  Dr. Machado saved my life on Nov. 7, 2007. My body was operating out of control. I weighed 344 pounds, had extremely high blood pressure, uncontrollable diabetes, asthma problems and a compromised immune system. I developed Sleep Apnea and congestive heart failure. I was 52 years old.
  
  I tried and tried to lose weight to no avail. My medical doctor basically said to have a gastric bypass or don’t expect to live long. When I met Dr. Machado I was filled with hope. Not only did she and her staff have wonderful bedside manners, she really cared about each and everyone of us. She gave all of us a second chance at life and a happier life carrying a much lighter load.
  
  Initially, it was a difficult way of life. I lost 145 lbs. quickly. But I made a few mistakes along the way. One was to think I could still drink wine the way I used to. This became a big problem as I could no longer metabolize it. I had to quit. Another problem occurred when I didn’t stick closely to the diet and gained back 80 pounds.. I got back on the diet and lost 100 pounds and my weight ihas been stabile for two years. Lastly, I quit taking bariatric vitamins and I reached a point of extreme fatigue and low blood counts.
  
  With the life change that Dr. Machado initiated, I now am raising three grandchildren and enjoying retirement with my family and friends.Thank you Dr. Machado for the gift of life.
