Why Did You Decide to Have Bariatric Surgery?

After years of dieting with some successes and many failures, Robert realized the need for a tool to achieve a healthy weight. Despite being in good health, he knew that approaching 60 meant it was only a matter of time before his weight would negatively impact his health. In late 2017, an uncomfortable and embarrassing flight to Las Vegas served as a wake-up call. Realizing that losing weight on his own was no longer feasible, Robert decided that weight loss surgery was the best option.

Why Did You Choose to Go to The Better Weigh Center?

Robert researched various options, including offices in Houston and San Antonio, but was recommended one of the best doctors right in Corpus Christi. Pleased with the reviews and recommendations, he made an appointment with Better Weigh Center in early 2018. From the first appointment, Robert found the staff to be top-notch, and Dr. Stegemann’s knowledge and professionalism reassured him that he had made the right decision from day one.

What Was Your Experience with The Better Weigh Center Like?

The experience with Better Weigh Center was great from the moment Robert made the first appointment. The staff were accommodating and flexible, especially since Robert travels frequently for work.
