My name is Lourdes. I work in here in North Austin Medical Center labor and delivery department. Leaving [Indiscernible] [00:00:10] home of the hippos. The moment in my life that I decided to change what was going on with my weight was when I was in vacation in my homeland Panama. My legs were so swollen that I could not wear normal shoes to come back home to the States. My sister-in-law voice the problem to me and then she told me what are you going to do about it. I got in a plane, came back the next day I got waiting here in North Austin Medical Center and then I decided to go to Dr. Ganta and take whatever means necessary to get rid of the weight.

I chose Dr. Ganta because he was recommended by my coworkers. He’s a good communicator. Has patient bedside manner and of course the success rate of the procedures that he does. The procedure that I had done was a stomach sleeve. I had it done in December 19th, 2011 and right now since the beginning I don’t know how much I have lost but I had since I began dieting to now I have lost around 77 pounds. I feel great. Before I was never able to run from point A to point B without losing my breath. Now I’m running and I just want to keep going. I’m happy. I can tie my shoes without passing out. I can cross my legs something that I couldn’t do for 10 years and also I’m more active with my children.

The recovery was great. I even went to my Christmas party for my family. I had a great time. I didn’t eat because I was post off diet but I had a great time. Amazing stepping on the scale afterwards it’s amazing. I just couldn’t believe it. It’s still amazing every morning it’s a reason to smile about.

I will recommend Dr. Ganta on the spot. He is great.
