Today, at the Obesity Out clinic, we had the privilege of interviewing our patient Linda and the Dr. Luis Gerardo Cano. Linda, who underwent gastric bypass five months ago, has experienced a remarkable weight loss of 37 kilos. This interview not only celebrates her success, but also delves into the reasons and transformative effects of her decision.
Why choose bariatric surgery?
Linda shared with us the challenges she faced before the operation. "I made the decision because I had many medical problems," she explained. Among them, arthritis and other health problems that needed an urgent solution through weight loss. The choice of the type of surgery was crucial. "Because you asked me if I suffered from reflux and I suffered a lot from reflux," Linda said, noting how Dr. Cano customized her treatment, resulting in significant improvement. "And to this day, thank God, nothing."
Dr. Luis Cano's medical recommendation
Dr. Cano, a renowned Bariatric Surgeon in Tijuana, explained why the gastric bypass was the best option for Linda, especially for her reflux problem, a condition commonly aggravated by the gastric sleeve. "The goodness of this type of surgery," Dr. Cano commented, referring to how gastric bypass can offer more effective solutions for certain patients.
Overcoming postoperative challenges
Linda's journey was not without its challenges, especially in relation to the post-operative diet. "I struggled when just for food, because I'm very difficult to eat a lot of things that I had to eat and didn't eat," Linda shared about the difficult first two months. However, with the support of Obesity Out's excellent nutritionist, she found healthy alternatives she enjoyed, such as the protein-rich avocado.
A testimony of a transformed life
Linda now feels revitalized and able to perform activities that were previously impossible for her. "No, I suggest you do it, so that you feel better, because I am relieved of many things," she recommended to other patients who might be hesitating to make the decision to have surgery. Her experience highlights that, beyond the initial challenges with food, the surgery has been "another life, it is totally different".
Excellence in Care: Obesity Out and Dr. Luis Cano
The treatment Linda received throughout the entire process was "excellent, very professional", from her first consultation to the post-operative follow-up. This high quality of care reinforces why Obesity Out is a excellent option for bariatric surgery in Tijuana.
Linda's story is a powerful reminder of how surgical intervention, when properly selected and executed by professionals like Dr. Luis Cano, can be profoundly transformative.
