After 2 years of research I found Dr Bass and made my choice.  Even though I live on the West Coast, I drove all the way to Hollywood Bariatrics to attend a Seminar and to meet Dr Bass. Since then, they have opened Gulf Coast Bariatrics on the west coast, where I attend my support groups and do my follow ups. Dr. Bass came highly recommended by 3 of my co workers, who are all in the medical field. I have lost 160 pounds and I fit in a size 4 pants now!

If your contemplating weight loss surgery, do it! Through their programs,  Hollywood Bariatrics and Gulf Coast Bariatrics help you mentally, emotionally and physically with your new lifestyle. They give you all the information you need to make the decision thats best for you. It was emotionally and physically draining to not be able to fit in booths or chairs, not be able to walk easily, and have everyone staring at you. Choosing to have gastric bypass was the best decision I have ever made for my weight and health issues. I have no more health conditions, I am exercising and doing things I could have never done before, like Yoga!

I have already refereed 4 people to Gulf Coast Bariatrics, they went on line, watched the videos and made their appointments. We all go to the support groups now, and can even participate online if we cant make it! I refer Dr. Bass, TIffany and everyone at Gulf Coast Bariatrics whenever I can!
