It has been a journey, but I feel great. I underwent Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass in January 2013. I’ve made the best of it and have lost 100 pounds so far. My vitamins have helped me stay in great health.

I have more Doctors than I actually need in my life as a result of my weight. This is common among a lot of people including myself. Knowing those words I still could not find it in me to get back to a healthy weight and lifestyle. Thanks to Dr. Afshin Eslami, his office, and surgical team, I have lost over 100lbs in six months. I haven’t felt this good in a long time. I can’t believe that I ignored all those Doctors for years. Now I am clear to have a knee replacement because I am at a safe weight, and soon I may be able to do all the things I haven’t done in years. I don’t know what else to say but, “if not now, when?” It feels really good to be able to chase after my grandchildren and actually take them to a playground and join them instead of sitting at the bench and out of breath.

Dr. Eslami is a sleeve god! He’s the best hands down! Super Professional and honest which is important. I wanted to rush my surgery but he was like nope and made me drop more weight. At first, I didn’t understand but now I know it was so he can perform safely. I had my surgery on 7/18/18 and everything was fine, no complications nothing. His office staff is also great. Oh, and his protein powder is awesome! No nasty after taste and it works! I dropped 30 pounds in 2 weeks drinking it. He’s my new best friend lol

Dr. Eslami gave me life back—it’s like being reborn. On the day of surgery I was 299 lbs and am now 167 lbs; I’ve lost 132 lbs… WOW. I had Sleeve Gastrectomy on 12/21/11 and today (02/21/13) I feel like I’m 20 again. Dr. Eslami is truly the best in this field. Before surgery I had high blood pressure and needed foot surgery; now all is good and I no longer take the mass quantity of prescriptions. Because I chose bariatric surgery, I am medication-free.

Hi, my name is Isabel. I came to Slim Life Solutions weighing 273 lbs and very unhappy. I’m a cook at a correctional training center, so losing weight was very challenging—even though I worked out I felt defeated. My sister told me about bariatric surgery, and here I am a year later, 100 pounds lighter and so very happy. Thank you so much, Dr. Eslami and the team at Slim Life Solutions.

Dr. Eslami has given me a life I thought I could never have. I have been overweight since childhood and never knew what thin was. As an adult I struggled and was unsuccessful at dieting. I had my surgery on Aug 3, 2011. I have lost 110 pounds and have maintained the loss for the past 18 months. I could never have done it without the support and encouragement from Dr. Eslami and his staff.

