  • Name: Mersades

  • Surgeon: Dr. Marcelo Hernandez
I was embarrassed to have started at my weight (235), for me this was devastating. It was the highest weight I'd ever been in my life. I started this journey and had surgery at 214. Since surgery my confidence has resurfaced and skyrocketed. My only regret about the surgery is not having it sooner. My quality of life has changed. I am able to enjoy my daughter and have enough energy to keep up with her. (She's now 3.) This surgery is something that I am a total advocate for. I try to teach people that it is a tool that with enough desire can help anyone reach their goals.
