I feel 20 years younger and stronger *

  • Name: Melonie
  • Age: 45
  • Surgery: Gastric Sleeve
  • Surgery date: September 12th, 2016
  • Testimonial date: May 26th, 2017
  • Surgeon: Dr. Mario Almanza
I am now 8 months post surgery and feel like I am finally the person on the outside that I was always meant to be. I have lost 89 pounds so far and continue to surprise myself. My energy is over and above anything I could have ever imagined. People that know me say I am glowing all the time and I think that in it self speaks volumes. My only regret is being so afraid that I didn't do it sooner.

My advice seek out people who have had surgery and talk to them openly.
