Share Your Successful Weight Loss Surgery Story & Win Again!

April 24, 2017

Probably one of the most rewarding aspects of being a bariatric surgeon at Central Carolina Surgery is seeing how our weight loss surgery patients transform their lives.  Our patients can reduce the number of medications they must take for chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. Many patients can even come off of certain medications altogether.

 

Not only are our patients able to improve their medical comorbidities the majority also report a better quality of life. I had a patient share with me the other day how she recently went to the beach with a group of friends – some of whom are also our patients- and climbed a ladder all the way up to the top of a 130-foot-tall lighthouse! She shared that this would not have been possible just eight months ago. To see the joy and happiness in her just reaffirmed why I love what I do.

 

There are so many additional stories like hers at Central Carolina Surgery. That’s why we decided to offer a platform for our weight loss surgery patients to share their journey and successes. If you are a post-operative patient and would like to share your journey, you can submit your weight loss surgery story on our website. For those that submit their testimonial with photos over the next 3 months, you will be entered in a drawing to win a $100 Visa gift card! Check out the flyer!
