42 Years Old, 2 Kids 12 & 7... Single Mom

It’s amazing how one group of people can impact your life so much. As a kid I was teased for being “fat”. When I delivered my son I weighed 288 pounds. Something had to change. That was 7 years ago. I worked hard and lost 104 pounds. I did every core exercise I could but I just couldn’t tighten up my abdomen, I couldn’t wear clothes with confidence because of my fat rolls. April 3, 2018 I walked into an amazing group of people. Dr Garramone and ALL of his staff are amazing! I knew as soon as I walked in I had found my surgeon. Lisa at the front desk shines light and love to all who enter and it just gets better. I was scared, nervous, excited... just to name a few emotions. Annette sat down with me and ask me what I wanted to see transformed. She listened and advised and kept things realistic & in perspective. Dr Garramone listened, truly heard what I was saying and didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear, he told me what I needed in order to accomplish my goals. He was open and honest and kind. Theresa has a beautiful soul and has been readily available to answer every question I have had within minutes. Stacey in recovery was so gentle, kind and caring. I felt absolutely no judgement, no shame, no pressure at all from anyone. Just open, honest professionals that truly care about my best interest. We need more people like this in the world. They have all truly changed my life. I saw my belly button for the 1st time in 35 years yesterday. I’m swollen and sore today but it feels absolutely amazing to know I have a waist and not fat rolls. I have friends not providers. If you want an excellent staff this IS the place to go. They are all truly amazing. I’m post op 32 hours. I have the best team to help me achieve results and I’m positive that my life is forever changed.
