One Woman’s Journey Toward Weight Loss

Posted: 16 Jul 2009 | Categories: Products & Services Here

Martha struggled with weight problems. Soon, those weight problems grew into medical problems. Obesity eventually caused enough damage to Martha’s body that she developed sleep apnea, a dangerous condition that causes a person to stop breathing while they sleep. She needed to wear a sleep monitor every night when she went to bed. Her knees and joints grew sore with excess weight, she continually was forced to monitor her blood sugar levels to prevent impending diabetes and she knew the burden placed on her heart was immense.

Her doctor suggested that Martha undergo a gastric bypass surgical procedure. She talked with Dr. Marco Antonio Sariñana of Mexicali Obesity Solutions. She was pleased when she discovered the doctor took the time to answer her questions and explain the gastric sleeve operation he suggested for her condition.

Prior to the surgery in October of 2008, Martha weighed approximately 270 pounds. In April of 2009, Martha is proud to say that she weighs 178 pounds and continues to make positive strides in her weight loss endeavors. “My life has improved,” Martha says. “My work and personal relationships have improved.” Martha knows her choice to receive a gastric sleeve bypass was not merely because she wanted look better to her friends, family and acquaintances, but because her health was suffering.

“Today, I am happy, because I do not have to take medicine and I’m off the sleep apnea machine. For the first time, I am able to enjoy my grandchildren. Obesity causes physical as well as mental pain. Taking a positive action, visiting Mexicali Obesity Solutions and receiving the gastric sleeve surgery has changed my life.”
