Bariatric Surgery Success Stories
JAMES
“I first met with UBCKC on December 7, 2022, weighing 485.4 l was nervous but excited. I spoke with my surgeon about what the best approach for surgery would be for me. I went through all of my steps with the help and guidance of the staff.
The surgeons at UBCKC have exceeded my expectations. I have changed everything about myself and my life. This has been an amazing adventure in my life. This journey and process has helped me to become successful and take control of my life. Several of my family members have been successful with bariatric surgery. I felt I would benefit from having surgery. I continue to follow all of the directions Dr. Joseph and his team have given me. I had major health concerns, and this is why I first approached UBCKC for bariatrics. I had gastric bypass surgery done with my highest weight reaching 500 pounds. Now almost 7 months post bypass | weighed in at 269.
It is exciting to run into people that have not seen me for months or years and they do not recognize me at all. Even my wife can see the change and she see me every day. My famity spoke with me about how i needed to make changes, or I would not be here to see my nieces and nephews grow up. This was when I decided to make the decision to save my life.
1 struggled with depression and anxiety and no longer have these struggles.
If you are on the fence about bariatric surgery, I would suggest taking the chance what do you have to lose but the weight? Go for it, it is life changing! Thank you UBCKC and staff for helping me take back my life!”
