Gastric Bypass: Stories

We Did It Together - So We Would BOTH Be Healthy!!

  • Worth It
  • Cost: $6,000
  • Sacramento, CA

We were married 28 years ago - and at that time...

We were married 28 years ago - and at that time weighed in the 'slightly overweight' BMI... after 28 years of marriage, we both were morbidly obese. Both of us had complications due to our obesity - HTN, asthma, diabetes - just to name a few. Now after 18 months we have lost >320 pounds combined and weigh less than when we got married. Would we do it again - in a heart beat. Any regrets? Yes - that we didn't take care of our selves in the first place. Barring that, a second regret - that we didn't have surgery sooner!!

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

She answered all questions - and we have had NO unexpected complications from our surgeries.

Hi, thanks for your query. I believe that these members had their surgeries carried out in Sacramento, CA.

Wow, that is a really great story and photo! You both look so happy, I'm glad it worked out for you both.

Have you found it easy changing your diet and lifestyle to fit around your WLS?
