Testimonials
“Before my surgery I was almost 260lbs and suffered with GERD, PCOS, and Sleep Apnea having to use oxygen whenever I slept. I was miserable. I am now able to do things that I couldn’t before like tie my shoes and enjoy my time with my husband and kids. I am always asked if I would have the surgery again and my answer is always, in a heartbeat!”
“For years I tried every diet possible with no success. It hasn’t been an easy road, but I am thankful to have gone through the process and come out the other side a healthier woman. But most of all, I now love the girl staring back at me in the mirror. I am 110lbs lighter and I couldn’t be happier!”
“Today, I am so happy about how I look and feel. I strive to live more healthy every day. I would do it all over again. I would like to thank Dr. Ganser and the staff at WBI for their outstanding care and concern for me. It has been a truly transforming journey!”
“Prior to surgery I had severe sleep apnea, borderline diabetic, cardiomyapathy, joint and back pain. They are all gone now and I now lead an active and pain free lifestyle.”
“I had gastric bypass surgery eight years ago and lost the weight that was killing me. I am now healthy and I feel terrific. I work hard every day to maintain my weight loss. I make the right food choices and I exercise almost every day.”
