  • Surgeon: Dr. Marcelo Hernandez
I started out great after my surgery, after the first year, I was down 75 lbs, I loved life, the surgery made losing weight so easy, I recommend the procedure to all who needed help losing weight, but after the first year, my daughter started having drug issues and I ended up with her 3 kids! This sent me into a depression, worrying about my daughter and angry that my life had changed, and now I'm up 25lbs, but last week I ask for help from the bariatric group on facebook and the response from them was so amazing, they told me I could reset my pouch and so I'm am working on doing that this week, back to the beginning, liquid diet. Soft foods, hopefully I can get my weight back on track.
