"2014 was a pivotal year for me as I had reached a weight of 302, diagnosed with Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, Sleep Apnea, and other health issues. After trying many diet loss plans to fail at each one. Loosing weight, then when I stopped I gained. I decided to looking into Bariatric Surgery. Researching the different surgeries and then began my search for a practice. After many appointments I found Rex Bariatric and made my first appointment. Other practices seemed rushed trying to get me in and did not feel right. After meeting with Dr Sharp I knew this was the right practice. He discussed my options and how the program works and that we are patients for life. Along with Dr Sharp, Rex Bariatric has a team of providers making this a complete and structured experience. Rex Bariatric is very thorough in their process looking at all aspects of my health and preparedness for the surgery. October 14th 2014 Dr Sharp did my surgery as I had the Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy. This was the start of a new life and a new me. Post surgery I attended one of their support groups. What amazed me is that Dr Sharp and the other surgeons were there. We are patients for life and 6 years later I feel like a valued patient and know that they are there for me. I successfully lost 120 pounds and with their support and guidance I have been able to maintain a healthy weight rid of my Diabetes, High Blood pressure and sleep apnea. I have a new life and it is due to Dr Sharp and his practice. I have been so great full for Dr Sharp and this practice I decided to become a mentor and share my story and success with others researching this journey. Thank you Dr Sharp. "
