✨ Throwback Thursday ✨
25 years later and a whole new chapter begins! 💍
cindy.vsg celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary in the most incredible way — by putting on her wedding dress and realizing it’s now 3 sizes too big! 👗💪

Three years after her gastric sleeve with Team Cheregi, Cindy has lost 80% of her excess body weight — she’s stronger, healthier, and more confident than she was 25 years ago. ❤️

This is what we call a major non-scale victory! 🙌

Weight Loss Wednesday 💪✨
Stephanie is crushing her goals — she’s celebrating her 1-year surgiversary after her SADI-S surgery with Team Cheregi, having lost an incredible 190 lbs! 🎉

Now you may be wondering — what exactly is a SADI-S? This procedure combines the benefits of a gastric sleeve and a gastric bypass, offering the best of both worlds for long-term success.

It’s an ideal option for patients with a BMI of 50+ and/or uncontrolled Type 2 diabetes, helping them achieve significant and sustainable results.

At Advanced Bariatrics, we understand that no two patients are alike. Every weight loss journey is personalized based on your unique health goals and needs. 💙
If you’re ready to partner with a team that truly invests in your transformation and long-term wellness, Advanced Bariatrics is your home. 🌟

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🎀

Did you know there’s a direct link between obesity and breast cancer?

💡 Patients living with obesity have a 20–60% higher risk of developing breast cancer — and that’s not all. There are 12 other common cancers (including colon and prostate) also linked to obesity.

The good news? 🌟

Losing weight can lower your risk and help protect your health long term. Whether through medical weight loss or bariatric surgery, every step you take toward a healthier you is a step toward cancer prevention. 💪💖

Take charge of your health — your future self will thank you!

Meet Rachel — she’s down 78 lbs after her gastric sleeve with Team Cheregi, and she’s truly living her best life! 🌟

We’re so proud of Rachel for taking charge of her health and proving that hard work and the right support can transform everything. 💙

💪 Transformation Tuesday | Men’s Health Matters!

John is living proof that bariatric surgery + lifestyle change = lasting transformation.

Three years after his gastric sleeve, he’s maintained a 100 lb weight loss — reaching 100% of his excess body weight lost and his ideal body weight!

Men often put their health on the back burner — but the cost can be high: high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and lost time with loved ones.

John’s story is a reminder that taking care of your health isn’t selfish — it’s an act of love for yourself and your family. ❤️

If you’re ready to be the dad who plays with his kids, the husband who grows old with his wife, or the grandpa who keeps up with his grandkids — your journey to better health starts today.

Meet Niki, who’s celebrating her 1-year surgiversary after losing an incredible 82 lbs with her gastric sleeve! 💪🎉

That’s 69% of her excess body weight — gone! 🙌 Her success didn’t happen by chance. It’s the result of using every tool available — bariatric surgery, the guidance of our dietitians, support from our psychologist, and a total lifestyle transformation.

💡 Remember: GLP-1 medications (like Wegovy, Ozempic, or Zepbound) can be helpful for those with a BMI of 28–34, but for patients with a BMI of 35 or higher, bariatric surgery remains the most effective and sustainable long-term solution.

Your journey starts with one courageous decision — just like Niki’s. ❤️
Are you ready to take that first step?

Advanced Bariatrics

Led by two fellowship-trained weight loss surgery specialists, Dr. John Cheregi and Dr. Hsin-Yi Chang, Advanced Bariatrics was created to help people struggling with obesity confront their challenges and discover a happier, healthier way of living.

For many people, obesity is a chronic condition that requires medical intervention. At Advanced Bariatrics, we are committed to providing a judgment-free environment. We work closely with our patients to develop a treatment plan that will redefine what the future looks like.

The collaborative approach used by Dr. Chang and Dr. Cheregi is designed to help our patients identify the plan and procedure that will help them achieve success. Our doctors are passionate about being there every step of the way during what becomes a life-changing journey for most of our patients.
