Dana Estrada's Testimonial
"By the age of 30, I had tried every diet but still reached 320 pounds. Now, after undergoing gastric bypass surgery in March of 2000, I am at a slim 125 pounds. I have a new, healthy life.
 Before the surgery. People would say, 'But you have such a pretty face.' I knew in my heart they were just being kind. I was miserable and exhausted - always getting sick.
Now, I can participate in activities with my four kids and granddaughter, Layla (born 3-22-04), instead of watching life go by from the sidelines. I now am participating in my life instead of watching it go by.
My health and happiness has become stronger because of the lifestyle changes that this surgery has given to me. The surgery is a tool that assists me in long-term weight loss and a healthier lifestyle. It is not a magic pill or the easy way out like many people think it is. It is a lifestyle change unlike diets that you can start today and fall off tomorrow. This is one of the reasons it works so well because you can't use the excuse TOMORROW!!!
I didn't have this surgery to become a Barbie doll. I did it to be healthy." Today, Dana is a tireless advocate for this life-saving procedure with dramatic, first-hand experience of the phenomenal difference it can make in a person's life.