Dr. Eslami has given me a life that I thought I could never have. I have been overweight since childhood and never knew what thin was. I continued to struggle with my weight as an adult and was unsuccessful at dieting. I had my surgery Aug 3, 2011. I have lost 110 pounds and have maintained the loss for the past 18 months. I couldn’t have done it without the support and encouragement from Dr. Eslami and his staff.
Sharon
This is, by far, the hardest lifestyle change I have experienced. I had the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. In 18 months I have lost 112 lbs; no more high blood pressure or GERD, and my thyroid is normal. Meds have pretty much gone by the wayside. Exercise such as walking up and down stairs is now easy—no more loss of breath. I react to protein powders, so I rely on my diet to keep my protein levels up. Thank you, Dr. Eslami and staff, for your kind care during and after recovery.
Sara
After almost 20 years of yo-yo dieting—losing up to 80 pounds at a time only to gain most of it back—my doctor introduced me to Dr. Eslami and his team. My highest weight was 260, and at the time of my gastric sleeve in January 2013 I was 230, a weight I’d been stuck at for almost two years. Eight months later and over 50 pounds lighter, I feel like a new woman. I have energy, can eat within healthy sleeve limits, and I’m fitting into clothes I haven’t worn in years. Thank you to Dr. Eslami, Rondi, Amanda, and Lynette for helping me get here.
Sarah
I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery in June 2012—one of the best decisions of my life. I was a long-time dieter, a mom of three, morbidly obese, and borderline diabetic. In less than a year I lost almost 100 pounds. Dr. Eslami gave me a tool that changed my life for the better. Thank you to Dr. Eslami and his staff for all your help.
Salvris
Fourteen months ago I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. My starting weight was 283 lbs (BMI 48); now I’m 159 lbs (BMI 28). I have lost 120 lbs and feel great. It’s the small things—crossing my legs, riding a bicycle for the first time in over 30 years. Thank you, Dr. Eslami.
Robyn
I had surgery in March 2011 with a starting weight of 322 pounds and have since lost over 150 pounds. Gastric bypass was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Eslami is an awesome, knowledgeable surgeon who made me feel comfortable from the start. I can cross my legs, play on the floor with my son, lift weights, zip-line, and even run 5Ks. The monthly support meetings are invaluable. Thank you, Dr. Eslami—special thanks to Lynette and Rondi.
Meeks
I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on July 18, 2012. To anyone considering it, don’t hesitate—do it! I tell people I now have two birthdays: my original and my surgery date. My life has started over, and I can’t wait for what the future holds. Dr. Eslami is awesome and his staff is wonderful.
Malinda
Before seeing Dr. Eslami I was diabetic on insulin and oral meds, and also took medication for high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Since surgery I no longer take medication, my diabetes is gone, and I’ve lost over 70 lbs. It has been life-changing and life-saving. I’m so grateful to Dr. Eslami and his staff for their support.
Lori
I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on June 20, 2012 and I’ve lost 112 pounds. I used to have high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and borderline high blood sugar. Now I have endless energy, I look forward to the gym, I no longer use my CPAP, and I’m off blood-pressure meds. Follow Dr. Eslami’s advice and you can change your life in less than a year.
John
I had “The Sleeve” in November 2012 and lost 94 lbs in 10 months. Starting at 324 lbs, I was miserable and out of breath. After surgery I’ve needed only one shot of insulin (I was previously on a 24/7 pump). Blood pressure meds are cut in half. I can do things I haven’t done in years—I enjoy life and my family again. Life is good. Thank you, Dr. Eslami and staff.
Jessica
Before gastric bypass on 1/6/2011 I weighed 362 pounds (size 28W). I dropped to 179 pounds (size 12). My goal was simple: cross my legs and ride a roller coaster. Since surgery I’ve visited Disneyland and Six Flags, gone horseback riding on the beach, jet skiing, and more—and I wore my first dress! My life did a 360 thanks to Dr. Eslami and his supportive staff.
Jen
I had gastric sleeve surgery on 7/31/2013. I’ve lost 60 lbs and am close to my goal. Before surgery I was diabetic with other new-onset conditions; now I’m no longer diabetic and those conditions have disappeared. I’m so grateful to Dr. Eslami and staff for all their help and support.
Heather
I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass on September 12, 2012 and by April 25, 2013 I had lost 140 lbs. I’m a completely different person. I 100% recommend this life-changing surgery to anyone struggling with weight. I’d do it all over again. Thank you, Dr. Eslami—you changed my life!
Ellie
One year ago I prepped for gastric bypass—my last, desperate act to reclaim my life. At 39 and 5’8″, I weighed 289 lbs. After classes, appointments, therapy, and relearning how to eat, I had surgery. Today I weigh 165 lbs—down 124. I’m off meds, happier and healthier than ever, and training for things I never thought possible. The surgery is a tool, not an easy fix, and I work hard to honor it. Thank you, Dr. Eslami and staff—and my supportive family and friends.
Driskill
In one year I lost 100 lbs. In July 2012 I had gastric bypass after years of unsuccessful dieting. I feel like I did 20 years ago—I bike, take long hikes, jump rope, and best of all, play all day with my young daughter. Thank you, Dr. Eslami and staff.
Campbell
In April 2012 I had Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. Before surgery I needed a walker due to a crushed hip and was ineligible for hip surgery because of diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and my weight. After bypass I no longer take medication for those conditions and was able to have hip surgery. I feel better than ever and wear sizes I’ve never worn before.
Prez
I had gastric bypass in September 2013 and in six months I regained my life. I started at 263 lbs and today I’m 173—down 90 lbs and 12 pant sizes (22/24 to 10). I’ve regained my health for my family. None of this would have been possible without Dr. Eslami and his amazing staff.
Kelly
Dr. Eslami not only gave me my life back—he gave me a whole new life. I’m healthier and more active than I’ve been in decades. It’s exciting to buy stylish clothes off the rack and to have the confidence that’s helped me professionally. Dr. Eslami gave me the tools; I’m using them to better my quality of life. I urge anyone struggling with weight to consult with him. I’d do it again tomorrow.
Kathy
Before my Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass in April 2011 I weighed 242.4 lbs with high blood pressure and sleep apnea. After losing 113 lbs I’m off blood-pressure meds, no longer have sleep apnea, and can walk up six flights of stairs without getting winded. Bariatric surgery changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Eslami, for giving me my life back.
