-Edward S.

“I was fed up with being fat. I began investigating another way to lose the weight that I had failed to lose trying all the “diets.” I didn’t want to continue to fail, and I didn’t want to continue to contribute to the weight loss industry.

I found a surgeon somehow and called his office. I got a very negative vibe from whoever I was transferred to, and I just didn’t feel comfortable. So, I didn’t follow up with them. I finally found Dr. Huguet’s office and made the call. I was greeted warmly and with great compassion and I made the appointment.”

-Billye

“My only regret is that I didn’t do this sooner! I’m off all my medications and my joints feel so much better. As a school nurse, I found it difficult to speak to my students about their weight while I was so heavy. I no longer use the elevator and only use the stairs. Follow the guidance of Dr. Huguet and his staff and I promise you that you will be so happy. Best of luck to you!”

“I’ve struggled with my weight my entire adult life. High blood pressure, sleep apnea, fatigue, and joint / knee pain were my daily battles. I had my Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy and now 5 months later, all of those medical conditions are gone. No more high blood pressure, no more sleep apnea, and now I have so much energy that I feel like a teenager. Having the surgery was the best decision I have ever made.

Dr. Huguet and M.I.I.S. gave me back my life and for that, I am forever grateful.”

“I choose life!”

-Hope

“Weighing 430 lbs at the age of 36 was like being trapped in a dark hole without a way out. I’ve tried all of the diets I could think of but nothing worked. That’s when I found out about this amazing doctor by the name of Dr. Huguet @Baysurgical. That’s when I started my journey to get the weight loss surgery. AFTER: Since the surgery, I weigh 265 lbs. My goal is 200 lbs. I feel 100% better. I’ve been able to do things I wasn’t able to like zip line and many other fun things. Also, my health has improved. I’m not in so much pain as I was.”

-Shakara

“My weight got to the point where I was afraid not to get surgery. My quality of life was getting worse with every pound I gained. Just cooking dinner for my family I would have to take breaks and sit down because my feet hurt so bad from standing. Leaning over the tub to bathe my toddler hurt me and I would be out of breath I cannot tell you how much the surgery has helped me. My quality of life and the life of those around me is better. The first time I cooked a meal and didn’t need to sit I cried. The pain in my feet was gone. I forgot what it felt like to not hurt while standing. I have energy to do so much more now! I considered surgery for many years and have been to consultations for wls in the past with other doctors. Something about Dr. Huguet was different. He will be honest with you. He’s going to do his part but you have to put in the work. I’m forever grateful for him and his team. They helped me get my life back.”

-Holly

-Jyoti

“If you’re ambivalent about having the surgery, don’t be! My life has changed so much. My self esteem and self confidence has improved. I feel a sense of hop that I never had before. I used to dread shopping malls because they didn’t carry clothes in my size, but now I actually enjoy shopping. I no longer worry about fitting on amusement park rides. I am in a relationship now and have improved mental health. Most importantly, I’m healthier and added years to my life. A year after my surgery, I’ve lost 100 pounds and continue to make healthy choices. Thank you Dr. Huguet and staff!”
