What patients are saying about the MidState Medical Center Bariatric Program

"I was very surprised how the team approached my condition. The support they gave me was outstanding. From the start, they explained everything in detail and what I should expect. Once I was on the floor, they gave me the best care. They were always willing to go out of their way to make me feel like I was the only patient they had.”

John Graham, Jr.

“I was never a big eater, but I was gaining weight on a weekly basis. I was working very hard to lose the weight, so I was very discouraged. I’d already had back surgery and knee problems. I had trouble sleeping. I had asthma and reflux disease. I was diabetic, too. I wasn’t even 40 [years old] yet, but I could see that I was looking at a death sentence.

“When I went in for my consultation, they were great. Dr. Benbrahim answered all our questions and really put us at ease.”
