happy I had the surgery. I can cross my legs now and go up the stairs with more energy. I no longer have any knee pain when I walk. I would recommend anyone trying to lose weight to have Bariatric Surgery.
