“In February 2015, I underwent Lap-Band surgery and it has changed my life.”
I have been overweight my entire life, dealt with bullies, health problems an depression because of it. In late 2014, my daughter started getting bullied by a child in her kinder class because I was so heavy, 330 pounds. That's when I decided it was time to do something. I didn't want either of my children to have to deal with bullying because I was not taking care of myself. In February 2015, I underwent Lap-Band surgery and it has changed my life. I currently weigh 163 pounds, I can play with my kids, I can go to bed and not be afraid I will stop breathing and I am happier than I have been in a long time. Thank you Dr. Wright for saving my life; without your help I may not be here today.

“I had been big for as long as I can remember. I tried my best to blend in, but that's hard when you are tall and weigh 350 pounds.”
Every man in my family has had major heart issues, including my father. In my mind, it was a matter of when, not if, my heart would get me too. My wake-up call was being 30 years old and already on blood pressure medication, and I wasn't able to play with my daughter like I wanted to. My surgery has changed all of that. The gastric sleeve truly changed my life. I'm the smallest I've been since I was 14 or 15 years old. I have energy to play with my daughter. Most of all, I am happier than I've been in a long time.
STARTING WEIGHT: 242

“I'm so blessed that I was able to work with Dr. Carcamo for the sleeve procedure! I was unhappy, uncomfortable and just plain unhealthy before the surgery.”
I had tried every diet in the book and did not have much luck on my own. In only 6 months, I've been able to lose almost 80 pounds and only have 20 more to go. I couldn't be more happy with the entire staff, Dr. Carcamo and the experience as a whole. Thank you for helping me get my life back!

“I am free from high blood pressure medication. I was one point away from diabetes, I also don't have sleep apnea anymore and my children are extremely happy cuz I don't snore.”
Now I have extreme energy, I only enjoy raw veggies and eat extremely healthy and I exercise 5 times a week. Extremely Blessed I don't regret a minute of it. I highly recommend people to get the surgery done I will do it 10 times over. I am so grateful and blessed to have had Dr. Carcamo do my procedure.
