"On the "before" photo that I took 3 weeks before my surgery, I'm wearing a size 6XL shirt. I will be eternally grateful for your kindness and gentleness. I never felt judged by my size, from the first consultation you were empathetic and along the way you have shown your genuine interest in helping me be healthy. Thanks to you, my daughter can give me the most powerful hugs! Thank you for changing my life and that of my daughters." (Omayra C., surgery in July/2024)
