Patient Testimonial
Diana Walton
Bariatric surgery “only option” to manage diabetes
I had uncontrollable diabetes and weighed 205 pounds. My blood sugar was 500 to 600 every single day and I was using 60 to 80 units of insulin per day.

Today, I am 137 pounds and my diabetes is much more manageable and under control.
