Testimonials

“I started out at 355lbs* I lost the 75% that I want to maybe a little more I’ve never regretted oneday having a surgery. I feel it was the best thing I ever did. Now I can play with mygrandbabies instead of just sitting back and watching!”

I am 4 weeks post-op from a Roux ‘n Y gastric bypass “revision”. My original surgery 11 years ago had started to fail. I sought out the doctor based on his bios online and chose him to figure out what was going on with my stomach. When I saw him initially, I was in pain, couldn’t keep food down, and my stomach was extremely distended and bloated with pain. He walked right alongside of me from the initial visit followed by two surgeries. I am now feeling the best I’ve felt in over 5 years.
In January 2011 I had a Gastric Bypass. He is the founder of this medical group and is the surgeon who has basically perfected the Gastric Bypass procedure that is followed by most Gastrointestinal Surgeons who perform this procedure in the US today; it is considered the ‘Gold Standard’ procedure. To date – July 2012 – Weight day of surgery – 395 lbs, present weight, (7/12), 173 lbs*, total loss of 221+ lbs*.
I had my surgery on 02/04/15, I was pleased with Dr Ali and his staff. Specially Michelle Pre-Op Coordinator, Jo and Allie . Jo went above and beyond to try to get my surgery date change because I had some issues, Michelle was extremely helpful on making sure I had everything ready for surgery. after surgery she went to the hospital to make sure everything was ok and if I had any questions.
Marie came to see our gastric bypass surgeon near Los Angeles because she had several serious health conditions. Since her bariatric surgery, Marie has lost approximately 70 pounds* and is experiencing more energy and confidence than ever before. Like many patients, Marie believes the gastric bypass surgery she underwent saved her life.
