Gastric Bypass Surgery Pictures

My name is Liz and I am a sixty-one year old woman who is excited about my life and all that is to come in the future. This has not always been the case, as the last sixteen months have brought about many changes. I believe we are all on a journey and our lives reflect the sum of all our many experiences. I first heard about Dr. Quebbemann and his practice two years ago from my grown daughter, who against my advice, had elected to undergo gastric bypass surgery in July of 2006. I was a mother...

Jennifer's weight gain accumulated later in life, after college. By her late 20s, she carried 269 pounds on her 5'4" frame. She rarely exercised and found that over time, even climbing the stairs was difficult. The weight also interfered with her sleep habits, causing sleep apnea. Even worse than these physical limitations, she says, was the treatment she received by total strangers.

I am a new person thank you so much Dr. Anez.

Gastric Bypass Weight Loss. Bobbie Solomon loves her life, especially because she never dreamed she would get it back. Since her weight-loss surgery, she has lost 209 pounds in 24 months and has returned to the sport she loves-springboard diving-as both a competitor and a coach.

Gastric Bypass Weight Loss. I am writing to let you know of my life changing experience with bariatric surgery. My primary doctor was treating me for chronic asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and spinal problems. I could not bend down to tie my shoes or walk a short distance. I felt sick all the time. I had gastric bypass in 2005 with Dr. Bass. He has become my guardian angel. Everyone in Dr Bass's office has been wonderful and supportive. The nurses and staff at Memorial...

Open Gastric Bypass

I have always been the chubby girl, the sweet spirit. Throughout my life I have tried multiple kinds of weight loss programs. I had my surgery on January 17, 2005. I quickly lost 96 lbs in five months. I suddenly discovered a new person that I decided I liked. She was thinner, she was confident, she was kind and accepting, and she was beautiful. And I was her! Weight is still a battle, but at least now I have a handle on it. I know I can conquer the battle and I will.

I suffered from over half of the co-morbidities related to obesity including; high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, acid reflux and heart disease. The first time I met with Dr. Richards, it was all I could do to get from the parking lot to the doctor's office. If it hadnt been for Dr. Richards and her confidence in her ability to do this, I dont think I would have ever found a surgeon to do it. I now go by the simple motto: I eat to live, instead of living to eat.
