CHANGE Your Life Like Jesse

“I have more energy, I'm active in the gym, and I am doing things I wasn't able to do before, like hiking, biking, and even taking helicopter rides. A TOTALLY awesome experience was when I was boarding a flight and didn’t have to ask the flight attended for a seat belt extender! Bariatric surgery along with the lifestyle changes have really helped me to achieve my health and weight goals. I couldn’t be more thrilled to be on this journey.” – Jesse (Jesus) Ponce
