*Results may vary My life before surgery was deciding if I was going to like myself that day, according to how I looked or what I could do. I had had pneumonia. I almost died; it was within hours because I didn’t think I was worth it. I didn’t want to cost my family any

My name is Christy Davison and I received the lap band removal and I got the gastric sleeve. My first impression with Dr. Frenzel was that I finally found somebody that would listen to me and that would actually hear me out and not talk for me; he listened and he took care of my
