Living the difference
Here are some testimonies from many patients that were satisfied with our international
program and its services:
I’m happy!
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.
Martha Trujillo / USA
My husband and i were helped with a high quality service. All the people were
very helpful and understanding, we appreciate the service Clínica Colsanitas
gave to us. The doctor was very patient and explained everything that were
going to happen.

With the procedures and during our stay at the hospital, I felt if I were at home or
having a great holiday. The pfroffesional group almost made me forget I was having some medical tests. Everything was arranged in detail with the necessary guidance and explanations. I was accompanied with much, much love. I really felt at
home. It was as if the entire staff of the hospital was working for me. I felt comfortable and confident with the doctors. I spent the best weekend. Please greet and
give our thanks also to all Colsanitas and Clínica Reina Sofía staff especially to my
other friend, Ruth. You are both awesome!
Alexander Antony / Antilles
During my stay at Clínica Reina Sofía, attention was very good. I want to congratulate the Doctors Segura, Osorio, Rugeles and Saavedra, as well, the International
Office staff Johana Paola, Ruth And Diana. They were very kind and friendly. Also
to Natalia, Head Nurse for her collaboration and concern with my state of health
and the care she provided me. I’m very satisfied.

I had the best service ever with no compliances. All the clinic and
the International Program took good care of me and my companion. We highly
