Suzanne Monahan, RN, BSN, WCC, CCM

The decision to commit to bariatric surgery took about two years. After doing extensive research regarding options and surgeons, I chose to treat with Dr. Ahmad. This decision was made because of Dr. Ahmad’s clinical statistics, reputation in the medical community and extremely personalized office environment.

From the moment I committed to having bariatric surgery, both Dr. Ahmad and his highly competent staff were very supportive and helpful every step of the way. It’s been eighteen months since I had my procedure and I am more pleased now than ever with my life-changing decision. I have lost ninety four pounds, went from a size 20 to a size 1 and no longer suffer from any of my previous health ailments. I am free from hypertension, reflux disease, asthma, hyperglycemia (pre-diabetes), and high cholesterol/triglycerides. I have boundless energy, amazing motivation and tremendous optimism over my improved health and lifestyle choices. No longer am I plagued by out of control eating patterns, remorseful feelings about food nor shame over my escalating weight gain/health issues.

Losing the weight and associated diseases has allowed me to discover a life I never knew was possible. I have learned how to eat properly, exercise successfully and remain free from the baggage that was a result of poor eating habits secondary to ineffective coping. The surgery was not the solution, but rather a highly effective tool that enabled me to implement and maintain a healthy lifestyle with both food and exercise. Thank you Dr. Ahmad (and staff) for giving me an opportunity to truly experience health, confidence and inner peace.
