Due to severe GERD and a failed attempt to repair a hiatal hernia last year I found out today that I will be having another hernia repair surgery and the surgeon also recommended revision from sleeve to bypass. He was driving while he was telling me this so the call…

Hi! I had gastric sleeve in 2015 and lost about 100 lbs. I had some stuff go on in my life and unfortunately went back to my old ways. Over the course of so many years most of the weight has crept back on. I’m so disappointed in myself and…

Happy Monday everyone. Saturday was a total wash out and I was feeling tired and lazy from going in so early Thursday and Friday so I just did minimal stuff. Yesterday I did a bit more, but the darn wind was crazy outside which made it a bit cooler than…

I’ve tried a lot of protein shakes, and Premier Protein’s Chocolate Shake is one of the few that actually tastes good. Honestly, it’s like drinking chocolate milk—smooth, creamy, and not chalky like some other brands. It doesn’t have that weird aftertaste either, which is a big win in my book.
I have always experienced great care and have complete confidence in Dr. Ferzli and his program. He is so patient and available to his patients, and his staff is so very helpful.
Nope. Had a sleeve in December 2019. In 2023, I had a bowel obstruction due to scar tissue from the procedure. Dr. Kia performed what was supposed to be a simple procedure and perforated my bowels TWICE! After waking from surgery, I was in the worst pain of my life!…
