"I want to thank everyone there for everything that was done for me during my stay. The professionalism was beyond expectations. I had my Gastric Sleeve and am now down 130 pounds in just under 11 months. I no longer have any health conditions. My diabetes, heart pressure, and other issues are gone! I would be honored to be able to help you in anyway, and tell my complete story on how I fought the VA for the surgery, and how my life has changed." 

— Andy Rubenstein, former PGH Bariatric patient
