Kera & Mikey – Recovery after surgery

Kera & Mikey – Recovery after surgery

by Dr. Tom Lavin / Monday, 02 September 2019 / Published in Patient Stories

Although Kera and Mikey knew bariatric surgery was the best option, they were still scared before surgery. Fear didn’t stop them though! After surgery, Kera and Mikey no longer need insulin shots or pumps. They are healthy, and they recovered from the 45-minute procedure very easily. Within a few days, Mikey was sweeping and mopping her floors, and Kera had so much energy that she rearranged her entire pantry. After experiencing the benefits and positive life changes from the surgery, Kera and Mikey’s only regret is not having the surgery sooner. Now, their advice to others is really simple: WHY WEIGHT!
