Oct 23, 2023
This is top notch service, I had the sleeve done in 2010, and haven’t had any issues since day one. Weight stayed off and as of today the sleeve is still doing the job. I put a little weight back on because of my own bad habits during Covid. Dr Gachassin is the best Dr…I would recommend him to anybody looking into to weight loss surgery..
