“I have always had knee issues, to the point of having injections in my spine and considering surgery. My doctor advised that while losing weight would not cure my issue it would reduce the damage. My surgeon and physical therapist both advised that if I did not lose weight, they would have to replace my knees.”

“From my first appointment at Zydus Hospital’s GObesity Bariatric Center, I felt supported. I knew that everyone had my best health in mind, mentally and physically. EVERYONE was so kind and took the time I needed to feel comfortable and understand every detail of the process.

“Post-surgery, I thought, “well their part is over and now the rest is up to me” and that couldn’t be further from the truth. I still feel just as supported as when I first walked in the door. Every follow up visit is a celebration of how well I am doing and motivation to keep pushing. I have had very few concerns, but every phone call, and request has been met with concern, urgency, and reassurance. 

“Life is great! My back and knees are not so stressed out and I am amazed at how much better I feel physically.  I can take the stairs, I can work all day standing, and not go home wiped out. I am enjoying a whole new wardrobe and lifestyle thanks to Dr Parag Patel and GObesity Bariatric Center.”
