5 /5 Zarah Polk: Having COVID complications and having had to take steroids for it made me gain a ginormous amount of weight. Even though I exercised regularly and wasnt much of an eater, it was hard for me to lose the excess weight. My blood pressure shot up, and I just didnt feel healthy. Dr. Bounoua gave me hope, and a new lease in life. From the start of the process, she was supportive, informative, and yes, realistic. From the start, she let me know that this wasnt just the solution, that this procedure would be useless if I didnt put the work in. And work I did. 5 months after, with daily 6 mile runs and strength training, I have lost 80 something lbs, and am now training for the St. Jude marathon.
I cannot thank Dr. Bounoua enough for not only giving me a new lease in life, but helping me reclaim myself, and be a better person through and through.
