Patient Testimonials

		Karen Johnson wanted to ride a motorcycle! Click the PLAY button above to hear how she was able to finally be more active.

I wanted to be more active, and knew I should be … but I couldn't. I wanted to play in the floor with my grandson. I wanted to be off those blood pressure drugs. I wanted to be a happy person, but I couldn't.

I recovered quickly from the surgery and lost the weight very fast. I never hit a plateau. That kept me going through the hard times. At the Weight Management Center, they taught me how to treat food as a nutrient instead of a crutch. I've maintained my weight for over two years … and my blood pressure is normal.

Now, the doctors I work with ask me to talk to their obese patients. I show them my 'before' picture and they're amazed. It's easy to recommend having surgery, because my life is 100% better - in all ways."

Karen Johnson had gastric bypass surgery in November, 2004 at Parkwest Medical Center, a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, and member of Covenant Health.
