Patient Testimonials
Meet Erin, a Synergy success story. Erin has lost 120 lbs. (over 80% of her excess body weight) in just one year following surgery. More importantly, she feels great. In Erinās words:
āI feel like I have a lot more control of my life than I had prior to the procedure. And I feel really good. I have a lot of energy; things that used to be difficult arenāt anymore. Iām doing really well.ā
Erin, Synergy Bariatrics Patient
Meet Melissa, another Synergy success story. Melissa has lost 68 lbs. (over 40% of her excess body weight) in the six months following her procedure, and she feels great. In Melissaās words:
āI loved my doctor. The staff was very attentive and caring and I couldnāt have asked for better nurses. This was a life-saving experience. It was a very hard decision to make but Iām so glad that I made the decision to have the surgery. It saved my life. It gave me a new start because I was stuck in a rut and it let me see myself for a whole new person that I was supposed to be. I love life and Iām more active. Iām in the gym working out. Iām meeting new people. My cholesterol numbers are now normal and Iām no longer borderline diabetic. My blood pressure has been normal since immediately after the surgery. And itās more than just surgery, you have to be willing to change your life. The surgery alone is not going to do it. People look at me and say that I look totally different. It was more than just the weight loss. Itās a feeling of accomplishment that Iām able to do this for myself.ā
Melissa, Synergy Bariatrics Patient
āThe results of the procedure exceeded my expectations. I didnāt think that it was going to drastically happen the way that it did. My weight before was 324 and my weight now is 182. And itās only been a little over a year. I feel a lot better without having all that weight and Iām happier now than ever. Itās also helped with my high blood pressure. It used to be that if I got excited, I would start having really bad chest pains, but once I started to lose the weight, all of that just stopped. My life has changed. Itās done a whole 180. Itās completely different and I love it. Itās the best decision that Iāve ever made.ā
Letisha, Synergy Bariatrics Patient
āIāve got my life back. I had high blood pressure and I donāt have any issues with that now. My weight was 490 and now Iām 218. I used to do a lot of sitting around and now I have an active lifestyle, always moving. I think you need to give the program 100% opportunity to work before you start deviating from it. Youāve got to be true to yourself.āāJoseph, Synergy Bariatrics PatientāJoseph, Synergy Bariatrics Patient
