Lost 82 lbs

With Gastric Sleeve

This has been an incredible journey so far and it’s not over. The day I had Gastric Sleeve surgery, July 13, 2018, I weighed 238 and now I and down to 155. I have lost 82 pounds so dar. The day I came home from the hospital I was taken off 4 prescription medicines. 2 of the 4 were blood pressure pills. This surgery is not a cure-all. In order to get good and lasting results, you have to watch what you eat and exercise regularly, It takes a real commitment for the patient as well as the supporting family. My husband has been my biggest cheerleader and supporter. I have been going to the gym at least twice a week for almost a year now and I love it. I feel so blessed to have the love and support of my family. I feel like I got a new lease on life just in time for retirement. I love being able to shop for small clothes now. In 13 months, I have gone from a size 18 down to a size 10 pants and from size 2X down to M/L shirts. I would highly recommend this surgery to anyone with a real desire to make a lifestyle change for the better. It is so worth it! I would do it again in a heartbeat! - Cindy

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."
