“I started Wegovy last month, and I’ve already lost 7 pounds. Health issues such as high blood pressure, hip and joint pain, and decreased energy were my motivators. I have had a great experience with Molly Vargo. Molly is wonderful, so helpful, and attentive to my needs. I would suggest reaching out to Windber Surgical to discuss the options best for you and your goal.”
“I am having an excellent experience with Dr. Villanueva and the surgical weight loss program. My motivator is my grandchildren. I want to be able to play with them without getting so tired, and I also want some relief from arthritis in my knees and back. My sister is also doing the process with me as a team. I suggest to anyone considering weight loss at CSSMCW to go for it to better your health!”

If you are considering weight loss at CSSMCW, it is a wonderful place and I was provided with a lot of information and support.”
