Even though most of patients only regret not getting weight loss surgery sooner, I do like to lay out some realistic expectations about the difficulties most patients experience post-op—and what you can do about it!

Trust me though, it will all still be worth it and things like hair loss and the liquid diet are only temporary.

Happy 🔥 Shoutout to , who says:

“On September 22, 2021, I had VSG and haven’t looked back since. The first few months were a tough adjustment, but it was the exact tool I needed to not just lose the weight, but help me make adjustments to my daily habits for long-term success. Almost 3 years later, and I’m in the best shape of my life. I’ve maintained a 125 lbs weight loss, follow a flexible dieting plan and am in the gym at least 5x a week.”

Message me if you’re ready to change your life and lose the excess weight for good!
