"This is an amazing team of highly qualified specialists." —Armen, Glendale, CA
I tried to lose weight for many years with different diets. But it was never successful. I would lose some weight but gain it back even more when I stopped the diet. I developed high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
I did my sleeve gastrectomy at UCLA. This is an amazing team of highly qualified specialists. Special thanks to Dr. Dutson and specifically to his NP Anna Balioukova. I am very happy with my results. I had really smooth course after my surgery. I have lost 60 pounds within ten months. I would highly recommend this program to those who look for the best results and caring team through every step of their journey.
