" The staff is one of the most caring hospital staffs that I've ever encountered. I wish this hospital was on the central coast where I live. It is awesome."
"At age 39 after the birth of my daughter, I was diagnosed with stage 3-breast cancer. This meant following my doctors advice, which was to undergo treatment in order to survive. After my chemo and radiation I took hormone called Tamoxifen (Nolvadex®); with it came the side affects of weight gain. I gained over 85 pounds in less than two months. For twelve years I tried to loose the weight and I failed, I became an obese person, which brought on the onset of diabetes. I knew that I had to do something to regain my quality of life. So I started researching and found that the “Roux-en-Y” Gastric Bypass Surgery could possibly cure diabetes. And on September 18,2009 my life-changing journey began.rnrnIt has been 15 months since I had my surgery; and though it as been a little tough at times, I wouldn’t change a thing. It’s having two of the best doctors in this field that really made it a positive experience for me. Dr. Felix and Dr. Swartz “You are the Best” you have such great knowledge and compassion what you do. You and your staff are so focused on getting your patients to live a healthier life, this show great devotion and on your part. Which is truly remarkable. I can’t thank the two of you enough for saving my life. “So yes losing 150 lbs has really paid off” and now that the joy of life has been given back to me for the 3rd time I intend to live it in the best way I can by taking care of myself: eating right, staying fit, and living a positive life. rnAnd by the way –The day of my surgery my blood sugar was 250, four days later my reading was read 93. I ‘m no longer a diabetic or take any medications for diabetes. Today my blood sugars points read 73 in the mornings. rnLove you guysrnThank YournTeri Hunterrn"
