GINNY IS DOWN 100 POUNDS

Ginny is down 100 pounds and feels like she’s finally LIVING!!!

I suffered for so many years with Gerd. I was miserable, but continued to eat fast food and work long days on the road as a traveling CNA with hospice. It was so easy to swing through the drive-through and get right back on the road. I knew I should pack healthy snacks and meals, but I was too lazy to put in the work. Then one day I was told that my liver was bad, very bad! I was directed to get a gastric bypass or my liver would just get worse.

It wasn’t easy at first, but it made it easier to stay away from the junk that got me where I was. I had to make goals, write them down, and posted on the fridge. When the weight started falling off after I started a daily exercise routine, I became so excited, and it encouraged me to keep going.

I know I don’t want to go back to where I was. I’m actually living now, 100 pounds down, and still working on myself. The staff and Dr. Joseph are amazing to work with. They are always there to answer questions or get advice. Most of all to cheer you on along your journey. This is the best thing I’ve ever done for myself. Thanks and I have so much appreciation for Dr. Joseph and his girls!!!

JIM IS DOWN 218 POUNDS

Jim is down 218 pounds in 1 year and fulfilled his lifelong dream of skydiving for his 40th birthday as an added bonus! His Gastric Sleeve procedure has been a total success.

Jim traded a life of high blood pressure, extra weight, and limitations for skydiving, being healthy, and mobile for his grandchildren! The results look great on him too!

To say we’re over the moon for Jim is an understatement. This kind of lifestyle enhancement is what we talk about all the time. Yes, you lose weight, but what you gain in life is unmeasurable!

ROBERT IS DOWN 115 POUNDS

Robert had a Gastric Sleeve done in May 2022 and has already lost 115 pounds! His recovery and experience were smooth and the lifestyle adjustments are now a part of everyday life!

A few things we learned about Robert’s journey:

If you do what Dr. Joseph says, everything will turn out.
Incisions were tiny and healed quickly
Back to work ‘lightly’ within the 1st week
Was up and active quickly
Created a new normal – his adjusted lifestyle
Get in your zero-calorie liquids
Get in your protein
Take the vitamins
No sugar

Making the decision to get out ahead of medical conditions was his motivation and we are so happy for him and the results he’s earned!

ERIC IS DOWN 100 POUNDS

Eric had Gastric Bypass in November of 2021 and is down to his junior-high size, sleeping through the night again, off his blood pressure meds as well as acid reflux meds and his diabetes is far more manageable. He’s down 102 pounds after 1 year!

Dr. Joseph takes the time – It wasn’t easy but worth it!

LINDA IS DOWN 120 POUNDS

Linda had Gastric Bypass in November of 2021 and is down 120 pounds and feels like she got her life back! She was close to 300 pounds when she started and feels like she gave her husband and grandkids the old HER back!

Medical conditions vanished – Life is good!

“When I started this weight loss journey the preliminary stuff was all good, but the closer I got to the surgery I became terrified that I would not live through it. My health was really bad. BUT I made myself do it because I felt I’d die if I didn’t. When I woke up after surgery I was surprised and happy and it’s been the best thing I have ever done for my myself. It turned my health around and I feel great! If you’re on the fence about having the surgery, don’t be, they’ll take good care of you! Thank you, Dr. Joseph and your team!”
