Their Story

Describe your life before you had Weight Loss Surgery.

Being overweight was stopping me from being active I always felt tiered it was frustrating because I missed out in many family events and I was pre diabetic.

How long were you considering Weight Loss Surgery before you came in?

Ever since I was 6 years old I was heavy due to hypothyroidism and by the time I was 13 years old I would watch shows about obesity and their successful weight loss surgeries inspired me then until I was finally able to I didn’t think it twice. And I’m happy as can be now that I finally feel beautiful.

What was it like to work with our team?

Since day one I stepped into Dr. Bortz office I felt all the kindness of everyone. Everyone their made me know I was making the correct decision.
