Lost 101 lbs. in 8 months lbs

With Gastric Bypass

Hi. My name is Angie! I am 44 y/o and I have 1 son and a fiance of 4 yrs. On March 13, 2019, I started my journey by having gastric bypass surgery by Dr. J. Parrish. This was the best decision I have ever made besides having my son. So far, I have lost 101 lbs. and still counting! My weight before I had the surgery was 268 lbs. I was so miserable, I couldn\\\'t even breathe, and tying my shoes was completely out of question. My health was so bad I was on 15 pills in the morning, 6 at noon, and 9 at bedtime, now I am on just 5 pills a day now. As far as my diabetes, I say \\\"What diabetes \" - it is completely gone now. I am so much happier and more satisfied with my life and my look now. The surgery has truly saved my life. All that knows me and see me tells me how nice and how different I look and I tell them about the surgery and how great Dr. Parrish is. I would most definitely recommend this life-saving tool to anyone that is interested. I had to put the work into my success and it is so worth it. Again I have to give a big thank you to Dr. Parrish and his nurses and the entire team at Mid LA Surgical Specialists. God bless you all.

Patient Testimonials

"He is the best. Took very good care of me. Great doctor." "He's wonderful!!! I love Dr. Parrish and all his staff!!!" "I've had the privilege to talk with Dr. Parrish over the phone, and he is the only one I'd consider to refer to. I was a medical transcriptionist for 34 years, and his attitude is one like no other physician I've ever known. He personally called me several times regarding someone I'd referred to him, which is UNHEARD OF these days! The oath physicians are supposed to practice by is a thing of the past, but Dr. Parrish is truly the epitome of that oath" "I would recommend this surgery to anyone considering weight loss.. My health has done nothing but improve and now no longer on some of the medications I was required to take. I am more energetic and feel better than I have in years." "Dr. Parrish was very gentle with me and answered all the questions that I had in regards to the procedure. He was very patient with me while I made my decision. I finally made my decision to have the surgery and I have been very happy since. He is extremely knowledgeable with the procedure and the follow up care." "Dr. Parrish and his staff is wonderful to work with. Never did I feel that I was being scrutinized or put down in any way about my weight. The different surgeries were discussed and ample information was given to me to help me make a decision." "Dr. Parrish has always been professional, caring and very thorough with the testing and preparation for these surgeries. He truly cares for his patients and it shows. He is always making sure my diet and exercise program is being followed and keeps encouraging me and gives tips and information to ensure continuing success."
