MaryOur Patient
Hey my name is Mary Box. I had Gastric Bypass surgery on December 10, 2014. When I had my surgery I weighed 246 lbs. I struggled with high blood pressure and depression. I was a borderline diabetic and my cholesterol was starting to rise.
My decision to have the surgery was because there are several heart problems on both sides of my family and I was so unhappy with myself. Since my surgery 14 months ago I have lost 106 lbs. I currently weigh 139 lbs. I went from a size 18 to a size 4 in jeans! I no longer take any medicines and have so much more energy.
I actually feel like my old self again. The best part is now I want to go outside and play with my two boys and not stay inside all the time. This surgery has changed my life for the better!!!!

My name is Sandra. I had lap band weight loss surgery in October 2013. My starting weight was 246 lbs and I have lost 75 lbs. I went from size 20-22 and am presently wearing size 10-12. I had borderline diabetes and hypertension but since the weight loss my blood pressure and my blood work are normal. I am on no medications and have no health problems secondary to obesity. I am very healthy and active.
I had tried numerous diets and failed. Lap band was the right choice for me because it helps control my portions resulting in weight loss. I have had so much support from Dr. Bilton, Beverly, other post-op patients, and my family. The first thing that I was told to start my journey of weight loss surgery was, “you will learn to eat to live instead of live to eat”. This has been a very true statement for my journey.
I am so happy that I made this choice as my life has changed for the better.

Hi my name is Angela, I weighed 275 before my gastric sleeve surgery.
It was the best decision I could have ever made for myself. High blood pressure, fluid around my ankles preventing me from being able to walk. High cholesterol, and just fatigued.
I’m 9 months post op weighing 205lbs I have my life back!
Dr. Bilton is the best!
