“St.Vincent offers a level of care that is unmatched,” said Dinah. “They’re compassionate and professional in everything they do. Anybody who does their research will find that the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence is a stellar facility with a wonderful staff.”
Dinah: A Bariatric Success Story. Most people who are good candidates for bariatric surgery have a lot of questions about the surgical and recovery process before deciding to undergo the procedure. Dinah — a previous patient at our Bariatric Center of Excellence — was no different. Dinah had tried countless diet and exercise programs before she started researching bariatric surgery. After evaluating her options, she decided to get in touch with the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence.

Dinah prepared for her bariatric surgery by attending presurgical consultations and talking with an St.Vincent dietician. She also attended bariatric support groups at St.Vincent. Both of these experiences provided her answers to many of the questions and concerns she had about the procedure. “The pre-op consultation was really helpful for me,” she said. “All of my doctors and specialists made me feel comfortable, and helped me understand everything I wanted to know about my procedure.” Since undergoing surgery, Dinah has lost more than146 pounds and gone down 24 dress sizes. The experience has given her a newfound enthusiasm for life, allowing her to enjoy activities without feeling self-conscious about her weight. “The greatest thing about my surgery is how I feel,” she said. “I’m more active, self-confident and outgoing than ever. It’s been a huge change — for the better.” To find out more about the St.Vincent Bariatric Center of Excellence, visit MyBrandNewLife.com or call 877-831-1582.
