Patient Testimonial
Meet Lissa
Describe your life before you had Weight Loss Surgery.
At over 300 pounds I had trouble walking, keeping up with my family, sleep apnea, and my asthma was a constant struggle. In addition to the weight I had planters fasciitis, lateral tears on both hips, and a torn acl. My body constantly hurt and I’d fall asleep all of the time. I hated missing life and activities with my family.
How long were you considering Weight Loss Surgery before you came in? If you put off the decision, why did you wait? What eventually made you decide to “go for it”?
I looked in to weight loss surgery about 5 years ago but the location was not helpful and my insurance didn’t cover anything to do with weight loss. After seeing a pain specialist I knew I had no choice because the injuries I had could not be addressed unless I lost weight. I contacted this office and my life changed almost immediately. The staff were so helpful and Dr. Lainez made me feel like I was his only patient.
What was it like to work with the team, from the start of your journey to today?
The entire team makes me feel like their purpose is to help me. They’re understanding, patient, and honest. I truly look forward to my follow up appointments and my surgery went great.
Describe your life now, after Weight Loss Surgery. What is the #1 thing you love being able to do now (that you could not do before)?
After losing over 100 pounds, I’m able to walk, I’m active, I no longer have sleep apnea, and I feel amazing. My family can’t get over how amazing my journey is going and how happy it’s made me.
