Here is a testimonial from one of our patients:

Frank & Burdie Stoltz, 60 & 62 years old

''We lost a combined weight of over 200lbs. Thanks to Dr. Pennings and his staff, we can walk side by side. We can get closer together and are able to hug and kiss. Our lives are worth living again?''

''Thanks to Dr. Pennings and his wonderful staff I am now 141 lbs lighter and it's been 2 1/2 years and still staying off. I feel wonderful and very thankfull for my ''new life''. This is the best present I could have given myself. This surgery may not be for everyone but if your even thinking about it please, please look into it. You won't be sorry. I know everytime I look into the mirror I'm very thankful that I made that first call.''
