Ricca McCarrell

Lost 70 pounds in four months

AT 299 POUNDS, my weight had gotten to be such a problem that just getting up in the morning was a task. I couldn't even throw a ball to my son. Gastric bypass surgery literally gave me my life back. Today, I'm off blood pressure and asthma medicines...and on to more important things, like taking my son to the park.

Desert Springs Hospital has the elite bariatric program in town — a true center of excellence. And I should know, I'm living proof.
