Latoya lost 115 lbs.
I just wanted to personally thank the new york bariatric group on helping me lose over 100lbs. I had a vertical sleeve gastrectomy in 2014 and weighed 242lbs. I worked closely with my doctor and the nybg staff to outline my diet and workout regimen! I’ve had no plastic surgery, just good old hard work, eating clean, dedication, and the support of my parents. Together, we can stop obesity for life.
Tammy lost 108 lbs.
When I began looking into the surgery a friend recommended NYBG and Dr. Garber specifically as he performs the surgery via single incision through the belly button. Upon meeting him and his amazing staff I knew I was in the best hands. My experience was amazing and I was on my feet chasing after my two kids in just a few days!
Vinny lost 230 lbs.
I don’t have to shop online just for the bigger sizes anymore. I can now walk into local stores for clothes and buy off the rack. To look back at pictures of myself from the past few years i never felt as big as i was, but the scale doesn’t lie. With a family and a full life to live ahead of me, i had to do something! People, who have known me before surgery, actually stop me now just walking by and i can see it on their faces the amazment that they can’t believe its me. How much weight i have lost. It’s all thanks again to dr holover and the ny bariatrics group i have my life back, i can be a new better version of myself.
John lost 240 lbs.
Dr Sommer added years and more joy to my life. At just under 6 feet tall and over 450lbs, my health and quality of life were rapidly deteriorating and me and my family were very worried. The surgery and recovery were much easier then I ever expected. I have my life back now and I know that my success was 100% due to the care and support I received from Dr Sommer and the staff at NYBG. I can now keep up with my 21 year old son and enjoy being out in public without feeling self conscious. I completed my first 5k which was unthinkable over the last 20 years. I just wish I had done it all sooner.
