Robin Hewlett

Robin decided to have weight loss surgery, and chose the Gastric Bypass procedure. Her surgery was performed in 2006. Since then, she has lost 180 pounds!

“I didn’t realize what I was missing out on until I had the surgery and lost the weight. I felt like a whole new person. I feel so much better now. I can play with my grandkids on the floor, I can put them comfortably on my lap. I would definitely recommend the surgery to others who are considering it.”
