Happy Anniversary Dr. Castro! |
|
Methodist Weight Management Institute welcomed Manuel E. Castro, MD, PhD, FACS one year ago this month:
(February 16, 2007. "Spirit"*) Sisters Margie and Norma have always been close. “She is my best friend,” says Norma about her sister, “We have shared many things over the years, including all of the triumphs and all of the struggles.” One of the struggles they share was a constant battle with weight loss.
When weight began to affect their health and quality of life, the two sisters shared help from bariatric surgeon Dr. Manuel Castro.
“Dr. Castro had an excellent reputation in El Paso,” said Norma, who worked side by side with Dr. Castro as a community volunteer, “He is one of those unique individuals who knows the importance of giving back. He cares about his patients and his community.”

April 14th - I have reached a new milestone. I have officially lost 50 lbs!  I don't know how to describe the joy that I feel now that I have lost all this weight. It kind of feels like a ton of bricks have been lifted off me. I have more energy and it feels great. I wish that I could have a drink to celebrate but since I am unable to drink alcoholic beverages for now, I will wait and have one on my 1 year anniversary . Click here to see Daphne Before & Now
