“Dr. Wang has changed my life in so many ways. I am so thankful for her and this Surgery. My highest weight was 467lbs. I couldn’t even tie my own shoes or run around with my son. Now weighing in at 254lbs, I can actually have a conversation without losing my breath. Dr. Wang, I owe you so much for giving me my life back. Thank you for always checking up on me even 2 years post-surgery date. You have been nothing but amazing and kind and i am so very grateful for you! Definitely recommend her and her practice! “

235 lbs -> 160 lbs, lost 75 lbs
“A little over 7 months ago, I began a life change that I believe was the best decision ever. I had a gastric bypass, the day of the surgery my weight was 235 lbs and today it is 160 lbs. 75 lbs later I feel like a totally new person. Bariatric surgery is not just about losing weight, it is a life change and more than physical it is mental; just don’t forget that it is one day at a time. Thank you Dr. Wang for this life change and for all your support throughout the whole process. Whatever you are going to do, do it for yourself!!!

“I have always been struggling with my weight, but never like I didn’t since 2021 it was a tough year after I lost my mom due to Covid 19, the food started to become like my comfort for everything my emotions dependent in the food, and my weight was reflecting it, in less than 1 year I went from 255 to 270 and then to 290 the heaviest that I have been EVER!
I had a lot of moments that became my breaking point like when my daughter wanted to play in a playground but I didn’t fit through the slide of even moving from one end of the house to the other it would take my breath.
I tried everything to get a few pounds down every single pill in the market, injections to loose weight, diets lots of them! and the pounds always come back in a few weeks. Then I decided to go to my doctor for help, he sent me to Dr. Wang and she helped me ever since, answered my questions, she was strict about the new way of living. If it wasn’t for her I couldn’t say it very proudly that I’m here because of her, she guide me every step of the way.
Now that I’m 53 pounds off (so far), I love my life, I enjoy taking pictures with my love ones. I enjoy playing in a playground with my kids, I like going for walks and to the gym and what I love the most is feeling confident in my own body.
I would definitely go through the Surgery any time.
I hope that my testimony could help people with their decision of going through a Gastric bypass because IS WORTH IT!”

345 lbs -> 245 lbs, lost 100 lbs
“My starting weight when I had my first visit with Dr. Wang was 345 lbs. It was a number that I never planned on getting up to. I’m so glad that I did make the decision to start my weight loss journey when I did. Thanks to Dr. Wang’s encouragement and advice, I was motivated to really put effort into starting my weight loss with healthy eating habits and exercise. Within just a few months, I dropped nearly 50 lbs. By my surgery date, I was just under 300 lbs, weighing in at 299 lbs.
With Dr. Wang’s comforting and reassurances, I was more than trusting her with her capabilities of a successful procedure. Thankfully everything went smooth and she even repaired a hiatal hernia for me as well. I’m now nearly 3 months post op and down 50 lbs more. Current weight is 245 lbs. The fact that I’ve already reached my 100 lb weight loss is mind blowing to me and something I wouldn’t get to until much longer. When I look at old photos and videos of myself before making this weight loss journey and life long decision, I am more than grateful for choosing better for my life and my body. Not only is it about the way I look but, the way I feel physically, emotionally & even mentally. I couldn’t have come this far without the help of Dr. Wang & her team”

I started my weight lost journey in August 2025 I weighed 340lbs I had my surgery in Nov25 2025 I weighed 307 and today is February I’m down 98lbs almost half of me. Dr. Wang the Bariatric Surgeon is the best thanks to her motivation and support I wouldn’t be where I’m at today trust I wanted to give up but she stepped in and didn’t let me. If you want to change your life I recommend weight loss surgery she’s the best and you will not be disappointed keep thriving and striving and let this be your year.“
