Bariatric Surgery
Before and After Photos Gallery

"All I can say is thank you for giving me my life back.  When I called and scheduled my appointment I was 315 lb, I started then watching what I ate.  When I had the surgery I was 295 lb.  I now weigh 180 lb.  I never thought I would ever be down under 300 lb again in my life. 

I sleep much better, I have more energy, and can walk upstairs without getting winded.  All I can say is if anybody wants to have this surgery just do it.  I can't say enough about how well I was treated at the clinic.  The nurses was nice and they took very good care of me. 

If I had it all to do over again I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I had the best care I've ever had anywhere.  Again thank you so much for everything."

Hi Dr. Pérez!!

Since surgery, I have been allotted a new opportunity for a NEW LIFE! I am living the life of my dreams.

My journey has been amazing, not necessarily easy, but has got me on the right path for my health. Before I decided on mini bypass, I tried pretty much every diet and diet pill there is. No matter what I did, I could never get under 230lbs. My doctor told me that she thought the only way I would actually lose is surgery. Looked into it in the states, but insurance didn’t cover any of it, so I was lucky enough to find Renew and Dr. Perez.

I had to relearn how to eat, my new stomach likes and dislikes certain things. I am mindful what I eat and hit 80-90g of protein everyday. I need to work on eating more veggies though as I do not really like them too much. I am a full time college student and work full time and have 2 kids so I do not get much free time to workout, but I have been walking about 45 minutes to 1 hour at least 2 times a week. Would
love to start lifting weights. Even without lifting weight or going hardcore on exercise, I am still moving with cleaning house, yard work, and chasing after my young kids.

My weight loss has been steady until about 10 months. I have been at the same weight for the last 3 months. I know I need to eat more greens and drink more water and get in the gym. Because of the surgery and Dr. Perez, I have been able to fit in a bath tub, run around with my kids, focus more while doing homework, and my joints are not so sore and achy. I can cross my legs and find myself sitting that way any chance I get. I look at pictures that people take of me and I don’t hate them; I enjoy getting my picture taken.

Height: 5’10”
Heaviest weight (before pre surgery): 310lbs
Surgery weight: 285lbs
Current weight: 185-193lbs - last time I was on scale last week it was 191lbs
Goal weight: 175lbs, but I do like how I look now, if it wasn’t for the loose skin.

A year down and never been happier!! The journey takes work, but if you're willing to do it the rewards are amazing! Since the procedure I'm am to be more active, go hiking, go to the gym, go to the beach and feel comfortable in my own skin. Going into this surgery I was extremely nervous. Going out of the country far from home was scary, but it was the best decision. I ever made. It changed my life forever!!

I had the mini bypass. I've lost 155lbs altogether, the last time I checked. I was about 300 lbs the days of surgery and 318 the day I started the preop diet. I am not about 165lb. Since having surgery, I've able to be more active with my kids, fit on an airplane more comfortably since I love traveling, and I rode a few rollercoasters! I've included a before/after picture. Thanks so much for this life changing experience! 

Before weight loss I was able to down hill ski 2-3 hours. This winter I spent 6+ hours a day skiing.
