Our Bariatric Success Stories

Rose Miller *

My heaviest was at 289, at that point I knew something had to be done. I had a video conference with Dr. Fitzer which at that point I knew he was the best doctor to complete the surgery. This was 7 years ago and I owe all my success to him. THANK YOU!!!

All of the staff was amazing. Jessica & Shelby who I dealt with the most were amazing. I have my life back and health.

I use to sit for hours and eat because I was depressed, donut after donut, ice cream after iced cream. For years and years I struggled with obesity, getting made fun of just stopped being funny and started to get real. I would cry myself to sleep at night because of the words and cruelty of others . ON March 22,2018 I decided to change my life, I told myself I will never let food take over my life again, now it’s time for me to control me . 160 lbs later I stand in front of you never happier never looking back never letting myself go again. All you need is some motivation and a good mind set start right now!!

Tara McElhaney *

Hello my name is Tara and I had gastric bypass surgery in August 2017. I was always a bigger person even from my childhood age. I inquired about weightloss surgery after a recent family vacation to Disneyland and my daughter wanted to go on every ride and I was too big for them, my husband had to ride every ride with her. I looked Dr Fitzer officer up and made my first appointment. I was so scared I canceled. After fully talking to my husband about it he was behind me 100% and then I finally made another appointment and went. Let me tell you what it was the best thing I could have done. I started this journey at well over 330 pounds I’m now down to 180 and I’m so proud of myself.
