Here’s what some of our patients are saying about The Weight Loss Surgery Program at MetroHealth Medical Center.

Pat, Age 47, Bariatric Surgery, February 2003 Before After "After many unsuccessful diet attempts, I decided to have a gastric bypass. My new life began on February 12, 2003. I have lost 185 pounds and my life has changed dramatically. Now I often start sentences with the phrase: "Three years ago, I couldn't: Walk up a ramp or a flight of stairs without losing my breath Fit comfortably in a restaurant booth, chair with arms, theater seat, and bathtub Feel normal, look average or be confident. I chose MetroHealth for several reasons, starting with their wonderful reputation. I was impressed with their support; before, during, and after surgery, and even now at three years post-op. I will be forever grateful to my surgeon, surgical staff, nurses, counselors, nutritionists, and everyone at Metro."

Jose, Age 40, Bariatric Surgery, February 2005 Before After  "Before surgery, I was always tired ... sluggish ...sleepy ...had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea. Depression came over me ... I tried everything to lose weight. My wife knew about the department (The Weight Loss Surgery Program) ... and heard only great things about the program. Things have been better since the surgery. A year and one month later, and about 100lbs less, I feel great! And I looked great for my daughter's wedding! It was worth it!"

Bobbie, Age 42, Bariatric Surgery, May 2003 Before   After “My life before the surgery was very sad. My health was not good. I had multiple problems, including my heart and my knees. I had two knee surgeries. This was the best thing (gastric bypass surgery) that’s happened to me since my daughter. I would never go back to the place I was before the surgery. MetroHealth doctors and nurses are the best people on the planet.
