Surgeon Testimonial

Ben Tribble, M.D.
My first impression of him was that he was very caring. His office staff is great, but they mean business!,...as they should. He was very up front with the risks and advantages..and so was his staff! I know he is going to be great for me!

Update...4months post op and loving life! Down to a size 16 and a large/xl shirt! It's amazing..I'm having the time of my life!


I'm twenty years old and I am hoping to get gastric bypass surgery. I am currently a senior college student studying biology! I plan on being a doctor one day ! NOW....I am at the end of my rope and currently suffer from High blood pressure and Congestive Heart Failure. I know I'm young but I don't see any other way. I would love to talk to other young WL patients....I'm looking and hoping for a new improved future!

We remain the same people we were (after WLS), but there is an edge that develops. Some people may not find it as soft, cushy and lovable as before and find it unappealing. But the fact is…….we no longer are forced to laugh at ourselves, be ashamed of ourselves, or be walked over out the simple desire to be accepted. Yup, there is an edge that can develop that makes us speak our minds, look people directly in the eye and smile, and be realistic about our relationships with others. It’s scary. It’s strange. But it is wonderful."

My Story

Well I've been heavy all my life and that's something that has been haunting me for a long time. I was diagnosed with High blood pressure when I was 14 and Congstive heart failure when I was around 17. I also have PCOS(polycystic ovarian syndrome). Not only is my weight affecting my health, it is also affecting me emotionally. I got serious about having weight loss surgery this year. I am currently trying to get surgery to end this long battle I've been fighting!
