”There’s so much I can do now — it’s phenomenal.”

Before the surgery, every year I was diagnosed with another medical condition. I was on 23 different medicines for asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, and ankle and knee pain. At age 40, I was in a wheelchair and told I'd never walk again. This was my last-ditch effort so I did everything the surgery team recommended. I was bound and determined the surgery was going to work.

Things I couldn’t do before I now do with ease. I walk three miles daily and ride a motorcycle! I'm thinking about traveling to China this year, and I could never have done that before the surgery. My self-esteem has improved and my family says that I'm so much happier now.

The group at John Muir is wonderful and very supportive. Four years later, I still get a monthly check in e-mail from the nurse manager, Anne Timberlake. If I had to do it over again, I would in a heartbeat. My only regret is that I waited so long.

”My whole lifestyle has changed.”

All my life I struggled with my weight. As a kid, I got teased about my weight. Everyday activities were difficult and my health suffered. With a family history of high blood pressure and diabetes and young kids who still need me around, I decided to have the surgery.

Now, my energy level is through the roof. I go to the gym, I'm more active, and I can jog four miles a day without losing my breath in the first 100 yards. I have higher self-esteem and I’m not embarrassed by my weight anymore.

I’d do it all over again. My whole lifestyle has changed including my clothes size. I went from a XXL to a medium-sized shirt. I can go to the store and buy clothes off the rack. I don't have to try them on to make sure they're not too tight.

The John Muir team was impressive especially Dr. Otero and Anne Timberlake. The support group meetings were very helpful and put me at ease about the surgery.
