Linda:
Hi, I am Linda. I am a patient of Dr. Dahiya’s. I had my surgery about a year ago and I have lost approximately 100 pounds.

Feels wonderful. It felt like I was carrying an extra person around with me, and now I just feel great.

When I was at my peak weight I weighed about 100 pounds more, and I had taken my nieces to the beach and it was so difficult, just running around, playing in the water with them, and I figured, you know, enough was enough. If I couldn’t play with the kids then it was getting ridiculous.
