MA. LETICIA NUÑEZ PINTO

Before surgery, I had many health problems related to obesity, such as hypertension, insulin resistance, arthritis and other complications dued to the extreme obesity that had suffered for 34 years.  During those years I tried  many weight loss methods to decrease my weight; diets, supplements, pills, at the beginning gave me good results after a while I recovered all the weight back and even more; this kept on over time until I reached 334 lbs.
I didn’t feel comfortable everybody saw me differently than the rest, making me feel bad, I did not find clothes big enough for me, I did not attend various places because there was not seats where I could fit; my self-esteem was low, besides that all the time felt sadness and exhaustion.  Bye the end of 2006 with the support of my family I decided to have a weight lost Surgery, Dr Rodriguez and Dr Jaramillo performed a Sleeve Gastrectomy on February 18th, and thank  God there were no complications, being all favorable.  It’s December 2008 and I have lost 145 lbs, I have improved my health, I even don’t take as much medicación and I feel like "another person", with more energy and desire to continue my life and enjoy it with my children and husband.
