TESTIMONIALS
I have lived with obesity for years and felt ashamed of myself with my weight of 160kg combined hypertention and high level of glucose and knee pain at my age of 37. Six months after surgery, 40 kilograms are dumped. It became easier to walk and I felt happy to get back to a healthier life.

After surgery, when I returned to Guam, my journey to health really took off. I feel stronger, lighter and like I am 25 years old again. Best of all, I have no need for the diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure medication he once relied on.
