It was a long battle of weight gain, yoyo diets and never being able to keep the weight off. I came from a family history of diabetes, high cholesterol, fried foods and no exercise. I finally made the decision to have the surgery. My overall experience was great! Dr. Darido was very attentive to me. His complete program was wonderful, I had support the whole way through, he has an excellent staff. I will forever be grateful for his kindness and my new life. I have lost a total of 40 pounds already.
I struggled with weight for 10 years. I had diabetes and high blood pressure. My back was hurting and my blood sugar was always high. I tried to lose weight using diet, joining the gym and even tried phentermine. Then my doctor started me on insulin and i gained more weight. My colleague recommended Dr. Darido and I decided to give him a try.
Having surgery was one of the best decisions I've made. It changed my life in many positive ways where it allows me to enjoy my life to the fullest. I'm able to be more active and social with both my family and friends which is something that I always struggled with. Highly recommend both the surgery and Dr. Darido.
