Dr. Ismael Bailon and his staff were amazing!

I have been struggling with my weight since I was a teenager. After years of dieting, I have finally learned how to live a healthy lifestyle and avoid fad diets. I have contemplated whether or not I want to have surgery for some time now and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

I strongly recommend Dr. Ismael Bailon!

I have struggled with my weight for all my life. I felt bad that I was not able to reduce my food intake and increase my exercise. I had considered surgery in the past but was fearful and felt that I should have the willpower to beat my overeating.

I researched the various options but was attracted to the Bariatric Surgery Center program.  I strongly recommend The Center for Bariatrics and Dr. Ismael Bailon and his team of outstanding professionals. —Miguel

JAMILA Gastric Sleeve
Having surgery was the best decision of my life!

Before surgery I struggled with weight loss due to hip and knee pain. I was prediabetes and could not find a solution to lose weight. A good friend of mine had Bariatric Surgery 7-8 years ago and was very successful and she motivated me.

At The Center for Bariatrics all the staff was friendly. I feel this is the best decision of my life. I am so happy I had the surgery. I can cross my legs now and go up the stairs with more energy. I no longer have any knee pain when I walk. —Jamila

JOSE Gastric Sleeve
I am so thankful to Dr. Ismael Bailon and the staff!

Before I had surgery, I suffered with numerous health problems as a result of my obesity. In addition, my obesity affected my quality of life, since my size limited me from participating in physically exertive activities.

Since having the surgery at The Center for Bariatrics, almost all of my health problems have been cured. I am more active, with more energy, drive and confidence. I am now mountain biking 20-30 miles a week and I commute to school on my bike. —Jose

I recovered really quickly from the surgery!

Like many women I have been held back by obesity for most of my adult life… I struggled through the difficulty of losing a small amount of weight, then to only regain it quickly plus more. I became depressed. I was so very discouraged.

I am also grateful to Dr. Ismael Bailon as he NEVER once made me feel bad about my obesity. He was always 100% encouraging and positive. I am grateful to the care I received at The Center for Bariatrics. —Kimberly

I truly believe Dr. Ismael Bailon, is the best in the world!

Ever since I was a kid I struggled with my weight. I tried countless amounts of diets, prescription diet pills, exercising, and even went to weight loss camp at the age of 12. Nothing ever worked and it was very hard, especially being so young and having these struggles.

My experience was amazing with The Center for Bariatrics. No matter the distance or the struggles I faced they were there to help every step of the way. —Sophia

CLAYTON Gastric Sleeve
I know the surgery was one of the best decisions of my life!

The reason I got surgery is because I was thinking of my family. I have two small girls. It was difficult to do anything with them. I wanted to be around to see them graduate and get married. I wanted to be enthusiastic about life. I felt depressed.

Now, I am a better me. I want to share my testament to anyone else who is having doubts about surgery. I feel like I still have a lot to do, but I see the drastic changes. I know the surgery was one of the best decisions of my life. —Clayton

OLIVIA Gastric Sleeve
Dr. Ismael Bailon is amazing!

My whole life I struggled with weight loss. I tried all the diets out there and nothing would give me long term results. I decided that I needed a greater tool so I started researching bariatric surgery. I lost my dad at a young age to heart disease and didn’t want my daughter to feel the pain of losing her mother.

I found The Center for Bariatrics online and made the online consultation. Dr. Ismael Bailon is amazing. He is caring and truly has passion for helping people change their lives. The whole team is wonderful. —Olivia
