"It's been 10 months since I received the laproscopic Gastric Sleeve procedure. I am very young compared to most of his patients, and as far as I know, I am his youngest. I was 15 at the time and it was a very big, and scary decision that I had to make. I probably wouldn't have been able to go through with it if I had any other surgeon. He was so kind, yet very diligent when he needed to be. At first he was very skeptic about preforming the surgery to someone as young as me, but after conversing with him about my life long struggle, he believed in me. Which helped me believe in myself also. I would recommend this to anyone who is considering this. I may be young, but I fully understand everything about this surgery along with the benefits and complications. I have 0 regrets as far as having this surgery. Dr. Washington helped change my whole life. My highest weight was 408 lbs, I am now 242 lbs and lost 166 pounds. I went down 5 shirt sizes, and lost 14 inches off of my waist. I'm still loosing and very grateful. Thank you so much Dr. Washington!"
