We are thrilled to share an incredible weight loss success story with you. Neal, a patient of ours, has achieved a truly remarkable transformation. In just five months since undergoing gastric sleeve surgery in April 2024, he's lost an astounding 106 pounds!

We've attached four photos – two "before" and two "after" – to illustrate this remarkable journey. The change is nothing short of inspiring. Neal himself describes his decision to have weight loss surgery as "the best decision I ever made," a testament to the profound impact it's had on his life.

This remarkable achievement underscores the life-changing potential of weight loss surgery when combined with commitment and support. We are incredibly proud of Neal's progress and his dedication to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We believe his story will serve as an inspiration to others considering similar journeys.

While we’re already halfway through 2025, it’s not too late to reignite your passions and pursue your goals.

Perhaps you’ve been aiming for a healthier lifestyle—incorporating more exercise or adopting a balanced diet. If so, let’s redefine what “healthy” means for you and create a personalised action plan.

Or maybe your goals are more focused on proactive healthcare. Scheduling that postponed colonoscopy or addressing that hernia shouldn’t be put off any longer. These preventative measures are crucial for your long-term well-being, and I encourage you to make appointments as soon as possible. Let’s find resources and support to make this happen seamlessly.

No matter your aspirations for the rest of 2025, remember that it’s never too late to begin.

As both a business owner and a medical professional, I know how crucial it is to have the right team in place. Building a strong, skilled, and dedicated group of individuals takes time and effort, but the feeling of knowing everyone is performing to their potential and contributing to the overall success is truly invaluable. This sense of accomplishment is what makes “Feel Good Friday” so rewarding. It’s a testament to all of our collective hard work and a reminder of the powerful impact a well-functioning team can have. Thank you Carelyn and Genesis for our 240th ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star google review .

Just about 11 years ago today, Dr. Denk had a great turnout for his talk at PRMC about hiatal hernia surgery. Check out the original comments where a mom stated, "my daughter's life was changed by this Dr".

Another great turn out for Dr. Denk's talk on Hiatal Hernias at Physician's Regional.
