I had my gastric sleeve surgery December 13, 2017 & I loss 150 lbs and I'm so pleased with my results. The key to making this work is dedication and following the process. Nobody loses weight at the same pace

I’ve lost 46kgs. I’m 77kg down from 123.4. I had dangerously high insulin resistance. An enlarged liver. Fatty liver disease. High BP. All have since reversed. Best thing I ever did.

Getting close to goal already at 6 months. But I was half way down when I had surgery. Without this metabolic surgery would not have succeeded as I have thank you Dr

Starting at 342, I am now down to 210, 10 months out. That is about 77% of my excess. Looking to lose another 40 lbs in the next 12 months.

Questions for the doctor, can you make a video addressing these questions? if a person's metabolism has slowed drastically which contributed to the excess storage of fat then how is this corrected internally with weight loss surgery? If a person has contended with chronic stress and will continue to encounter chronic stress, how does weight loss surgery correct those internal processes of exaggerated cortisol responses to stress...which contributed to the the excess storage of fat in the first place? Lastly, if a person is severely insulin resistant then how does weight loss surgery correct that internal process of the body requiring more insulin production to cover carb intake?

[amandastreet]

I had my surgery 10/05/23 and I can’t reach my surgery office, I’m continually sent to voicemail that is never answered and after speaking with multiple people who have had their surgery procedures at the same office this is what has happened to them as well 😢if it wasn’t for your videos and outline I downloaded I honestly would have no guidance. I had to seek medical help from my primary care physician who is now helping me with acid reflux medication. So thank you Dr A.. for all that you do to guide your own patients as well as those left on their own.
