“Seeing friends succeed after weight loss surgery with Dr. McDermott inspired me to take action. I had my surgery in December 2020, lost 100 pounds, and have kept it off. It has transformed my life and my family’s—we’re now healthier and more active together.”
“In October 2020, I had sleeve surgery. Within five months, I lost 100 lbs., and by my daughter’s first birthday, I was down 152 lbs. I’ve gone from a size 24 to a 12, run a 5K, and am no longer pre-diabetic with normal cholesterol and blood pressure. I’m forever grateful to Dr. McDermott and his team for giving me my life back.”
“Weight loss surgery was a fantastic kick-starter to my lifestyle change. From 300+ lbs. to 180 lbs., the sleeve helped me renew my energy, productivity, and dedication to healthy habits like eating well and working out. I ran my first 5K in under a year post-op and have never felt better!”
“I started Dr. McDermott’s program in January 2022 at 26 years old weighing 276 lbs… I lost 134 lbs! My cholesterol is normal, reflux gone, my IBS unnoticeable, and diabetes isn’t in my future. I wish I would have done it sooner.”
“Having weight loss surgery not only changed but saved my life… I am completely healthy and cancer-free! I can’t thank Dr. McDermott enough for helping me with this amazing new journey.”
“Curvy me loved to work out, but never had energy… I feel healthier, happier, and more energetic than I’ve ever been. My goal has been met: to enjoy life more.”
