Luis GERMÁN'S STORY: 
"I WAS BORN AGAIN WHEN I LOST MY EXCESS WEIGHT" 

Unlike many people who tend to be obese as children by inheritance from their parents or bad eating habits, Germán was thin until the age of 15 when he began to gain weight due to the type of food he consumed. He was not depressed or anxious, it was just the habit of eating in excess.

“I used to eat a whole pizza, four sandwiches, a two-liter soda bottle, until I reached 352 lbs (160 kg)”.

"When you're obese, you do not get hired because they think you will get sick or they need someone lighter. You get bullied all the time, get nicknames; I couldn’t go anywhere because I did not fit in the seats. There was a time where I tried running, exercising and dieting to loose weight but nothing seemed to work”.

"I knew about Dr. Campos by a lady who did not know me and approached me to tell me about the systems he used to make people lose weight through surgery. Immediately I contacted him, he told me I was a potential candidate and conducted studies and analysis of all kinds for six months, until I got the surgery performed. In a year I dropped 220 lbs (100 kg)”.

"My wife, who is slightly overweight but not as much as me, advised me not to get the surgery, she was afraid that something will happen to me, but I was always very determined to make such drastic changes to my own benefit".

"Today, I eat as little as if I had the stomach of a child. I eat everything but in five small meals throughout the day and I am really satisfied with small portions".

"I am immensely grateful to Dr. Campos because I was reborn since I lost weight. You regain your self-esteem, you have more job opportunities and you're not a victim of teasing and insults anymore. Thank you!”
