During the last year, my life has changed drastically. I was suffering from obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and recurrent urinary tract infections. Getting in any vehicle was torture, all my clothes had to be custom-tailored, and watching those final results i was even more disappointed every day. Today i am a completely different woman, i feel younger than ever with my 58 years. My health is getting better, i move free and there is unimaginable happiness in me as i walk into a store and buy my clothes in regular sizes. When i think in the benefits his procedure has brought into my life, i rejoice thinking they are countless. After being tortured by so many frustrating treatments, the gastric bypass has been the only solution to my morbid obesity problem. I used to weigh 160 kilos and i’m now 75 kilos after one year of my surgery. Undoubtedly, undergoing this surgery with dr. Andrés ospina was the best decision.
