I’m happy! During the last year, my life has changed drastically. I was su� ering

from obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and recurrent uri-

nary tract infections. Getting in any vehicle was torture, all my clothes had to be

custom-tailored, and watching those � nal results i was even more disappoin-

ted every day.

Today i am a completely di� erent woman, i feel younger than ever with my 58

years. My health is getting better, i move free and there is unimaginable hap-

piness in me as i walk into a store and buy my clothes in regular sizes. When i

think in the bene� ts his procedure has brought into my life, i rejoice thinking

they are countless. After being tortured by so many frustrating treatments, the

gastric bypass has been the only solution to my morbid obesity problem. I used

to weigh 160 kilos and i’m now 75 kilos after one year of my surgery.

Undoubtedly, undergoing this surgery with dr. Andrés ospina was the best decision.

going to happen.

Living the diff erence

With the procedures and during our stay at the hospital, I felt if I were at home or

having a great holiday. The pfro� esional group almost made me forget I was ha-

ving some medical tests. Everything was arranged in detail with the necessary gui-

dance and explanations. I was accompanied with much, much love. I really felt at

home. It was as if the entire sta� of the hospital was working for me. I felt comfor-

table and con� dent with the doctors. I spent the best weekend. Please greet and

give our thanks also to all Colsanitas and Clínica Reina Sofía sta� especially to my

other friend, Ruth. You are both awesome!

Alexander Antony / Antilles

During my stay at Clínica Reina Sofía, attention was very good. I want to congra-

O� ce sta� Johana Paola, Ruth And Diana. They were very kind and friendly. Also

to Natalia, Head Nurse for her collaboration and concern with my state of health

and the care she provided me. I’m very satis� ed.
