ROBYN VALENCIA
Hi my name is Robyn. I would like to thank Dr. Eslami and his staff for giving me my life back. I had my surgery in March 2011 with a starting weight of 322 pounds. Since my surgery I have lost over 150 pounds. Having Gastric Bypass Surgery was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I thought about having surgery about 10 years ago and was not mentally prepared and couldn’t find a surgeon I connected with. Dr. Eslami is an awesome surgeon. Right from the start he made me feel comfortable and he is extremely knowledgeable. There are so many things I am able to do now like cross my legs, get on the floor and play with my son, lift weights and go zip lining. I even compete in 5K runs now. I continue to attend monthly support meetings through Dr. Eslami's office and feel they are very beneficial for my ongoing success. Thank you Dr. Eslami you have given me my life back. I would also like to give a special thanks to Lynette and Rondi, thank you so much for all of your help and support throughout my weight loss journey.

Dr. Eslami gave me life back! It is like being reborn. On the day of surgery, I was 299 lbs and am now 167 lbs. I have lost 132 lbs...WOW.
I had the Sleeve Gastrectomy procedure on 12/21/11 and today 02/21/13 I feel like I am 20 again! Dr. Eslami is truly the BEST in this field. I will forever be thankful for being referred to Dr. Eslami.
The pictures speak volumes. prior to surgery I had high blood pressure, high everything, I also needed foot surgery, now all is good and I no longer take the mass quantity of prescription medication, that ultimately, due to obesity caused the need for these medications but because I decided to proceed with Bariatric Surgery I am medication free.

As I sit here writing this testimonial I recall that a year ago today I was prepping for my gastric bypass surgery. My last and what I felt was a desperate act to reclaim my life for my children, my husband and most of all myself. I struggled for years to lose weight and live a healthy life. At the age of 39 and a height of 5'8", I tipped the scales at 289 pounds. I used to joke that I weighed more than the heavy weight champion of the world and most NFL linebackers. But in reality I wasn't laughing. Everyday I tried and everyday I failed to get my eating under control. It was a battle I couldn't win.
The day that I walked into Dr. Eslami's office was the day that my new life began. I made the connection, now I had to do the work. After classes, Dr. appointments, therapy and relearning how to eat I was ready for my surgery, totally informed and yet totally scared. Little did I know that this "desperate" act was the best decision that I ever made.
Today, exactly one year later, I weigh 165 pounds; that is 124 pounds down from my highest weight. I am no longer depressed, I am not on any prescribed meds and I am happier and healthier than I have ever been in my life. I exercise daily, eat sensibly and remember where I was and how I could be there again if I am not mindful and consistent in my new habits. The surgery is a tool, it is in no was an "easy fix". I work hard to take care of this gift. I am running races and preparing for things that I never thought possible and loving every minute.
I want to thank Dr. Eslami and his wonderful staff from the bottom of my heart. You are amazing and have given me a new life. I also thank my beautiful and supportive family and friends. I couldn't have gotten here without you all and I will forever be grateful. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
