I was a 205 pounds, 5 feet tall women, with a morbid obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, Hypothyroid, leg and knee pain, back pain, no energy.
I met with Dr. Chen and his Magnificent team, Endocrinologist, Nurses, Psychologist, Nutritionist, and they walked me through all the process of having the Gastric Sleeve Surgery.

I thank God every day for giving me the Best of the Best caring Team in the world.
