I have struggled with my weight over my whole life, my Gastric Bypass was by far the best decision . Dr Morales has excellent bedside manners, professional yet very personable. I would recommend him as your surgeon with extreme enthusiasm.

I love, love, love Dr Morales. My experience was awesome! My proceedure went smoothly except for the hernia that gave him trouble. I would refer him to anyone entertaining the thought of WLS. He is an excellent Dr.
