Erica
Moreno, 42, of Long Beach, is now able to experience life to the
fullest. After battling her weight her entire life, Moreno
underwent laparoscopic bariatric surgery with Dr. McColgan and Dr.
Dahiya in November 2001.
Moreno’s weight had become more than just a burden, it had
become a health risk as well. After suffering from sleep apnea for
years, which caused her to wake up in the middle of the night
choking, Moreno knew she had to take charge of her life. After
exploring her options, she decided laparoscopic bariatric surgery
was the best solution.
“The best feeling is to have the
freedom to do the things I could never do before,”
said Moreno. “I can sleep through the
night without worrying if I will wake up in the morning. I can fit
in the airplane seats and buy clothes from main stream stores. But,
best of all I don’t have to worry about what diet I’m going to
try next.”
