“Having bariatric surgery has been truly life altering. Although we are responsible for our own destiny, I must truly thank Dr. Parag Patel and GObesity Bariatric Center for helping change my life.

I am almost two years out and I have never felt better both physically and emotionally. My energy level is incredible, and my Sleep Apnea is non-existent anymore.

Carrying extra Kilos was also costing money, and the extra weight was on track to cost him a lot more. He was having hypertension and OSA, which includes medication. Along with risk on health it was affecting him on economic front also.

Sometimes he bundles up and walks to work. Overall, Shantilal’s health has improved greatly. He no longer needs any medications or a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device to treat sleep apnea. Since his surgery, he feels better.

I’m off medications, and I’m happier about myself,” says Shantilal. “The key is to stay motivated and to do some form of exercise regularly”.
