Obesity & Bariatric Weight Loss
How to Know if You’re a Candidate for Surgery
Our caring surgeons at Las Vegas Bariatrics know that the choice to undergo bariatric surgery can be life-changing. Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 to 39.9 with one or more obesity-related health conditions. Because each case is unique, we always recommend making the decision with a compassionate physician by your side. Take this 60-second assessment to find out if you may be a candidate for medical weight loss surgery in Las Vegas and Spring Valley.
When I was at my heaviest, I found my health just starting to decline. I was having back pain, shortness of breath, elevated heart rate, etc.
I was unable to keep up with my kids, especially outside hiking. I also was running out of options for clothing that fit my lifestyle and personality. I’m down 70 lbs and I’m 6 months out. It’s been amazing, I’ve been able to work out without huffing and puffing. I can keep up with my kids. I have no more back pain. Clothes fit so much better and I just can’t stop smiling.
I was shooting insulin 4 times 130unit at a time, plus oral medication, 4 blood pressure pills a day, acid reflux pills I was taking 20 pills a day for various issues.
Today I’m currently off 16 pills and my diabetes is at normal levels. The one thing I can do that I couldn’t do was cross my legs, funny huh. I love dancing but before weight, I couldn’t do it. It hurt too much. I recently went to a party and was on the dance floor all night and the next day I didn’t hurt. Thank you Nicky and Dr. Hanna for giving me a life I could never have imagined.
Before my bariatric surgery through Las Vegas Bariatrics, I couldn’t sleep well, do stairs, had extreme numbness in my thighs, my self-esteem was tanking, and my quality of life was controlled by my need to self soothe through food.
Today, now that I have had my surgery, I am finally feeling like I can live again! I can dance, walk without being winded, go up and down stairs no problem, my quality of sleep is better, the numbness has decreased, my blood pressure is normal, my labs have been great! And as a PCOS patient, my cycles have been more consistent.
