“I enjoy working with a diverse population and educating individuals and staff. The bariatic process is a life long learning process for both patients and staff. Nothing can compare to when a patient tells you they no longer have to take medication for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc., or how their lives have changed (going back to school, being able to walk a mile, going to King’s Island and getting on the rides with their children, fitting behind the wheel of a car or a restaurant booth, are able to wear the latest fashions and have become a more self assured and confident individual who enjoys living!) |
