My name is April and I would like to share with you my story. A few years ago I weighed more than 250 pounds and my health was on a downward spiral. I had trouble breathing, walking and getting out of bed. My problems became serious when I discovered I had dangerously high blood sugar and heart rate levels. Over the years I tried numerous weight loss programs with very little long-term success. Fearing that my health would continue to decline I decided to make a change. I found hope, support and weight loss success at the Center for Obesity Surgery & Treatment.

Today I weigh 125 pounds, wear a size six and feel great! I have energy to roller blade and dance the night away. Having Gastric Bypass surgery at the Center for Obesity Surgery and Treatment was one of the most life altering decisions I have ever made. With each pound lost I have gained an incredible amount of self-esteem. More importantly, I have control of my future and my health.
