Jose Manuel Rodriguez, 32 years old, offered us his testimonial just minutes before entering to his surgery, he was weighing 130 kilos and born in Caracas and domiciled in San Antonio de Los Altos.
Jose Manuel was always a patient with a degree of obesity. He went to the physician for a check up and unfortunately he was diagnosed as a diabetic patient type II.Since he was willing to better his lifestyle he went deeper and saw that some members of his family went through the Bariatric surgery, better known as a Gastric bypass. He was convinced that through this means he could cure at least 98% of his diabetes.
His family members were operated by Dr. Carlos bravo who works at UCQ Noreste. This motivated Jose Manuel to contact him immediately.
After one year of battles, the surgery was next. Preparation time was very difficult due to the type of diabetes he was diagnosed with. First of all, he had to be able to stabilize his levels and once they were in the range they could proceed with the operation.
More than a losing weight surgery, he was looking for a cure for the diabetes, he wanted to be healthier, he knew this was a sickness that attacks all the organs in the body and he had no option but to attack it at once.
“With this operation you can change the metabolic syndrome and stop using insulin just 2 days after the surgery”.
