"This surgery changed my life in every way. I can exercise, I have more energy, and I feel like a completely new person." (Translated from the original Spanish.)

Ammy A. underwent sleeve gastrectomy in May 2026 and has experienced a remarkable transformation in both her health and quality of life. She reduced her weight from 232 pounds to 150 pounds, losing 82 pounds following surgery. Her body fat percentage improved from 44.3% to 30%, her BMI decreased to 26, and her visceral fat area returned to a normal range.

Ammy describes bariatric surgery as one of the best decisions she has ever made and wishes she had pursued treatment sooner. Before surgery, everyday activities could feel exhausting and frustrating. Today, she enjoys exercising, walking comfortably, and participating fully in daily life without the limitations obesity once imposed.

She also emphasizes that weight loss surgery is about far more than appearance. For her, the procedure improved physical health, mental well-being, energy levels, self-confidence, and overall happiness. Ammy enthusiastically recommends Dr. Nestor de la Cruz-Muñoz and his team, highlighting their ongoing support and commitment to patient care throughout the journey.
