Success Stories: Rachel


“Now I am living my life instead of watching it pass me by!”

Rachel , a 36-year-old account executive, is 2 ½ years out from Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass surgery and has lost 110 lbs.

“I was thrilled with the care I received at the UI Hospitals and Clinics.  Dr. Samuel, Debi and the entire staff made sure I knew exactly what to expect from surgery through recovery and living with a gastric bypass successfully.

“They gave me all the tools I needed! The scars from the laparoscopic Roux-en-Y are barely visible - in fact I have moles that are more noticeable!           

“I am 28 weeks pregnant with my first child and my husband and I are ecstatic at the thought of watching our son grow and knowing I will have the stamina and the energy to chase him as he does.

“I am proud I had the courage to choose gastric bypass surgery and very happy with the results of my surgery at the UI Hospitals and Clinics.”
