Michaela Penney Testimonial

"The staff at Wentworth-Douglass Hospital's Center for Weight Management and Bariatric Surgery was nothing short of amazing. They were so kind and actively listened since the day I set foot in the office for my initial visit. I just barely made the cutoff with my BMI but they heard me when I said I wanted to be healthy for myself and my future kids so I could live an active lifestyle without restraints or future worries.

On the day of my surgery I was nervous, but the staff was amazing and caring. They were encouraging and made me feel comfortable, especially since this was my first surgery in my life. Dr. Takla was great with any concerns that I had and answered any and all questions pre- and post-operation.

I can say with confidence that this was the best decision of my life. There are absolutely bumps in the road, but those are all things that you can overcome to have this amazing outcome and new lease on life. I am more active now and confident which has helped me tremendously - not just in my personal life, but also my work life."
