Bariatric Surgery: Before and After Stories

Curious if weight loss surgery really works? Check out these patient testimonials from people treated by Richmond University Medical Center’s Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. Meet Harry, Janet, and Jean. Read what they have to say about their weight loss journeys and why they chose Richmond University Medical Center for their life-changing bariatric surgery.

Harry

Life before Surgery:

“Looking at my two daughters and two grandchildren — I wanted to see them graduate high school, get married, etc. You get to a point in life where you have to make a very important decision, and having the surgery was the most important decision I have ever made.”

Janet

Life before Surgery:

“I was on ten different medications, and I felt like I couldn’t do anything. I avoided walking and going places. I was unable to spend time with family or friends because walking and standing in line was impossible. I had to limit going up and down the stairs. I had so much pain in my knees. Life was miserable – in fact, I had no life. Finally, I decided it was time to get my life back and be healthy again.”

Experience at the Bariatric and Metabolic Institute: 

“Richmond University Medical Center’s Bariatric and Metabolic Institute was absolutely the best experience. I can’t believe people still stop me wherever I go and don’t recognize me. Before my surgery, I was walking 800 to 900 steps per day, now I am up to around 10,000 or more. I started out on ten medications, including five for blood pressure, and now I am down to only two. If this is something you really want to do — don’t put it off, do it. You will regret the time you wasted not doing it.”
