Weight Loss Surgery Results

What to Expect From Your Surgery

Sarah, a long time Phoenix resident, had struggled with obesity for most of her adult life, trying countless diets and exercise regimens with little success.

After careful consideration and consultation with her primary care doctor, she decided to undergo bariatric surgery and was referred to Valley Bariatric and Doctor Brown in the Chandler, Arizona office.

The results were life-changing.

Within a year, Sarah had lost 70% of her excess body weight, transforming not only her appearance but her overall health.

Her Type 2 diabetes, which had plagued her for years, went into remission, and her blood pressure returned to normal levels. Sarah's sleep apnea, which had once required a CPAP machine, disappeared entirely. She found herself moving with ease, free from the joint pain that had limited her mobility for so long. Sarah's cholesterol levels dropped significantly, and her doctor noted signs that her fatty liver disease was reversing.

As a woman, she was relieved to learn that her risk of breast cancer had decreased by 2.5 times, especially considering this was the disease that took her mother a few years earlier.

Perhaps most importantly, Sarah's self-image soared, and she embraced life with newfound energy and confidence.

Sarah felt she had been given a second chance at a longer, healthier life.

Her story, and others like it, is an inspiration to others who are ready to say:

Let’s end the battle with obesity.
