Patient Testimonials

Diet, gain, repeat was my life! Being “pregnancy weight” and not pregnant was the last straw! I had to get healthy for my kids! With Dr. Pecquex and the CWC teams help, I've lost 105 lbs! My BMI is normal and I feel great! – YB

My oldest son is no longer embarrassed to been seen in public with me. Something I did not know until after I lost the weight. "Date days" with the husband are now done in the gym. A positive change for everyone in my family. – RC

Using food as a healing mechanism only caused a domino effect of weight related issues that I needed to change the pattern and my direction from falling to rising; deciding on incorporating surgical intervention was the greatest and most life changing decision I ever mad! – JC
