"Genesis and I met at our nutrition class before our surgeries. We realized we have the same birthdays and we even had our surgery on the same day! Along with our husbands we walked about 100 laps around the hospital floor together the night of our surgery. We have been friends since and send progress pictures to each other often. Not only did Genesis and I change our lives forever we also found life long friends in each other! So thank you very much Dr Baptista."(Jennifer & Genesis, in 2022)
